Pi Coin dropped 19% after Dr. Nicholas Kokkalis, founder and CTO of Pi Network, spoke at Consensus 2025. It went below $0.71 and lost over 50% from its May high of $1.50. This despite Dr. Kokkalis’ presentation on integrating AI and blockchain to grow Pi Network.

Daily trading volume jumped 30% to $552 million on major exchanges. Analysts warn without a major catalyst like a listing, Pi Coin could go back to $0.40. On-chain data showed 1.2 million Pi Coins were deposited to OKX, more bearishness.

Pi Network’s Growth Strategy Criticized

This week, the Pi Core team announced Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million fund to grow DApps on the Pi platform. But the community was skeptical. The network is far behind projections and starting fresh with DApps won’t attract devs without a user base.

At Consensus 2025, Dr. Kokkalis outlined three pillars of Pi’s future roadmap:

• AI and Blockchain: Combining AI with blockchain for real world solutions.

• Global DeFi and Digital ID: Decentralized finance and digital identity for the world.

• Full Decentralization: Disable the central node for full autonomy.

He mentioned e-commerce, education and healthcare use cases. But no timeline for these goals and the Open mainnet launch is still delayed.

What the Community Expects Next

Dr. Altcoin, a prominent Pi community member, shared a potential revival roadmap for Pi Coin:

• 6-12 months: Get Pi Network Ventures team up and running.

• 6-12 months: Carefully select and vet DApp projects and devs.

• 3-6 months: Start disbursing funds to startups.

• 1-2 years: Build and launch high quality, standard compliant DApps.

• Bonus: A listing on a major exchange to boost liquidity and price.The community hopes these will help to regain trust and stop the decline.

TL;DR: Pi Coin dropped 19% after Consensus 2025. Selling on exchanges and no timelines, could go back to $0.40 unless Pi Network Ventures and listing happens soon.
