The Pi Network team clarified their intentions regarding the integration of stablecoins while keeping the PI token as the primary cryptocurrency. In an update published this week, the team mentioned that stablecoins could support use cases where predictable pricing is particularly important, including commerce, payments, and accounting. However, their role will be intentionally narrower than that of the native PI token, which should remain the main digital asset in all network processes. It was previously reported that Pi Network is exploring the possibility of entering the stablecoin market through reward programs for Pioneers and broader utility of OUSD through a new partnership with Open Standard, which includes more than 200 participants from finance, payments, technology, and cryptocurrency sectors.
Additionally, Pi explained that stablecoins could bring more economic activity within its ecosystem, rather than forcing users to rely on external infrastructure. Nevertheless, the team added that they will approach the implementation with caution, as they are currently working on principles that should govern future integrations, emphasizing compliance with regulations as a priority. The core team has not confirmed that OUSD is already integrated into the Pi Mainnet. At present, there is no confirmed launch date or details about the reward program for Pioneers.
The market correction in recent days has not spared Pi. The token traded above $0.09 but lost this support level on October 7, falling to $0.078—a three-month low. Despite this, the token has slightly recovered and is currently trading above $0.081, with its market capitalization reduced to $915 million, making it the 69th largest cryptocurrency by this measure.
