For the first time, OKX has made Pi available to millions of people in the US through its platform, adding another access point to the Pi ecosystem for US users.
Pi continues to expand its global network of Pioneers and partners, and strengthen ecosystem participation, utility, and real user adoption across the world.
More users. More usage. Stronger network
A pivotal week in Washington.
The CLARITY Act is one vote away from clearing the Senate Banking Committee, positioning the U.S. to lead the next era of global finance.
Tomorrow could be a meaningful step toward bringing the world's financial system onchain.
Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami on the panel, “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself).”
The discussion focused on one of the most urgent challenges in the AI era: how to maintain trust and verify real human identity as AI systems become capable of generating convincing bots, profiles, and interactions at scale.

When tokenized economies, real world assets, and global payments fully migrate to digital rails, value won’t be scattered, it’ll concentrate, just as it did when the dollar became the world’s reserve currency.
XRP was architected to sit at the center of that consolidation as the neutral bridge asset for global liquidity and settlement.
That’s why the price must be significantly higher.
For XRP to efficiently handle trillions in daily cross-border value flows without massive slippage and market disruption, its unit price needs to be high enough that only a small number of tokens are required to move enormous amounts of money.
So a higher price creates the necessary depth and efficiency for institutional-scale liquidity.
That’s liquidity mathematics under constrained supply and exploding demand. At $5 or even $50, XRP can’t achieve its own objective to function as the primary settlement layer for a tokenized global economy.
The math will demand a much higher price for it to operate at the scale it was designed for.
That’s the real utility thesis most people still don’t seem to understand. At this point, it’s clear most people won’t understand it until it’s too late.
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami in her session, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility.”
Dr. Fan shared how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and a globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and businesses in the AI era.
Her talk built on a central challenge in the broader crypto industry: the frequent misalignment between token design and real innovation. While tokens in the industry have often been used primarily as capital-raising tools or quick exits, Dr. Fan discussed Pi’s approach to treat tokens as tools that can support growth, engagement, and long-term utility.
Pi’s approach to ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms focuses on tokens for user acquisition and integrating token design into the product innovation process. By using tokens to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences, this approach connects token design more directly to utility and product development.
More broadly, Dr. Fan’s talk invited discussion on how blockchain can help shape AI-era business models, financial literacy, ownership, and socioeconomic participation. As AI lowers the barrier to building, the focus shifts toward something harder to replicate: real users, real participation, and trusted human input at scale.

The Pi Founders are featured speakers at Consensus 2026 in Miami this week.
Chengdiao Fan will speak on Wednesday, May 6 (11:15–11:35 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) on “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” exploring how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models.
Nicolas Kokkalis will join a panel on Thursday, May 7 (10:15–10:45 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) titled “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” exploring how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users.
Together, these sessions highlight Pi’s approach to the AI era: supporting utility-driven products and sustainable business models through blockchain, verified identity, and a globally engaged network, while enabling global identity verification and providing authenticity solutions through Pi’s native KYC solution.
See you there, Pioneers!
Jake Claver @beyond_broke just doubled down: $1,200–$2,500 $XRP by end of 2026. Even a tenth of that ($150–$250) would be phenomenal. We don't make predictions on this channel — we report them. But the conviction stacking up right now? Wild and worth watching
Starting today, @Rakuten_Wallet users in Japan can convert @Rakuten Points into XRP, spot trade in-app, and spend across 5M+ merchant locations. 🇯🇵
With 44 million Rakuten Pay users and $23B in loyalty points now redeemable for XRP, this is one of the largest retail deployments of $XRP as a payment method to date.
The banks built their entire empire by controlling how money moves.
The petrodollar let them sit in the middle of every transaction, set the rules, and profit from the massive friction they created.
XRP flips the script.
It’s neutral infrastructure for instant settlement. No middleman. It bridges any currency, any asset, any system in seconds.
Hold XRP and you stop being their customer. You become part of the protocol that powers the world.
The more value that flows through the network, the more valuable it becomes for those who own it.
Smart money isn’t chasing price. They’re owning the rails.

The Petrodollar Era has officially ended. What comes next is a new neutral bridge asset for global trade and settlement.
XRP is uniquely positioned to connect the old financial system to the emerging multipolar world as de-dollarization accelerates.

🚀 wXRP is now live on @solana, enabled by @Hex_Trust and @LayerZero_Core.
Growing demand for $XRP is driving liquidity cross-chain—opening new paths across ecosystems and expanding the overall market.
THIS SHIB CITY WILL RISE
It’s living on blockchain!
Strong builders and real projects never fail—because their proof isn’t on an X account, it’s on the blockchain.
An ecosystem backed by hundreds of thousands doesn’t collapse in storms—it endures and wins.
Not because of a leader, but because of the people who believe.
Take SHIB.
Without it, we’re already a crowd of 140,000+ — a small town.
With SHIB, it’s a full-on capital city.
It may face challenges, but it’s too alive to ever fail.
Be a good human.
Keep a strong mindset.
And remember—what you wish for others will always find its way back to you.
Real value doesn’t follow hype, it follows adoption. XRP is years ahead of the narrative and being strategically suppressed until the global settlement infrastructure is fully in place.
Announcing our partnership with #KyoboLifeInsurance—one of Korea's largest and most established life insurance companies—to explore on-chain financial infrastructure using Ripple Custody: https://t.co/mUUp32YsLH
Kyobo becomes the first Tier 1 Korean insurer to take this step, bringing government bond settlement closer to real-time.
This is what institutional digital asset adoption looks like.
