Pi Network News Today: Analyst Reveals Strategy Behind Massive GCV vs Market Price Gap

The post Pi Network News Today: Analyst Reveals Strategy Behind Massive GCV vs Market Price Gap appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Pi Network’s one of the biggest challenges currently is the huge gap between its Global Consensus Value (GCV) and the real market price. While GCV values 1 Pi at a whopping $314,159, the actual market price is only around $1 or less. 

Pi Network stands out with its dual value system, but this unique setup is also raising concerns over its utility, transparency and growth potential.

A Strategic Plan?

Analyst Mr Spock belives that this may be part of a long-term strategic plan rather than a flaw. He says that this creates two separate economies – Inside the Pi ecosystem, apps and services use the high GCV price, and outside, on exchanges, Pi trades like a regular altcoin at market prices. The system keeps these values separate using controls like wallet locks and KYC, creating two linked but distinct economies.

Analyst Notes Strengths and Risks of the Dual Value System 

He notes some key strengths of the dual value system like – it builds merchant trust, creates stability for apps, and protects against market volatility. But he also warned of major risks. People might exploit this by buying cheap Pi from exchanges and spending it at the much higher GCV rate within the ecosystem. 

Having two very different prices for Pi can confuse users and make outsiders doubt the project. Also, Pi’s dual-value model survives on community trust. If users favor market prices over GCV, its relevance could quickly fade.

Can Pi Core Team Help?

In order to protect the system, he also suggested the Pi Core Team to take actions like limiting access to KYC-verified users and enforcing GCV through smart contracts. He also suggested Pi lock-ups to limit supply, and slowly close the price gap as real use increases.

Many pioneers in support of GCV note that smart contracts with GCV rates have been uploaded to GitHub, and communities in places like Thailand and Vietnam actively use the GCV in transactions. “This mission is alive because of all of us,” said Lumari, a committed Pioneer.

The analyst noted that the real value of Pi comes from trust, utility, and community, not just price charts. Pi coin has dropped over 60% in May. With an estimated supply of 100 billion coins, valuing each at GCV would make Pi worth over $31 quadrillion, that would be far more than the world’s entire GDP. But still the users don’t seem to budge.

Steady But Uneven Activity

Dr. Altcoin said in a recent YouTube video that 3.35 million Pi were moved to the mainnet in the last 24 hours, and 7.9 million Pi were unlocked today. This shows steady but uneven activity because of KYC delays and migration backlogs.

Pi is trading around $0.63, with a $4.63 billion market cap. In the short term, he expects Pi to trade between $0.618 and $0.641. If the price stays above $0.625, it could go up to $0.64. He says that how newly unlocked Pi is distributed, is key for price movement.
