Pi Network and the True Forex Community: Redefining Global Finance

Pi Network has grown from a blockchain project into a financial ecosystem with over 75 million users worldwide. Its newest initiative the True Forex Community positions Pi as a bridge between decentralized technology and traditional finance, offering users tools for trading, growth, and cross-border participation.

What Is the True Forex Community?

The True Forex Community is a user-driven movement within Pi Network that integrates Picoin into global financial flows. It provides tools for decentralized trading, foreign exchange, and cross-border payments all without banks or brokers. By relying on smart contracts, biometric verification, and decentralized governance, the system allows secure, peer-to-peer value exchange in line with Pi’s vision of accessible, people-centered finance.

Technical Infrastructure for Integration

On September 3, Pi released Protocol v23.01 on Stellar-Core, introducing:

• Smart contracts via Soroban
• Parallel processing for scalability
• Decentralized KYC aligned with ERC-3643
• Biometric authentication with Passkey
• Linux Node expansion for institutions

These upgrades create the backbone for forex-style applications. Verified identity ensures compliance, while smart contracts manage exchange rates and settlement securely.

Picoin: Utility and Stability

Picoin is earned through verified participation, not speculation. Its capped supply and inflation-resistant model make it suitable for daily transactions. In September, the mining rate dropped to 0.0027405 Pi/hour, adding scarcity. Already used for payments and dApps, Picoin now gains additional relevance through forex-style exchanges.

Institutional Recognition and Market Growth

Pi’s scale and infrastructure have attracted significant institutional interest. Sweden’s Valour Pi ETP has amassed nearly $947M in assets, while Pi has been listed on Swapfone (BTCC) in the U.S. and integrated with Onramp Money in 60+ countries, increasing fiat accessibility and liquidity.

Developer Momentum

The Pi Hackathon 2025 has spurred over 100 decentralized apps, from ID services to educational platforms. Tools like Pi App Studio and PiOS support seamless integration with Pi Wallet and Map of Pi. Within this ecosystem, forex-style apps are emerging to simulate swaps, track exchange rates, and execute trades—early steps toward fully decentralized financial platforms.

Token Flow and Price Dynamics

September’s release of 159.5M tokens half the August volume helped control selling pressure. With Picoin trading between $0.33–$0.40, analysts see potential upside toward $0.42–$0.45 if support levels hold. This measured release strategy reflects Pi’s focus on stability and sustainability.

Challenges to Address

Ongoing concerns include governance centralization, volatility, and scaling. With 82.8% of supply under Core Team control, decentralization remains a work in progress. However, with the PiOS codebase 90% complete and DAO frameworks under testing, the network is preparing for more community-driven decision-making.

What’s Next

Pi Network’s roadmap highlights:

• Full deployment of Soroban smart contracts
• Expanded staking and DAO governance
• Launch of Pi-powered marketplaces and ID tools
• Growth of smart contract–based applications
• Potential listings on major exchanges
• Pilot programs for forex-style trading

Conclusion

The True Forex Community is turning Pi’s financial vision into practice. By integrating Picoin into cross-border exchange and trading systems, Pi Network is laying the foundation for a decentralized, inclusive financial future. For users, developers, and institutions, the message is clear: the next chapter of finance is participatory, and Pi Network is helping lead the way.
