Pi Network News: Why Pi Could Follow XRP’s Path With Dual-Token Model
Once seen as a community-driven revolution, Pi Network now sits in limbo, caught between promise and misunderstanding. The network was founded on a simple idea: one coin, one community, one vision. However, confusion has spread across the ecosystem as many users turn to unofficial sources for guidance.
One such source is a so-called “GCV handbook,” written by community members, which claims that 1 Pi equals $314,159 and that there are two different Pi tokens—one for exchanges and another for GCV transactions. According to crypto expert Dr. Altcoin, this is entirely false.
“There is no such thing as a dual value using the same ticker like Pi,” he explained, adding that real dual-token systems, such as InterLink’s ITLG and ITL, use separate tickers for clarity and function.
PiUSD and Real-World Asset (RWA) Integration Shape Pi Network’s Possible Future
The Pi Core Team (PCT) appears to be exploring legitimate paths for future growth. Two directions stand out:
- Real-World Asset (RWA) Integration: Pi may adopt the ERC-3643 standard to bring tokenized assets on-chain. This integration would likely require a stablecoin—possibly named PiUSD—to maintain value stability during transactions.
- Partnership with OpenMind: This collaboration aims to support decentralized robotic systems using Pi’s unused nodes. In this context, a stablecoin like PiUSD could again play a key role in facilitating payments.
The analyst noted that it could take years before Pi reaches full ecosystem maturity. Yet, its future could mirror that of XRP, which recently introduced RLUSD, a stablecoin designed to complement XRP’s payment network.
If Pi follows a similar path, it might evolve into a dual-token economy—with Pi serving as the utility token and PiUSD providing stability—shifting from speculation toward a more structured and functional ecosystem.
