Pi Network’s native token, Pi Coin, is once again in the spotlight as it extends its impressive recovery streak, surging more than 30% over the past week.
The latest upswing follows growing market enthusiasm after reports confirmed that Pi Network has joined the ISO 20022 group, aligning itself with leading compliant digital assets such as Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM).
Pi Coin Targets Key Breakout Levels
After rebounding from the $0.19 area last week, Pi Coin continued to climb steadily, reaching above $0.28 in today’s session — its highest level since early September. The move represents an 11% gain in the last 24 hours and signals renewed confidence among traders.
Technical charts show that Pi has successfully broken out of its consolidation range, reclaiming momentum after multiple retests of the $0.23 support zone. This breakout confirms a short-term trend reversal and places the next major resistance around $0.36, where the price was last rejected in August. A sustained move above this level could open the door toward a broader mid-term rally.
Market analyst Devid James commented that the recent upward breakout highlights a strengthening price floor and expanding buying pressure, noting that the bullish structure could remain intact as long as Pi stays above $0.23.
ISO 20022 Alignment Strengthens Market Confidence
Beyond price action, Pi Network’s integration with the ISO 20022 standard has been a major catalyst behind its latest rally. The alignment places Pi alongside global financial messaging protocols already adopted by major banks and compliant cryptocurrencies such as XRP and Stellar.
This development enhances Pi Network’s potential for interoperability with traditional financial systems, paving the way for smoother cross-border transfers and improved regulatory compatibility. For investors, the move signals growing maturity and institutional readiness for Pi’s ecosystem.
Expanding Ecosystem and KYC Progress
The broader Pi Network ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly. In Q4 2025, the network is expected to implement the long-awaited Protocol 23 upgrade, which will focus on scalability improvements and faster transaction throughput.
Meanwhile, the project’s KYC expansion remains strong. Over 3.36 million additional Pioneers have completed full identity verification under the network’s revised system, while another 4.76 million previously tentative cases are now eligible for full KYC completion. The progress is expected to accelerate mainnet migration and overall ecosystem stability.
The Road Ahead
With its price regaining strength and institutional prospects improving, Pi Coin appears to be entering a more defined growth phase. Still, traders will be watching closely for confirmation above $0.36, a key breakout point that could determine whether Pi’s current momentum evolves into a full-fledged rally.
