Pi Network’s approach to valuation, centered on productivity, poses a challenge to conventional cryptocurrency assessment methods.

Pi Network's token could be on the verge of a significant price jump, as large holders accumulate nearly 375 million tokens, supported by recent technical achievements and key network enhancements. The platform, which has achieved notable results on its testnet and seen a rise in decentralized app (dApp) development, is approaching the public launch of its mainnet. Analysts point to robust on-chain metrics and growing institutional attention as strong bullish indicators, according to

reports.

Testnet 1 demonstrated an almost flawless transaction success rate, which

highlighted as proof of the network's reliability, accelerating the rollout of Mainnet v23. The achievements of Testnet 1 have set the stage for more intensive trials in Testnet 2, with developers stressing that insights gained will directly improve Mainnet performance. The release of Pi Desktop v0.5.4 has also enhanced the user experience and computational precision for node operators, as reported.

The upcoming Pi DEX (Decentralized Exchange) mainnet aims to prevent price manipulation by linking Pi's value to actual productivity indicators. This DEX will utilize smart contracts to facilitate open, peer-to-peer trades, with Pi's price reflecting the activity of over 350,000 nodes, more than 20,000 dApps, and user engagement, as

reported. Moving away from speculative pricing on centralized exchanges to a model based on productivity is viewed as a pivotal move toward financial autonomy for the network, as reported.

A prominent whale has resumed heavy accumulation, acquiring over 1.23 million tokens in a single day and raising total holdings to 374.5 million, as

reported. This buying spree, along with the emergence of bullish chart patterns such as inverse head-and-shoulders and falling wedge formations, points to a possible rally toward $0.50—a 120% rise from current prices, as reported. Experts observe that the whale's ongoing purchases—now valued at over $86 million—reflect strong confidence in Pi's future, especially as the network rolls out AI-powered KYC and pursues ISO certification for major exchange listings, as reported.

Pi Network is broadening its scope beyond just financial transactions. Through the OpenMind project, node operators are now able to provide computing power for distributed AI training, as

reported. The network’s $100 million venture fund has also invested in OpenMind, a company focused on robotics and AI, marking a strategic shift toward technological innovation, as reported.

Industry watchers note that Pi's ecosystem, with 433 million users and 423 million tokens in circulation, is well-positioned for wider adoption, as

reported. Nevertheless, the network still faces hurdles, such as the need for official mainnet confirmation and regulatory approval.

Despite ongoing price swings, the combination of whale accumulation, technical progress, and a productivity-based valuation model has led to comparisons with Ethereum's recent recovery driven by large holders, as

reported. Major investors like BitMine and Republic Technologies are also increasing their staking and reserves, demonstrating growing trust in blockchain asset valuation, as reported.

As Pi Network moves closer to launching its open mainnet, the interaction between whale activity, technical advancements, and decentralized functionality could reshape its market outlook. With 50 million Pioneers ready for the next stage, the network's future may depend on its ability to remain stable and deliver meaningful real-world solutions, as

reported.
