Pi Coin Rises Amid App Studio Milestone, Long-Term Success Relies on Strategic Overhaul
Pi Network’s Pi App Studio has gained significant traction, but despite recent price gains, experts warn that Pi Coin’s future depends on key strategic shifts, such as a full mainnet launch and improved user trust.
The Pi Network has achieved a significant milestone, with over 12,000 applications created on its newly launched Pi App Studio platform in less than two weeks.
This achievement coincides with a roughly 3% increase in the price of Pi Coin (PI) over the past day. However, an expert warns that the PI may face challenges ahead unless the team implements some major changes.
Pi Network’s Pi App Studio Sees Explosive Growth
The Pi Core Team unveiled the no-code app development tool on Pi2Day. Pi App Studio leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enable users, regardless of technical expertise, to design decentralized applications (dApps) by simply inputting prompts.
This ease of use has made it popular among users, as a prominent Pioneer, Dr Altcoin, highlighted recently.
“The new Pi App submissions for the AI App Studio have surpassed 12,000!” the user posted.
Dr. Altcoin suggested that Pi Network has the potential to become the largest crypto project in history, even if only half of the submitted dApps are fully functional and approved. He pointed to several factors driving this potential.
These include Pi Network’s large KYC-verified user base, broad global reach in over 200 countries and regions, and distinctive requirement for KYB approval from centralized exchanges and businesses using Pi. Additionally, Pi Network leads the industry with the highest number of community-developed dApps.
“All of this will organically and significantly boost the price of Pi in the years ahead,” the Pioneer noted.
What Does Pi Coin Price Need to Recover?
Meanwhile, PI has shown signs of recovery. BeInCrypto data showed that the price rose 2.98% over the past day. At press time, Pi Coin’s trading price was $0.47.

However, the uptick is not due to Pi App Studio’s popularity but rather a market-wide rally driven by Bitcoin’s new record high. Furthermore, the small gains seem hardly enough to bring PI out of its nearly two-month-long slump.
BeInCrypto reported previously that despite several ecosystem developments, the price has failed to reverse its downtrend. Misleading claims, user disappointment, and rising exchange reserves have further weakened the case for a bullish rally.
Pi Coin’s price is just 16% away from its all-time low, and an expert claimed that it is ‘doomed to collapse below $0.40.’ Nevertheless, the Pioneer outlined several actions the team can take to save this sinking ship.
“If PCT (Pi Core Team) implements just 2 of the following 11 actions, the community can regain confidence, and the price can steadily rise again,” Pi Barter Mall stated.
Some of the strategies outlined include releasing a clear mainnet launch timeline, introducing DAO governance, and implementing token burn and buy-back programs. The user also proposes restarting mining rewards, providing incentives, launching liquidity pools, lending, staking, and cross-chain compatibility.
Furthermore, Pi Barter Mall stressed the importance of restoring user trust by sharing team holdings and addressing previous KYC restrictions.
“Without real action, Pi will lose the final layer of trust. But if PCT chooses the right path, we could witness a historic reversal,” the user concluded.
Previously, Ray Youssef, CEO of NoOnes, shared a similar perspective on Pi Network’s future. He emphasized that its success hinges on the team’s ability to move beyond the hype and focus on execution. The executive highlighted the importance of transitioning to an open mainnet, allowing free trading on public blockchains.
Youssef noted that this shift would enable price discovery and greater participation, key elements for the network’s long-term growth and sustainability.
“For Pi to sustainably reach or exceed $10 in a real market, it will need to have a full mainnet launch with open transfers, listings on high liquidity exchanges, a real economic layer, where people use Pi to buy, sell, or pay for services, and controlled inflation to ensure newly unlocked tokens don’t flood the market,” Youssef told BeInCrypto.
Thus, while the team continues to roll out new apps and updates, it still needs to go beyond these surface-level improvements and focus on the fundamentals to drive real price rally and sustainable growth for the network.

Hashrate orders are booming, why is "AI trading" falling out of favor? JPMorgan reveals the time lag between AI investment and productivity realization
Joseph Lupton from the JP Morgan Global Economic Research Team pointed out in a research report on November 10 that recent improvements in labor productivity have been driven more by capital deepening and increased intensity of factor utilization. The broad efficiency gains from AI, resulting from process reconstruction, data integration, and organizational adjustments, will still take time to materialize. This means orders for chips, servers, and electrical equipment may grow first, but continuous investment returns for computing power operators and end users may not arrive at the same pace.
AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
