Pi Network’s native token saw a significant 38% increase this week, fueled by growing excitement around a forthcoming announcement related to artificial intelligence. Speculation is also mounting about a potential collaboration with tech giant Google.
The buzz intensified after Pi Network’s co-founder, Nicolas Kokkalis, appeared on an AI-focused panel at the Consensus 2025 conference. Shortly after, Pi Network teased on X (formerly Twitter) that more details would be shared during its upcoming “Pi2Day” event scheduled for Thursday.
These developments have led many to believe that Pi Network is preparing to embed AI capabilities into its ecosystem. The token responded with a price rally—climbing from $0.47 on Sunday to a high of $0.65 on Wednesday, before settling at around $0.57 at the time of writing.
Social Media Fuels Google AI Partnership Theories
Following the price jump, social media platforms lit up with theories. One user on X suggested that Pi Network may be partnering with Google’s AI division, referencing a visual symbol in a Pi Network post that resembled the Google AI logo. Others speculated that the announcement could relate to an initiative called “PiAI.”
Despite the optimism, not everyone is convinced. While some in the community are hopeful for a groundbreaking reveal on Saturday, others urged caution, advising fellow users to temper expectations to avoid potential letdowns.
One skeptical member pointed out that Pi’s progress doesn’t appear significantly different from other blockchain projects, urging the community to scrutinize the platform’s real-world value and innovations.
$100 Million Fund Aims to Boost Ecosystem Growth
The recent price spike also follows a major funding announcement from Pi Network last month. On May 15, the project introduced a $100 million fund designed to back startups and businesses that can contribute to the growth and utility of the Pi ecosystem.
While investments will primarily be made in USD, the Pi team noted that its native token may also be used to support qualifying ventures.
