Pi Network Soars Amid Google Partnership Rumors
26 Jun, 2025 ● Coin news
The price of Pi Network’s token jumped 38% this week, driven by speculation surrounding an upcoming announcement related to artificial intelligence and a rumored partnership with Google.
Interest intensified after Pi Network co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis joined a generative AI panel at Consensus 2025, prompting discussion about possible AI integration. On Sunday, Pi Network posted on X that more details would be revealed during the Pi2Day event on Thursday.
This combination of public appearances and online posts led many to believe the project may be preparing to embed AI into its blockchain ecosystem. Following the announcement, the PI token surged from $0.47 on Sunday to a peak of $0.65 by Wednesday, before dipping slightly to $0.57 at the time of writing.
Online speculation about a Google partnership also picked up momentum. One X user noted similarities between a Pi Network graphic and the Google AI logo, while another linked the event to a project called PiAI.
Though some in the community are optimistic about the announcement, others advised caution, suggesting supporters “lower their expectations” to avoid disappointment.
Cointelegraph attempted to contact Pi Network for clarification but had not received a response by publication. Skepticism also exists within the community, with one user questioning the project's innovation and encouraging others to remain critical and ask more questions.
The token’s recent rally comes on the heels of another significant development: Pi Network’s launch of a $100 million startup fund on May 15. The fund aims to support businesses that enhance the utility of the Pi ecosystem, with investments primarily in USD, though the native token will also be used to finance qualifying projects.
