- Recent sessions have seen Pi face increased price swings, breaking through crucial levels, and it is trading below $0.30.
- Dr. Altcoin has hinted that Pi Network could be planning a PiUSD stablecoin to inject more liquidity and increase the network’s utility.
The Pi Network community is buzzing with speculation as one vocal supporter, Dr. Altcoin, a Pi community member, argues that the Pi Network might create a stablecoin, PiUSD, which could transform how the network handles payments, AI interactions, and asset tokenization.
He envisions PiUSD powering transactions not only between users but also between autonomous machines, bots, or AI agents, essentially enabling a machine-to-machine (M2M) economy.
On the doctor’s X post, he explained,
It is possible that Pi Network will introduce its own stablecoin, one that could become truly transformative in the AI and robotics industry. Such a stable asset would enable seamless transactions between humans, AI agents, and autonomous robots within the Pi ecosystem, powering the next wave of machine-to-machine economy.
The idea is that once PiUSD is active, it becomes a stable medium of value in the Pi ecosystem. That gives the system a firm foundation for representing other assets, like property, commodities, or financial instruments, in on-chain token form.
On top of this, Dr.Altcoin pointed to a recent interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box where Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, explained that tokenization is still in its early stages and has yet to mature fully.
They highlighted his remarks in the context of Pi Network’s strengths, noting that its blockchain is eco-friendly, delivers high transaction speeds, and maintains extremely low gas fees.
Pi Network is often praised for its low transaction costs and energy efficiency. Those features are especially important for tokenization, where many small transactions and fractional ownership require minimal overhead.
If PiUSD can maintain stability and liquidity, it can act as a “stable backbone” for tokenized assets, meaning other tokens can peg or settle in PiUSD, simplifying transfers across different representations of value.
Pi DEX and AMM Launch on Testnet
On September 30, the Pi Network announced that it had deployed decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) liquidity pool capabilities on its Testnet environment. This means developers and Pioneers can now experiment with token swaps, creating liquidity pools, and testing DeFi mechanics, all within a safe setting that doesn’t affect the Mainnet.
Token creation is enabled on Testnet, meaning devs can mint test tokens to power DEX/AMM interactions like swaps and liquidity provisioning in this environment. By isolating DeFi features to Testnet, Pi protects its Mainnet from bugs or exploits while developers iterate.
Non-developer users can get familiar with DeFi concepts and build confidence before the launch. These features are being built into the protocol layer, meaning future DEX/AMM front-ends by community developers can plug in seamlessly.
As CNF reported earlier, one of the highlights for Pi Network in Q4 2025 is the Pi Hackathon 2025, which officially kicked off on August 15 and closed submissions just yesterday, October 15. The event has already drawn attention from the community and developers alike, with a grand prize of 75,000 Pi up for grabs for the winning team.
Pi’s market performance has shown some weakness recently; the token is currently trading around $0.2109, reflecting a 9.77% decline over the past week. Its market capitalization stands at approximately $1.7 billion, with a daily trading volume of about $28 million, placing Pi at rank 52 among global cryptocurrencies.
