Despite a major push for mainstream adoption, Pi Network's price remains flat, trading below $0.35. The recent integration with Onramp Money now allows users in over 60 countries to buy Pi directly using popular payment services like Alipay, Maya, and GCash. While this marks one of the first significant fiat on-ramps for the project, the token's value has fallen more than 80% in the past six months.
Instead of a typical exchange launch, Pi Network is following a deliberate, controlled strategy. It releases tokens through foundation wallets to regulated partners, focusing on real-world use rather than short-term speculation. This approach, supported by analysts, is designed to funnel tokens toward apps, commerce, and peer-to-peer transactions.
This compliance-focused model has even caught the eye of traditional finance, with a Pi-based ETP (exchange-traded product) recently debuting in Europe. Supporters believe these foundational elements — on-ramps, financial products, and regulatory cooperation — distinguish Pi from projects driven purely by hype.
For now, the market remains unenthusiastic. The token recently dropped 4.5% in a single day, as weak buying pressure couldn't overcome steady selling. The Pi Core Team maintains that real-world integration must precede price appreciation, but whether investors are patient enough to wait for fundamentals to catch up remains to be seen.
