Pi Network News: Expert Says Price Crashes Are Missing the Bigger Picture of What Pi Is Building

The post Pi Network News: Expert Says Price Crashes Are Missing the Bigger Picture of What Pi Is Building appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Pi Network has confirmed that its Mainnet is now upgraded to Protocol 20, preparing the network for future smart contract support. Node operators have been asked to update their systems, with another upgrade, Protocol 21, expected soon. 

The upgrade sets the base for smart contracts, which are needed for building decentralized apps and DeFi platforms. This shows Pi Network is slowly working toward adding more real use cases. 

However, these features are not live yet, and more updates are needed before users can fully access them.  

Analyst digs Beyond Price Moves

The main takeaway comes from Crypto analyst Dr. Altcoin, who believes the market is going through a major transition phase. 

According to him, crypto is no longer in an experimental stage. It is now starting to become part of real financial systems. He pointed to Kraken gaining access to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s payment infrastructure as a clear example of this shift.

This shows that crypto companies are no longer operating separately. Instead, they are beginning to connect directly with traditional finance.

Why Price Drops Don’t Tell the Full Story

Having said that, Pi price is currently trading at $0.1777, with a 24-hour trading volume of $35.32 million. The price has seen a slight dip of 0.27% in the past hour but is still up 2.03% over the last day. This shows ongoing community support for Pi. 

However, looking at the price scenario, the analyst addressed the common fear around price drops. He explained that if you understand what is being built, short-term declines should not create panic.

Instead, he sees this phase as part of a broader development cycle where infrastructure is being built in the background. Prices may not always reflect this progress immediately.

His view is simple: the market is still early, and those who understand this phase are in a better position.

Blockchain Is Expanding Beyond Crypto

Another important point he raised is how blockchain is starting to connect with other technologies. AI and robotics are slowly becoming part of this space, while stablecoins are turning into practical tools for payments.

This shows that crypto is moving closer to real-world usage rather than just trading activity.

Focus on Projects With Real Utility

He further stressed that long-term value will come from projects that are creating real use cases, growing their user base, and working on global adoption.

This shifts the focus away from hype and toward projects that are actually building useful systems. In this context, Pi Network’s upgrade shows that development is continuing. The move toward smart contracts fits into the bigger change where projects are working toward real utility.
