The Pi Network price has remained flat in the past 24 hours, holding to $0.5917 as the cryptocurrency market loses 2.5% today. PI remains down by 4% in a week and by 8% in a month, with the altcoin also sitting on an 80% decline since reaching an all-time high of $2.99 on February 26. While the token has performed disappointingly since this peak, recent news has seemingly turned more positive for Pi Network, with its community celebrating a “collaboration” between the platform and French multinational bank BNP Paribas. However, a quick dive into the details reveals that BNP Paribas has confirmed no such collaboration at its end, and that the partnership actually amounts to little more than a Pi Network API that could be usable in the hypothetical event of a deal between the two parties. It’s therefore unlikely that this will have a big impact on PI’s price prediction for the longer term, which remains uncertain given the lack of wider exchange support. Pi Network Price Prediction: Can BNP Paribas Partnership Trigger the $10 Rally? This piece of ‘news’ stems from a post on X by Pi Coin Magazine, which has all of 282 followers. This post describes two separate things, but presents them in such a vague and misleading way as to suggest they’re somehow related. Firstly, it talks about the digital payment systems which BNP Paribas has been developing and rolling out in recent months, with BNP Paribas’s page on these products actually making no mention of Pi Network, at all.

Yet the thing is, even though Pi Network developers have prepared an API for integration with BNP Paribas, the latter has provided no signal whatsoever that it will ever enter into a partnership with Pi Network. In fact, a GitHub repository shows that developers have prepared similar APIs for a wide variety of financial service firms, including Barclays, Apple Pay, PayPal, Adyen, and many others. Of course, such APIs do not mean that Pi Network has entered into a partnership with Apple or PayPal, and the same goes for BNP Paribas. This fact may help explain why the Pi Network price has traded sideways today, with momentum cooling after brief signs of recovery earlier this week. The RSI has slipped just below 50 again, indicating neutral sentiment, while the 30-period moving average continues to lag beneath the 200-period level – a structure typical of consolidation before a potential move. Despite the buzz surrounding Pi’s banking ambitions, the lack of confirmation from key institutions has kept price action muted for now. Still, if further developments emerge or real traction is gained, Pi could break out of its current range and make a run toward $1 later this summer. And if momentum accelerates on the back of real adoption, a $10 target could quickly come back into focus. This New Presale Altcoin Could Outpace PI with Massive Breakout Potential Given that PI lacks any real adoption news (at least for now), many traders might prefer to look at alternatives, with several presale tokens looking like they could rally big soon. One of these is MIND of Pepe (MIND) , an ERC-20 cryptocurrency that has raised $8.7 million in its soon-to-be-ending sale. $MIND is almost upon us In just under 30 days the pre-sale phase of Mind of Pepe will end. Are you prepared to Enter the $MIND ? https://t.co/YQZ9DDOeVb pic.twitter.com/3IFT7oh5I4 — MIND of Pepe (@MINDofPepe) May 1, 2025 With its sale ending in 26 days, MIND of Pepe has proven highly popular because it will launch an autonomous AI agent. MIND of Pepe’s platform will scan masses of social and market data to produce market analysis and advice, while also using big data to identify trends it will tap into via its self-generated tokens. On top of this, its AI agent will use its insight into market trends to generate its own meme tokens, which will list on exchanges and potentially surge by themselves. As its native token, MIND is exciting because it’s the only way of gaining access to its market analysis, while it will also grant early access to the tokens it creates, before they list. MIND could therefore be one of the big new tokens of 2025, with investors able to buy it before listing by going to the MIND of Pepe website . MIND is currently selling at its final presale price of $0.0037515, although judging by its follower count on X , it could rally well beyond this level once it lists.
