Pi Network’s mainnet finally launched in 2025 after over half a decade of development and constant delays due to KYC failures, among other reasons.

The native token also saw the light of day in mid-February and quickly tapped a new all-time high before it plunged by almost 95%. Here’s the year in review.

PI: Year in Review

The PI community had grown tired of consistent delays of the mainnet release, which was prolonged numerous times in late 2024 and early 2025 alone. However, it was finally launched on February 19 when the Open Network brought the PI token to several exchanges, such as Bitget, OKX, and MEXC.

In the following weeks, the excitement around the project was quite high. The team extended the KYC grace period, reintroduced PiFest, praised the .pi domain reservation initiative for compliant Pi community apps, and celebrated Pi Day 2025 – all in March.

Following the conclusion of the PiFest, the team outlined the Pi Ad Network Expansion, which was opened to all ecosystem-listed applications. Further expansion of network capabilities came in early May when they enabled new wallet activation opportunities. Then came a big hint about what’s about to happen in mid-May, with the community turning its sights on a Binance listing.

However, that was another false rumor. Instead, the Core Team outlined the launch of Pi Network Ventures – a Pi-denominated fund aiming to invest $100 million in innovative startups.

The team ended the month with a strong statement toward its gaming audience. They celebrated Pi2Day in late June with an ecosystem challenge for all participating Pioneers. More importantly, though, they entered the AI world with the introduction of Pi App Studio.

During the summer, the team promoted the launch of the first Hackathon after the mainnet release, which lasted a couple of months. It concluded in October, but the winners were announced in December. Meanwhile, some of the project’s co-founders participated in big conferences, including TOKEN2049 in Singapore. Dr. Fan announced live there the release of Pi DEX and AMM liquidity pools.

Pi Network also simplified and improved the KYC procedure by introducing fast-track functions. New updates for the Pi App Studio arrived in October, and Pi Network Ventures made its first investment in OpenMind.

November began with the version 0.5.4 network update, followed by more Pi App Studio upgrades, and a partnership with CiDi Games to accelerate Web3 gaming engagement further.

December concluded with a special Holiday initiative and new updates to the Pi DEX and AMM.

PI Price Review

As briefly mentioned above, PI hit exchanges with a bang, quickly surging to a new all-time high of $2.99 in late February. However, this momentum vanished almost immediately, and the asset entered a prolonged bear market.

More precisely, it lost almost 95% of its value by early October when it plunged to an all-time low of $0.172. Despite recovering some ground to just over $0.20 as of now, it’s still down by 92-93% since its February peak.

It only managed to stage brief price spikes after major community announcements and hints during the year. For example, it skyrocketed to over $1.70 during the speculations in May about a Binance listing, only to fall even harder after those proved wrong.

Nevertheless, there are some positives for PI, as it successfully defended the $0.20 support. Some AI platforms believe it could have a better 2026, under certain conditions, which you can explore here.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
