Pi Coin’s price is experiencing a resurgence after the launch of its decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) testnets. This development, coupled with an anticipated mainnet upgrade in Q4 2025, has triggered renewed investor interest and activity, particularly in emerging markets. |
The Pi Network’s DeFi ecosystem is benefiting from these testnet launches. Pi Coin’s DEX and AMM functionalities are now available on the Testnet within the Pi Wallet. The Pi Core Team encourages users to explore these new features through videos and guides.
Nicolas Kokkalis, Pi’s core team leader, is driving these expansion efforts with Protocol 23 aiming for increased network throughput. Official updates highlight the testnet launches and encourage community participation.
The price of Pi Coin has seen a positive trend following the announcement, trading at $0.213 after hitting initial resistance at $0.228.
Emerging markets, such as Nigeria and India, are crucial to this development due to the growing DeFi sector in those regions. Financial engagement is focused on liquidity pool integrations and partnerships with companies like Banxa that provide fiat on-ramp solutions for more robust DeFi growth in these areas. The Pi Network’s ambition of boosting on-chain activity through the testnet launch has attracted over 1.3 million users, signaling potential future market innovations such as cross-chain interoperability.
The project’s team is committed to refining smart contract capabilities with plans for a mainnet upgrade in Q4 2025, While institutional involvement details remain sparse, existing partnerships suggest a promising trajectory for Pi Network growth.
