There have been significant updates on the Pi Network front recently, including the integration of its native PI token into Telegram and notable changes for developers. Here's a breakdown of the latest developments.
Telegram Integration: PI Token in the Messaging App
In a recent report from CryptoPotato, it was revealed that Telegram, the popular messaging platform founded by Pavel Durov, has integrated the PI token into its wallet feature. This allows users to hold, buy, and store PI tokens. However, it’s important to note that while users can manage their tokens within Telegram’s wallet, they are currently unable to send, withdraw, or receive PI tokens through the platform.
Although Pi News, a widely followed account on X (formerly Twitter), reported on this update and shared screenshots of users displaying their PI tokens in the Telegram wallet, the official Pi Network channel has yet to confirm these details. Despite the lack of official confirmation, the widespread reports on social media suggest that this feature is indeed active.
Updates for Developers: PiNet Migration and Domain Registration
In an official announcement, Pi Network shared some important news for developers. The update outlined that community apps that have adhered to the necessary listing guidelines and completed PiNet migration by May 28 can secure their domains without having to participate in an auction process. This grace period was implemented to accommodate developers who missed the initial migration window.
For those who have already migrated their community apps to PiNet, developers must now take further steps, such as registering URLs, customizing display preferences for mobile or desktop versions, and optimizing the user experience to allow non-Pi users to explore the apps. This is part of Pi Network’s effort to ensure that the ecosystem grows and remains accessible to a wider audience.
PI Token Price Update: Decline Amid Positive Developments
Despite the recent positive news surrounding Pi Network, including the Telegram integration and developer updates, the price of PI tokens has continued to experience a significant decline. Just a month ago, the token was priced around $3, but it has dropped by over 72% since then, currently sitting at just over $0.80. In the past week alone, the price has decreased by nearly 30%.
However, some analysts remain optimistic about the future of the PI token. MOON JEFF, a market analyst, suggests that the token may face more short-term downward movement, potentially dipping as low as $0.60. Yet, he believes this could serve as a crucial turning point, leading to a rebound and potentially pushing the token to a new all-time high, possibly reaching $5.
Andrew Griffiths, another analyst, sees an opportunity to buy PI tokens if the price drops to $0.75, due to the formation of a Falling Wedge Pattern, which is often considered a bullish signal in technical analysis.
Pi News encourages the community to focus on actively contributing to the project's development, suggesting that the token’s price will ultimately respond to the project's overall progress. While some in the community view the current price drop with concern, others remain hopeful and view the situation as an opportunity for long-term growth.
Conclusion
Pi Network is making strides with its integration into Telegram and updates for developers, but the PI token's price remains under pressure. Despite this, the community and analysts seem divided. Some see the current market situation as a potential opportunity, while others are cautious. As always, the project's future will depend on the ongoing development and its ability to create a robust ecosystem.
