Pi Network Rise Level: Launch of FruityPi Game Creates New Utility Boost

Pi Network is leveling up—in the literal sense. In a bold move towards expanding the utility of its native cryptocurrency, Pi Coin, the network has officially launched FruityPi, a gaming app aimed at enhancing user engagement and strengthening its digital economy. Announced by the Pi Core team, FruityPi marks an important milestone in the expansion of the Pi Network into the blockchain gaming space—a move that could reshape the trajectory and utility of this platform.

The game serves as a gateway to acceptance. FruityPi is not just another mobile game—but a strategic part of the evolving ecosystem of Pi Network. The game is designed to seamlessly integrate with the main Pi products, including Pi Coin, Pi Wallet, and Pi Ad Network, providing both users and developers with a streamlined experience that connects entertainment directly to the Pi economy. According to CoinGape, this integration allows developers to easily engage with the highly participatory Pi community, creating a fertile ground for user acquisition, in-game earnings, and real-world use cases for Pi Coin. With Pi Network boasting tens of millions of users worldwide, the potential reach of FruityPi—and future games built on its platform—is enormous. The Pi Core team emphasizes that the game provides an interesting and accessible way to demonstrate the real utility of Pi Coin, while also opening the door for developers to build on the platform without obstacles. They stated that FruityPi is just the beginning of what is to come. Supported by a $100 million ecosystem fund FruityPi launched immediately after another major initiative of Pi Network—Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million fund launched in early May 2025. According to MinePi reports, this fund is designed to support innovative projects and growing startups within the Pi ecosystem. As gaming becomes a part of the core growth strategy, Pi Network Ventures can play a crucial role in funding new interactive applications, play-to-earn mechanisms, and digital experiences that amplify the use of Pi Coin beyond speculative boundaries. Price pressure and market sentiment Despite the positive momentum from the launch of FruityPi, Pi Coin is still experiencing fluctuations. As of May 31, 2025, over 4 million Pi Coins have been sent to exchanges, leading to a price drop to around $0.60—an important support level for this token. This activity shows that while investor confidence in Pi's long-term vision remains, short-term volatility may still continue as users decide to hold, spend, or trade their held Pi after recent developments.
