🔥📢 BREAKING: PI NETWORK OFFICIALLY APPEARS IN DTIF'S REGISTRY (ISO 24165) 😲

After the MiCA Whitepaper, here's another major legal-technical milestone the Pi community needs to know about!

📌 The DTI Foundation (DTIF) the official Registration Authority for the global ISO 24165 standard has ISSUED a record directly linked to Pi Network on its Registry system.

🔍 RECORD DETAILS:

➤ Identifier: 2Z2WZP5KM
➤ Type: Equivalent Digital Token Group
➤ Long Name: Pi Network
➤ Symbol: PI
➤ Status: ISSUED ✅
➤ Class of Information: VALIDATED ✅
➤ Date Issued: 2025-12-12
➤ Equivalent Digital Token Identifiers List: 2K95TZ2QN, the exact DTI code Pi Network disclosed in its MiCA Whitepaper!

🌐 View it directly on DTIF's official Registry:
👉 registry.dtif.org/details/asset/…

🤯 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

➤ This is no longer just a self-declared claim from Pi, it's a record validated and issued by DTIF itself, the independent authority behind the ISO 24165 standard, on their own public system.

➤ ISO 24165 is the global token identification standard used by exchanges, banks, and financial institutions to unambiguously identify digital assets.

➤ Appearing in the Registry with ISSUED + VALIDATED status is a critical infrastructure milestone for exchange listings, banking integration, and institutional-scale OTC trading.

😲 From a mobile mining project, Pi Network now sits inside the globally recognized digital asset identification system.

🔥 This is living proof that while many still doubt it, the Pi Core Team has been quietly completing every piece of the legal infrastructure puzzle, step by step.

🤜🗯️ DOES PI NEED THE CLARITY ACT TO PASS? 🙄

The answer is YES & NO 🤔🤨

👍 1️⃣ YES

Looking from the US market perspective:

The CLARITY Act could create a clearer legal framework for digital assets in the US. If passed, exchanges, investment funds, and businesses would gain more transparency and confidence when participating in the crypto market.

For Pi Network, this could be a favorable factor. Over the years, Pi has focused on building its foundation with elements like KYC/KYB, aimed at strengthening user and business verification, along with blockchain technology upgrades like BN254 and Poseidon, which support advanced security mechanisms such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP).

These preparatory steps don't mean Pi depends on CLARITY, but if the legal environment in the US becomes clearer, Pi could have more opportunities to expand its ecosystem, attract businesses, and reach larger institutions.

🤨 2️⃣ NO

CLARITY is not the deciding factor for Pi Network's success or failure.
A law can create a favorable environment, but it cannot replace the real value of an ecosystem. Pi's success still depends on these core factors:

➤ Whether the ecosystem creates many practical and useful applications
➤ Whether users actually use Pi for payments, transactions, and daily activities
➤ Whether businesses see value and accept Pi in their business operations
➤ Whether Pi Network continues to maintain standards of security, legal compliance, and global scalability

BOTTOM LINE 💭

CLARITY can be seen as a "tailwind," helping Pi and the entire crypto industry gain more favorable conditions for growth in the US, but it is not the deciding factor for success.

If CLARITY passes, Pi could benefit from a more transparent market and stronger participation from major institutions.
But even without CLARITY, Pi still needs to prove its value through its own ecosystem, practical applications, and level of real-world adoption.

CLARITY may help Pi accelerate, but real practical value is what ultimately determines how far Pi can go 🚀

😘 People love to praise blockchain for the transparency of cryptography and math, but honestly, what actually decides whether a large-scale network survives lies deep in the operational discipline behind the code.
Technology can start as a brilliant idea, but it only truly matures when protected by a rigorous, level-headed engineering mindset.

Just look at the Pi Node upgrade schedule table and this becomes obvious right away.
This isn't some random manual update here and there it's a sign of blockchain infrastructure being run through a professional DevOps process.

⚙️ Before, these two teams were separate. Dev would finish writing the software then hand it off to Ops to install.
If something broke, they'd point fingers at each other.

DevOps was created so both sides work as one unified team, using automated processes and tools to reduce errors and speed up deployment.

Example with Pi Network 🥧
Let's say Pi has 500 validator nodes.

❌ If done manually:
➤ Shut down all 500 nodes.
➤ Install the new version.
➤ Restart everything.
If the new version has a bug, the entire network could go down.
───

✅ Following the DevOps process:

➤ 1. Upgrade the first 10 nodes.
➤ 2. Monitor for errors.
➤ 3. If stable, divert a portion of traffic to these 10 nodes.
➤ 4. Continue upgrading 50 nodes.
➤ 5. Then 100 nodes.
➤ 6. Finally, the entire network runs the new version.

If a bug is found at step 2, you just roll back to the previous version, instead of affecting the whole network.

Why does Pi's documentation carry the mark of DevOps? 🧩

In the document you sent, there are details like:
✅ A rollout roadmap organized by version.
✅ Specific deployment dates.
✅ Status labels like Completed, In Progress, Do NOT Start.
✅ Guidance saying "Don't upgrade all at once."
✅ Mentions of diverting traffic to other nodes.
✅ Internal data migration.

These are all common practices in DevOps and large-scale system operations.

First: Some online sites are acting like the SEC is about to gain some new supreme power. The reality is, from the beginning, the SEC has always intervened and sued crypto projects based on its outdated laws, without needing Congressional approval. They don't need anyone's permission to enforce laws, so why the scare tactic of "preparing to enact legislation"?

Second: The CLARITY Act was actually created to curb the SEC's power, forcing it to cede some regulatory authority to other bodies (like the CFTC) to prevent it from filing lawsuits indiscriminately. That law would never grant the SEC the power to create new laws on its own, as the sensationalist headlines are distorting.

In short, those kinds of "BREAKING" news stories are mainly written to scare the public and generate interaction. Don't get worked up just because of the catchy English headlines!

🚨 Another mining scandal has just rocked the community, bro. The incident targeting Solido resulted in the theft of 293.7 million SUPRA tokens, worth approximately $900,000.🔥

Notably, the majority of these funds originated from the Supra Foundation, and around 220 million SUPRA tokens were transferred to a suspicious wallet address on the Gate exchange. The market has been hit by these kinds of security shocks lately, keeping everyone following the project on edge.

Many people ask me why I'm still persistent with Pi. The answer is simple: I believe in the "no intermediary" model.

Looking back to the 1990s when the Internet was just emerging, people called it a "joke" because it was too slow, its real value was unclear, and everyone just wanted to "sell off" domain names at dirt-cheap prices. But it was the perseverance of the pioneers that created the Internet that has changed the world today.

The market now is very fast-paced; 90% of participants only want a price to "dump" their holdings. Everyone wants to be quick, but that "quick fix" mindset is a barrier that prevents projects with a long-term vision from reaching their goals.

Pi Network wasn't created to be a short-term "speculative" asset. It's a financial infrastructure. And infrastructure needs builders, it needs perseverance, not a fleeting moment of excitement followed by a complete withdrawal.

If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far and sustainably, you must look beyond the numbers displayed on the screen.

Don't you think that amidst a sea of projects with an "academic facade" that are actually scams, the biggest challenge is remaining steadfast in pursuing something with genuine technological value?

🚨 Breaking News: US Senate Temporarily Delays CLARITY Act to Prioritize Russia Sanctions 🤨

According to CoinDesk, the US Senate has recently decided to temporarily postpone consideration of the CLARITY Act to prioritize a sanctions bill related to Russia.

* Delayed progress: Due to a tight schedule and the prioritization of political issues, the vote on this highly anticipated crypto bill is unlikely to take place before next week.

* Time pressure before recess: This delay makes the time for debate and voting before Congress goes on recess on August 8th extremely tight.

* Market reaction: This information has added short-term pressure to the cryptocurrency market as investors await a clear legal framework.

Although the schedule has been stalled due to more pressing macroeconomic priorities, this is largely a procedural delay in the Senate's legislative process.

🚨 LIST OF "DEAD" CRYPTO PROJECTS IN 2026 FROM ROOTDATA 😧

RootData released the 2026 Crypto Dead Projects List (updated July 27, 2026), naming numerous crypto projects that shut down including several that once raised millions from major funds.

HIGHLIGHTS 📊

➤ Diverse sectors: DeFi, Lending, NFT, Gaming, Social, Derivatives, Crypto Media, Infra. Notable: SecondFi, NFTfi, Stream Finance, MilkyWay, Goldfinch, ODOS, LogX, Over Protocol, GOAT Gaming...

Big funding, still failed:

➤ Goldfinch (Lending, RWA) — $37M, backed by a16z
➤ Legend (DEX, Lending) — $15M, with Coinbase Ventures
➤ NFTfi — $11.89M from Placeholder
➤ LogX (Derivatives) — $10.1M, Coinbase Ventures
➤ Over Protocol (Layer1) — $8M, Netmarble
➤ Parsec (Data) — $5.25M, Polychain

🚨📢 The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has just added 15 more cryptocurrency asset service providers (CASPs) to its regulatory framework.

The highlight is the inclusion of BNY Mellon Europe (a branch of the world's largest custodian bank managing $62.6 trillion) along with names like BitPay, Coinify, and Bleap.

The official entry of large-scale traditional financial institutions into the European regulatory framework demonstrates the increasing transparency and integration of the cryptocurrency market.

NVIDIA, along with a host of other big names like Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, etc., has officially formed the Open Secure AI Alliance.

Previously, these major tech companies often kept their security secrets to themselves to compete with each other, but this time they're going big: opening their treasure trove, laying bare all their models, research tools, and security techniques for the world to play on!

Movements regarding the crypto legal framework are sprinting day by day, so everyone needs to keep a close eye on it to grasp the market situation!

🚨📉 BITMEX AND BITMART BOTH ANNOUNCE SHUTDOWNS

1. The real reason
Not bankruptcy, not a hack, not a sudden freeze. Both are shutting down proactively:

→ BitMEX: The board conducted a comprehensive strategic review. Despite being a legendary name that pioneered perpetual swap contracts, it had gradually been overtaken by larger competitors in market share, compounded by years of regulatory pressure.

→ BitMart: Cited "operating conditions, market environment, and future strategic direction." Analysts believe mid-tier exchanges are under heavy pressure from liquidity constraints, compliance costs, and competition from major players — making their business model hard to sustain.

BitMEX (11 years in operation):
→ Announcement: July 23, 2026
→ From August 26, 2026: no new positions can be opened (reduce/close only)
→ September 23, 2026, 04:00 UTC: full closure, all remaining positions force-closed

BitMart(~9 years in operation):
→ From August 26, 2026: all spot/futures trading halted
→ January 31, 2027: system permanently shut down

The crypto market is entering a strong consolidation phase — exchanges unable to compete long-term are choosing an orderly wind-down to protect themselves. This is the time to review your holdings, withdraw to personal wallets for safety, and stay alert to fake support announcements exploiting this news.

🚨 PI DEX IS ACTIVELY OPERATING ON THE TESTNET! 🔥

Just open Pi BlockExplorer, and you'll see a series of transactions appearing continuously with names like Manage Buy Offer, Liquidity Pool Deposit, Path Payment... These are all core functions of a decentralized exchange (DEX).

To put it simply:

🟣 🛒 Manage Buy Offer
It's like posting an ad: "Anyone selling tokens at this price, I'll buy!"

The order will wait on the system until someone accepts the offer.

🟣 💧 Liquidity Pool Deposit
It's like contributing capital to open a currency exchange booth. You put two types of assets into a pool so others can trade them, and in return, you have the opportunity to receive fees from those transactions.

🟣 💸 Path Payment Strict Send
You simply say: "I only send this exact amount of Pi."

The blockchain will automatically find a way to convert it into various tokens to send to the recipient.

🟣 🎯 Path Payment Strict Receive
Conversely, you request: "The recipient must receive this exact amount of tokens."

The blockchain will automatically calculate and find the appropriate transaction path to fulfill the request.

📌 What's noteworthy?

These operations are no longer simple Pi transfer transactions.

These are common functionalities found in DeFi ecosystems:

✅ Order Book
✅ Liquidity Pool
✅ Multi-hop Swap
✅ Smart Payment across multiple asset classes (Path Payment)

In other words, the Testnet is being used to test the crucial pieces of a decentralized trading ecosystem.

In the crypto world, the market fluctuates wildly, rising and falling unpredictably. To avoid losses without the hassle of withdrawing cash from banks, people are forced to use stablecoins (cryptocurrencies pegged to the US dollar, like USDT).

Previously, CZ viewed these coins as short-term, thinking they were just a temporary solution for fun, not a sustainable one. Unexpectedly, over time, stablecoins have become the lifeblood of the entire cryptocurrency market. Buying and selling, transferring funds between exchanges, and holding money during market downturns all rely on them.

Furthermore, although Binance once had its own BUSD, it was later heavily targeted by US regulators and forced to shut down, while competitors like Tether (USDT) have flourished, dominating the global market. So when CZ mentioned "missing out on stablecoins," he meant that he regretted not recognizing their enormous potential earlier and focusing his efforts on seizing a dominant position sooner, only to now watch others grab the lucrative pie and feel deeply regretful!

🔥👀 Seeing the "sharks" managing over $30 trillion, like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs, all pouring their resources into supporting the Clarity Act, shows that the crypto game is entering a completely new phase.

When these traditional giants officially voiced their support before the August recess, it proves they are eager for the cryptocurrency market to have a clear legal framework to facilitate the investment of massive capital.

It's no longer just about small-scale trading; the backing from these giants holding enormous assets creates immense pressure to accelerate the process of market transparency.

Even though the Senate agenda might still have some bumps in the road or political debates before the recess, once these "big players" join forces, the trend of legalization and bringing large sums of money into crypto is unlikely to reverse. The market is sure to see many more noteworthy changes in the near future!

The WEMIX blockchain game ecosystem in South Korea has just suffered a major blow. Hackers infiltrated the system and exploited a vulnerability in its smart contract to arbitrarily "print" tokens worth approximately $6.25 million and then disappear.

Now, the project team is scrambling, coordinating with exchanges, security companies, and even law enforcement to track the funds and find ways to prevent further loss. In short, they're having a huge headache dealing with this!

FRUSTRATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES ON PI CORE TEAM'S SILENCE

dissects the frustration of an analyst when the Pi Core Team (CT) chooses "silence is golden," ignoring the community's frantic debates over Mainnet or the 314k GCV, unlike other projects that always rush to put out fires and provide explanations.

1. The Analyst's Helplessness

* The community constantly needs clear answers to ease their confusion, but the founding team chooses to stay hidden, coldly ignoring short-term public pressure.

2. Decoding the Silence: A Filter or Abandonment?

* Perhaps this is an extreme strategy to deliberately filter out the impatient, keeping only those with a long-term vision.
* However, this prolonged silence also pushes millions of Pioneers to navigate on their own, making them more vulnerable to fake news and murky dApps.

3. Suspicions of a "Hidden Force" Behind the Curtain

* Looking at how they manage a massive global KYC system and persistently handle international regulatory pressure, it's hard to believe this is just an ordinary group of software developers.

* It is very likely backed by major financial tycoons or high-level macro/political strategies. They are playing a global game, focusing solely on the final objective, unbothered by short-term market noise.

A Final Word for Pioneers

If you play a big game, you must accept the giant's rules. Stop waiting for instant, convenient answers from the CT—keep a cool head and focus on the real value of the ecosystem!

⚠️❌ BITMART EXCHANGE OFFICIALLY CLOSES ALL OPERATIONS!

The market is undergoing a severe purge this time, guys! In less than a week, a second exchange has closed down. BitMart has just officially announced its platform dissolution roadmap:

From July 26, 2026: New registrations, deposits, and new order openings are suspended. Futures orders will be reduced to "Reduce-Only" mode.

August 26, 2026: Spot, Futures, Staking, and Earn product trading will be completely terminated.

January 31, 2027: The entire system will be permanently closed.

🚨 Extremely important note for those holding assets on the exchange:
If you still have assets on the exchange, withdraw them immediately! Don't wait until it's too late. As the deadline approaches, withdrawals will be subject to stricter KYC verification and rigorous risk checks. Be especially wary of fake links or scammers impersonating support to demand fees for "unlocking" your account!

🚨👀 Looking at how tech giants are unanimously keeping AI models open for startups and developers to freely create, it's exactly like the spirit of building the Pi Network ecosystem through platforms like Pi App Studio.

Breaking the monopoly: Instead of letting technology and data be concentrated in the hands of a few central giants, both trends aim to directly empower the community and independent developers.

The power of openness: Just like open-source AI models allow everyone to download, customize, and optimize them according to their needs, Pi App Studio also creates a playground for developers to build real-world applications that directly serve millions of users in the network.
