Pi Network Jumps 5% on AI Buzz Ahead of Critical June 28 Announcement
Pi Network's token gained nearly 5% on June 23, rebounding from a 70% drop since May, as traders speculated about a potential shift toward artificial intelligence. The increase precedes a June 28 event—called 'Pi2Day'—where developers suggested possible GenAI integration.
Data indicates PI ROSE from $0.5126 to $0.552 amid the rumors, though doubts remain. The project's closed mainnet and the upcoming July release of 268.4 million tokens raise questions about whether the AI angle can overcome fundamental challenges.
Founder Nicolas Kokkalis' recent AI-centric appearances have fueled theories, but delays in the network's roadmap leave investors uncertain if this signals real innovation or a strategic diversion.
