Pi Network’s (PI) token has gained 38% this week, drawing significant attention. This sudden surge is being attributed to the project’s artificial intelligence (AI)-focused plans and growing rumors of a potential collaboration with Google. These developments, taking place just before the upcoming Pi2Day event on Saturday, have further boosted expectations.
Pi Network (PI) Joins the Consensus 2025 Panel!
The rise was sparked after Pi Network co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis appeared on a generative AI panel at the Consensus 2025 event. On Sunday, Pi Network’s official X account posted that more details would be shared on Thursday during the Pi2Day event.
Following this announcement, the PI token price soared to $0.65 on Wednesday, up from its Sunday low of $0.47 — marking a roughly 38% increase. However, the price later dropped. At the time of writing, the PI token is trading at $0.5595, showing a daily loss of 8.3%.
Google Partnership Speculations Go Viral on Social Media
As the price climbed, speculation about a possible partnership with Google began circulating on social media. One X user pointed out that a star icon used in a Pi Network announcement resembles the logo of Google’s AI division. Another user speculated that the announcement might relate to a project called “PiAI.”
While some community members were excited, others approached the news with caution. One comment stated, “Expectations might be high for Saturday, but it’s wise to keep them in check to avoid disappointment.” Another user criticized Pi Network for lacking real innovation, urging the community to ask more questions and stay critical.
$100 Million Startup Fund Announcement
The recent PI token activity also brought renewed attention to a major announcement made last month. On May 15, Pi Network revealed a $100 million investment fund aimed at boosting the utility of its blockchain ecosystem. The company stated that the fund would support developers through investments in both US dollars and its native token.
With all eyes now on Saturday’s Pi2Day event, the community is eager to see how the upcoming announcement will shape Pi Network’s roadmap and its standing in the crypto world.
