Pi Network shows early signs of price recovery as Ad Network access expands to all ecosystem applications

The Pi Network Ad Network is now accessible to all dApps within the ecosystem, offering developers a fresh revenue stream through in-app advertising, as short-term sentiment concerning PI coin begins to evolve.

Pi Network (PI) has officially made its Ad Network available to all applications listed in the ecosystem. This allows developers with apps featured on the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface to apply for ad integration and start generating income directly in PI coin. By facilitating Pi-based advertising transactions, a circular economy is established: advertisers use PI to connect with users, and developers earn PI in return for user interactions. The Pi Ad Network was first tested with five community applications in 2024.

This advancement arrives shortly after another significant update. Just days prior to this announcement, Pi Network formed an integration with Chainlink (LINK), a decentralized oracle provider.

Implications for PI Price

These two developments collectively indicate a transition from speculative mining to tangible adoption.

The integration with Chainlink positions Pi Network to support applications that require precise, real-time data, such as DeFi applications, prediction markets, and blockchain games. As new apps are created, the demand for Pi is expected to rise, as users will need PI to engage with these applications. For example, if DeFi applications are established on the Pi Network, activities such as lending, staking, trading, and liquidity protocols will necessitate users to utilize or deposit PI, which would decrease the circulating supply, thereby creating scarcity and enhancing the token’s value.

Furthermore, the Ad Network amplifies this momentum. As more applications are developed, creators can earn not only from their services but also by displaying ads. Advertisers will need to purchase PI to fund these ads, which increases the demand for the token and enhances its utility throughout the ecosystem.

The daily chart is already indicating early signs of a potential trend reversal following an extended downtrend. Most notably, the PI price is trying to stabilize and rise above critical moving averages.

What’s particularly promising is that the PI price is currently just beneath the 21-day Exponential Moving Average, set at $0.7569, and has managed to rise above the 20-day Simple Moving Average, which is at $0.6793. This crossover, with the price exceeding the SMA, suggests that short-term sentiment is beginning to change.
