Crypto: a rumor of partnership with Google AI made Flamber Pi Network of +38 %

The Network Pi token jumped 38 % this week, powered by a series of signals interpreted as the beginnings of a partnership with Google AI. In the wake of this dynamic, the participation of Nicolas Kokkalis in a panel on artificial intelligence during the 2025 consensus and the imminence of the PI2day, scheduled for this Saturday, June 28, stir up speculation. Although still in the transitional phase towards its Mainnet, the project captures attention, and nourishes the hope of a strategic turning point for its ecosystem.

A token that gets carried away as Pi2day approaches

The PI price, a native token of the Pi Network ecosystem, experienced a spectacular increase of 38 % between June 22 and 25, and climbed from $ 0.47 to $ 0.65, before descending slightly to $ 0.55 today.

This outbreak is not due to a technological advance or an update of the protocol, but to a series of events interpreted by the Crypto community as signs of a strategic turning point.

It all starts with the remarkable presence of Nicolas Kokkalis, co -founder of Pi Network, at a panel on the generative AI at the Conference Consensus 2025. A few hours later, the Official Pi Network account published on X: “We will provide answers on the occasion of the PI2day”. An enigmatic sentence, but sufficient to trigger a wave of speculative optimism.

The rumor of a partnership with Google AI quickly increases on social networks. Several visual elements and community interpretations feed this thesis:

• A member of the community affirm On X that the promotional visual of PI Network has a star similar to that of the Google Deepmind logo;

• Another mentioned An internal project called Piai, which could be linked to an integration of artificial intelligence in the PI ecosystem;

• The anticipation of the PI2day, scheduled for June 28, is experienced as a strategic deadline where major announcements could be made;

• Some more cautious community members call for moderation: “Even if the announcement on Saturday can be exciting, keep your feet on the ground”,, writing a user, suggesting “Moderate expectations to avoid a possible disappointment”.

This speculation cocktail in the absence of precise on-chain data, ambiguity and calibrated marketing was enough to boost the price of the PI in a few hours. However, the facts are still vague. No official confirmation of a partnership with Google has been published.

An ecosystem that seeks to prove its real value

Beyond the announcement effect, some recent developments complete this table with a project in search of legitimacy. On May 15, Pi Network formalized the launch of an investment fund of $ 100 million, intended to support crypto projects built on its blockchain.

The displayed objective is clear: to increase the real usefulness of its ecosystem by encouraging startups to build concrete solutions. Funding will mainly be done in US dollars, but the Token Pi can also be used in some cases. This financial commitment was praised by a part of the community, which sees it as a sign of strong commitment to adoption.

However, this credibilization effort does not convince everyone. On networks, several members of the PI network still question the differentiating value proposition of the project. One of them said: “I don't see anything really innovative in what Pi Network offers. Other blockchains have already done all this ”.

This type of commentary reflects a persistent skepticism, especially around the lack of clarity concerning the production of the Mainnet and the effective convertibility of the crypto pi, always not listed on the main exchanges. The project seems to be taken between a massive and committed user base, and a still unique roadmap.

In this context, the announcement on Saturday could represent much more than a simple media blow. If a collaboration with Google AI had to be confirmed, it would give Pi Network a significant symbolic and technological weight in the race for the Blockchain-II convergence. Conversely, if the expectations are not met, the current dynamics could reveal suddenly, with direct consequences on the price of the crypto, but also on the credibility of the project with its own users. The PI2day 2025 therefore promises to be a decisive sequence, where the surprise effect must be up to the expectations fueled in recent days.
