Major Pi Network Update: Will This Be the Turning Point for PI?

2025/10/23 18:21

The developments surrounding the controversial crypto project Pi Network are quite frequent, and in the following lines, we will focus on the latest one.

We will also examine the price performance of the native token PI and assess its potential for a short-term resurgence.

‘Turn Your PI Into Power’

PiBridge, a project related to Pi Network that specializes in offering exclusive services to the community, such as an exchange platform, recently unveiled P2P lending. This means that people can now use their PI holdings as collateral, borrow stablecoins, or lend to earn yields.

The team revealed that this initiative marks the next step toward the launch of the PiBridge Neobank.

Another recent development surrounding Pi Network is the upgrade of the AI-powered platform Pi App Studio. In mid-October, the team launched new updates “to make app creation more accessible and customizable, and integrated within the ecosystem.”

Pi App Studio saw the light of day on June 28, a date known across the PI community as Pi2Day, with the primary goal of enabling users to create decentralized applications (dApps) without any programming skills.

Meanwhile, in August, the team unveiled the Pi Hackathon 2025: an event that encourages developers to build real-world applications that expand the utility of the PI coin. While it was supposed to run until October 14, Pi Network has not yet given details about its end.

PI Price Outlook

Several hours ago, the price of Pi Network’s native cryptocurrency plummeted to $0.19, but shortly after, it followed the resurgence of the entire crypto market and is now trading above $0.20.

However, this level remains quite disappointing for the bulls since it represents a 26% decline on a monthly scale and a staggering 93% crash since the all-time high of $3 witnessed at the start of the year.

Two essential factors signal that PI’s valuation may experience a more substantial rebound in the near future. First, the amount of tokens stored on crypto exchanges has decreased significantly: over one million coins have left centralized platforms in the past 24 hours alone, suggesting investors have shifted towards self-custody methods, thus reducing selling pressure.

Second, PI’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which continues hovering around 30. The technical analysis tool measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes to give traders a possible idea of reversal points. Ratios below 30 indicate the asset is oversold and due for a potential rally, while anything above 70 is interpreted as a bearish signal.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
