Can Pi Network’s Dual-Price System Really Work? An In-Depth Look at GCV vs Exchange Prices

As the Pi Network continues to evolve, an important question is surfacing among Pioneers and crypto enthusiasts alike:
Can a dual-price system for Pi Coin actually work one price inside the Pi ecosystem (e.g., $314,159) and another price on exchanges (e.g., $0.63)?

It might sound impossible at first, but when examined closely, this system may not only be functional it might be strategic. Here’s how and why.

🔍 Understanding the Dual-Price System

At the heart of the current debate is the Global Consensus Value (GCV) a community-driven valuation for Pi Coin pegged at $314,159 per 𝛑, inspired by Pi’s mathematical identity. Simultaneously, early IOU trading and listings on crypto exchanges reflect a much lower market price (currently hovering around $0.63).

This creates a dual economy:

Ecosystem Use. Exchange Use

Pi Network apps, External crypto
smart contracts, trading platforms
and marketplaces. Price: ~$0.63 per 𝛑 (market-driven)
Price: $314,159
per 𝛑 (GCV)

🔄 How It Works in Practice

1. Separate Use Cases
•Inside the Pi Ecosystem, Pi is treated as a high-value currency. Apps, goods, and services price in GCV.
•On Exchanges, Pi is just another altcoin, traded on speculation and open-market rules.

2. Tiered Coin Flow
•Movement between the ecosystem and exchanges is restricted or controlled, preventing direct 1:1 conversion between low-market Pi and high-value ecosystem Pi.
•This is reinforced through wallet lock-ups, KYC-based controls, and manual or smart-contract-mediated bridges.

Crypto cycle is playing out ‘spookily similar’ to 2017: Raoul Pal

The current crypto market is mirroring the pattern seen in 2017 when Bitcoin posted a steady uptrend throughout the year before skyrocketing in December, says crypto research platform Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal.

“It’s spookily similar to 2017,” Pal said in a video on Thursday. Pal said he is starting to forecast a longer crypto cycle this time around given that the business cycle score — a macroeconomic model he uses to track where the global economy is in the broader cycle — is “still below 50” and it generally “takes a while to climb up.”

However, Pal speculated that the weakening US dollar could indicate that the current crypto cycle is still far from reaching its peak.

Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates, Significantly Impacting the Crypto Market

On June 19, the Middle East plunged into turmoil as Iran and Israel continued to bomb each other, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties and pushing the region to the brink of full-scale war. The situation intensified when U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of military intervention, stating, “I may act, or I may not.” Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei responded firmly, warning that the U.S. would face “unimaginable consequences” if it intervened in the conflict.

For the first time in decades, Iran launched missiles directly at Israel, killing more than 20 civilians. Israel retaliated strongly, claiming to have destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities and ballistic weapon stockpiles, while intercepting multiple UAVs from the adversary. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted, “We will gradually eliminate the threat from Iran.”

Chaos engulfed Tehran as thousands of residents fled the city. Amid this backdrop, nuclear negotiations between Iran and Europe were scheduled to take place today (June 20) in Switzerland, but the prospects for reconciliation remain extremely fragile. Experts warn that if the U.S. officially enters the conflict, the violence could spiral out of regional control, leading to global repercussions similar to previous Gulf wars.

Crypto Market Shakes Amid Crisis

The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East threaten to cause significant volatility in the cryptocurrency market. Investors are inclined to shift toward safe-haven assets like gold and stablecoins, while Bitcoin and altcoins face the risk of being sold off to realize profits or cut losses.

Overall Summary:

#USNationalDebt
The U.S. national debt currently stands at over $36.2 trillion, representing the total accumulated borrowing by the federal government. This figure is approximately 122% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is growing by about $1 trillion every three months.
The debt arises from persistent budget deficits, where government spending exceeds revenue. Major contributing factors include increased spending on social programs, defense, responses to economic crises like the 2008 recession and COVID-19, and tax cuts. A significant portion of the debt is held domestically by individuals, private entities, and government agencies, while foreign investors also hold a substantial share.
The rising debt raises concerns about higher interest payments, potential crowding out of private investment, and long-term economic stability.

US crypto ETF approval odds surge to ‘90% or higher’ — Bloomberg analysts

The likelihood of US regulators approving a wave of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is now a near certainty, signaling a continued pro-crypto shift at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to Bloomberg analysts Erich Balchunas and James Seyffart.

In a social media post on Friday, Seffart said he and Balchunas have raised their odds for the vast majority of crypto ETF approvals to “90% or higher,” citing “very positive” engagement from the SEC.

The analysts also suggested that the SEC “likely” views cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin LTC $83.96, Solana SOL $140.38, XRP XRP $2.13, and Dogecoin DOGE $0.1631
as commodities — a designation that would place them outside of its immediate jurisdiction.

Thai SEC opens consultation period for token issuance rules

Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has opened a period of consultation for feedback on rules that would allow exchanges or individuals connected to an exchange to issue utility tokens, according to a Friday statement.

Under the proposed rules, exchanges would have to disclose the names of anyone associated with the token issuers, which would assist the SEC in monitoring for signs of insider trading. The plan is part of Thailand’s efforts to establish a regulatory framework for the crypto industry.

The country announced in May plans to allow tourists to spend crypto via credit cards, just a few days before blocking crypto exchanges OKX and Bybit in the country over concerns about unlicensed operations and money laundering. A month later, it announced a waiver on capital gains tax on crypto sales made through licensed crypto service providers.

CoinMarketCap has 'identified and removed' malicious wallet scam

CoinMarketCap, a price-tracking website for cryptocurrencies, has reportedly removed a malicious popup notification on its website prompting users to verify their cryptocurrency wallets, according to a post on its official X account.

“We’ve identified and removed the malicious code from our site,” CoinMarketCap said in a post on Friday.

CoinMarketCap has not finished investigating the issue

“Our team is continuing to investigate and taking steps to strengthen our security,” it added.

The update came less than three hours after CoinMarketCap publicly addressed the malicious notification amid multiple reports spreading on social media.

“We’re aware that a malicious popup prompting users to “Verify Wallet” has appeared on our site,” CoinMarketCap said at the time.

Many crypto users on X said the malicious popup appeared to be a phishing scam, a crypto scam that involves tricking victims into giving up their private keys or personal information. Hackers often hijack trusted accounts or create fake ones to post phishing links that appear to be legitimate.

#SwingTradingStrategy
SwingTradingStrategy focuses on capturing short to medium-term price movements ("swings") in financial markets, typically holding positions for a few days to several weeks. Unlike day traders who close positions daily, swing traders aim for larger price shifts within a broader trend.
Common strategies involve identifying key support and resistance levels, using technical indicators like moving averages (MA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to spot entry and exit points. Breakout and retracement strategies are also popular, where traders enter positions when prices break out of a range or temporarily pull back within a trend. Risk management, including stop-loss orders, is crucial for mitigating potential losses in this dynamic trading style.

#XSuperApp
XSuperApp refers to Elon Musk's ambitious vision to transform the platform X (formerly Twitter) into an "everything app," akin to China's WeChat. This goes beyond traditional social media, aiming to integrate a vast array of services under one roof.
Key features planned include financial services like payments, investment, and trading, potentially with an X Money wallet and even branded debit/credit cards through partnerships (e.g., Visa). The goal is to create a seamless digital ecosystem where users can handle social interactions, financial transactions, e-commerce, and more, all within a single application. This move aims to diversify X's revenue streams and increase user engagement by becoming an indispensable part of daily digital life.
