Pi Network Token Surges 38% Amid AI Integration Rumors and Potential Google Partnership

Pi Network token spikes 38% on AI plans, Google partnership rumors

The price of Pi Network's token surged by 38% this week ahead of an expected announcement involving artificial intelligence, fueling speculation about a possible partnership with Google. The buzz started when Pi Network co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis appeared on a generative AI panel at Consensus 2025, sparking speculation about Pi's next move. On June 22, Pi Network posted on X that the company would provide answers on June 28 at an event called Pi2Day. The panel appearance of one of its co-founders and the follow-up post from Pi signaled that the company may be preparing to integrate artificial intelligence technology directly within its ecosystem. Since the post, the Pi Network (PI) token surged, peaking at $0.65 on June 25, up 38% from its June 22 low of $0.47. However, the token had dropped back to $0.57 at the time of writing. Following the PI token surge, social media users have been sharing their takes on what the AI announcement will be about. One X user said that the network is rumored to have a deal with Google AI. The user suggested that the star seen on a Pi Network announcement may be similar to the logo of Google's artificial intelligence arm. Another community member said the announcement could relate to another project called PiAI. While some speculate that the announcement will be big, others cautiously approach the news. A community member wrote that while some may be bullish for June 28, they should "lower their expectations" to avoid disappointment. Cointelegraph reached out to Pi Network for comments but did not get a response by publication. Meanwhile, another community member questioned Pi's value proposition. "I haven't noticed anything innovative, as other blockchains/projects have already done most of what they're doing," the user wrote, urging the community to ask questions and be critical of the project.

On May 15, the company launched a $100 million fund to invest in businesses and startups that would work to enhance the utility of its blockchain ecosystem. The team said that the investments will generally be denominated in US dollars. However, the project also seeks to use its native token to fund eligible projects.
