Pi Network may soon step into the regulated tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market, supported by the Stellar Development Foundation’s (SDF) recent decision to join the ERC-3643 Association. This move could open access to borderless, regulated asset markets for networks built on Stellar’s framework, including Pi Network.
The ERC-3643 standard, created by Tokeny, is designed for “permissioned tokens” that integrate compliance rules directly into their code. These rules ensure that only verified participants can hold or trade the assets, aligning with strict global regulations. By adopting this standard, SDF aims to accelerate the tokenization of RWAs on Stellar, collaborating with asset issuers, institutions, and blockchain developers to bring compliant digital assets into its ecosystem.
Stellar’s membership in the association positions it to drive adoption of regulated blockchain-based assets, enabling institutional-level participation. This strategic alignment could make Pi Network an indirect beneficiary of the infrastructure upgrades and partnerships that follow.
A major part of SDF’s plan focuses on building cross-chain interoperability between Stellar and Ethereum. This would allow compliant RWAs to move seamlessly across blockchains, vastly expanding their accessibility and market reach. For Pi Network, which uses Stellar’s framework, this capability could give users the ability to interact with new asset classes while maintaining compliance with international regulations.
Such interoperability could also make Pi Network more attractive to corporate partners and developers seeking secure, regulation-ready blockchain solutions.
This RWA development arrives ahead of Stellar’s Protocol 23 release. The update is expected to introduce features that enable Pi Network to run decentralized applications from its Pi AI App Studio. By integrating dApps, Pi Network could diversify its ecosystem and attract projects beyond mobile mining, strengthening its role in the Web3 landscape.
The combination of cross-chain capabilities and upgraded smart contract support could open the door to advanced use cases, from tokenized securities to compliant cross-border payments.
Earlier this month, Pi Network committed $20 million to AI-powered humanoid robotics, signaling a push into emerging technology sectors. This investment complements its blockchain expansion efforts, suggesting a long-term plan to diversify both its technology stack and business use cases.
Additionally, the network has launched a 200% token lock-up incentive. This initiative aims to enhance network integrity by encouraging long-term holding and reducing token circulation. If widely adopted, it could help stabilize the ecosystem while supporting future adoption and growth.
Pi Network continues to face pressure from large token unlocks, which increase available supply. However, according to crypto commentator Victor Nita, these monthly unlocks are expected to shrink significantly by 2028. The goal is to gradually increase token scarcity, a factor that could influence long-term market performance if demand strengthens.
Nita projected that with strong adoption, strategic corporate partnerships, and real-world utility, Pi could see substantial valuation increases over time. His long-term scenarios point to potential milestones in the coming years, assuming the network executes on its technical and business expansion plans.
Pi Network’s price has remained under a clear downward trend since mid-June, with a descending trendline repeatedly halting any rally attempts. Every time the price tried to break above this line, sellers stepped in and pushed it lower. This trendline acts like a ceiling, preventing the market from gaining enough strength for a sustained recovery.
The 50-period EMA on the 4-hour chart has been a key technical level. It is currently sitting near 0.3892 and has acted as a dynamic resistance. Each time the price approached or moved slightly above the EMA, it struggled to hold the gains. This behavior shows that sellers are still in control and that buyers are unable to sustain upward momentum.
Volume patterns further confirm this weakness. Spikes in volume tend to occur during sharp declines, meaning sell-offs are happening with more conviction than buying moves. In contrast, rallies are supported by lower volume, which often signals a lack of strong buying interest.
Over the past few days, the price made a small recovery but once again faced rejection near the EMA. With the market still trading under the descending trendline and the EMA acting as resistance, sentiment remains bearish. Until buyers can push through these barriers with stronger volume, the market is likely to stay in consolidation below the downtrend line.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Pi Network PI/USD on the 4-hour chart currently shows a reading near 40.57, which places it just above the oversold threshold but still in a weaker momentum zone. Over the past month, the RSI has swung sharply between extremes, moving above 80 during aggressive rallies and below 20 during steep sell-offs. These wide oscillations reflect high volatility in market sentiment.
Recently, the RSI crossed below its moving average line near the 48.76 level, signaling a loss of short-term bullish momentum. This shift happened after the RSI failed to sustain higher levels during the early August rebound. The drop toward the 40 area suggests that sellers have regained control, but the indicator is not yet in deep oversold territory, meaning there could still be room for further downside before a potential reversal.
Throughout the chart, strong rallies have typically occurred when the RSI dipped into the oversold range and then crossed back above its average. However, the latest pattern shows a series of lower highs in the RSI, mirroring the broader downtrend in price. This alignment between momentum loss and price weakness reinforces the bearish outlook unless buying pressure increases enough to lift the RSI back above its average and into a stronger zone.
