Pi Day and v20.2 Update Spark Excitement

One of the main reasons behind Pi Coin’s rally is the Pi Day event on March 14. This date holds symbolic importance for the Pi Network community and has historically been a time for major announcements. This year, expectations are even higher because the v20.2 protocol update, scheduled for March 12–14, is considered a critical technical step for the network. There is speculation that this update could pave the way for the Pi Network DEX (decentralized exchange) launch.

Crypto market analyst Maya Chen commented:

“Event weeks often lead to rapid increases in demand as investors anticipate major announcements. Markets often try to price in the ‘best-case scenario’ before the actual announcement.”

Another key factor behind Pi Coin’s rise is the large purchases by major investors. On-chain data shows several big transactions in a short period totaling over 5.3 million PI. Identified transactions include:

• 4 million PI
• 14 million PI
• 8 million PI

In markets with relatively low liquidity like Pi, these large purchases reduce supply and create strong upward pressure on the price.

Exchange Movements and Increased Liquidity

In the last 24 hours, about 4.8 million PI tokens have been transferred to exchanges. While this could indicate potential selling pressure, in the current market conditions, it is largely viewed as liquidity supporting high-volume trading. The combination of increasing trading volume and growing investor interest is a key factor supporting Pi Coin’s recent rally. From a technical perspective, some notable signals are emerging. Pi Coin has moved above the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA), which many investors interpret as the start of a medium-term bullish trend. However, certain indicators also point to short-term risks. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently around 70, typically considered an overbought zone, suggesting that a short-term price correction may occur.

Evaluation

The recent rally in Pi Network is driven by a combination of technical signals, whale accumulation, and expectations around the upcoming Pi Day event. In particular, the v20.2 update and potential ecosystem announcements could have a significant short-term impact on price. However, analysts note that this surge is largely event-driven speculation, meaning investors should be mindful of high volatility risks and closely monitor official announcements expected around March 14.

The post Why Is Pi Coin Price Rising? appeared first on Coin Engineer.

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.
