Pi Network (PI) is back in the spotlight after its token surged 38% this week, climbing from $0.47 to a peak of $0.65, before pulling back to around $0.57.

๐Ÿง  Why the spike?

Speculation is growing that Pi Network may be partnering with Google AI or launching its own AI initiative. This comes ahead of Pi2Day, a community event scheduled for Saturday where big announcements are expected.

๐Ÿ” What Sparked the Rumors?

Pi co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis appeared on an AI panel at Consensus 2025.

The official Pi X account hinted at upcoming AI-focused news with a mysterious teaser.

Some users pointed out the use of a star symbol in Piโ€™s graphics that looked similar to Googleโ€™s AI branding.

Others mentioned a project named PiAI could be involved.

๐Ÿ“‰ Despite the hype, some community members urged caution:

โ€œLower expectations โ€” donโ€™t get carried away unless thereโ€™s hard proof,โ€ one wrote.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Mixed Reactions From the Community

โœ”๏ธ Bullish side sees this as a potential turning point that could expand Piโ€™s ecosystem beyond payments and mining.

โŒ Skeptics question whether Pi is doing anything truly unique, arguing most of its features already exist in other chains.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Pi Networkโ€™s $100M Fund Still in Play

Donโ€™t forget โ€” just last month, Pi Network announced a $100 million ecosystem fund to support projects building on its blockchain. The fund may be used in USD or PI tokens, and could help fund AI-linked startups if this weekโ€™s rumors turn out to be true.

๐Ÿ“Œ TL;DR for Traders:

๐Ÿ“ˆ PI token jumped 38% amid AI hype and Google partnership speculation

๐Ÿง  Co-founderโ€™s AI panel appearance fueled buzz

๐Ÿ“… Big reveal coming Saturday (Pi2Day event)

๐Ÿ’ฐ Project already launched a $100M fund for blockchain/AI startups

โžก๏ธ Watch Saturday closely.
