- Pi Network is joining Ripple and Stellar to align with ISO 20022 global financial standards.
- PI regains momentum, jumping over 16% in 24 hours, and shows potential for higher prices.
The Pi Network native coin, PI, has increased by more than 16% over the past 24 hours. This price surge follows Pi Network’s strategic push to align with the global financial standards, ISO 20022.
Pi Network to Join ISO 20022
Pi Network announced that it is seeking to join ISO 20022 by November 22, 2025. This positions the network alongside established players like Ripple and Stellar, which have long focused on blockchain-based payments.
For context, ISO 20022 is an international standard for financial messaging, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
It replaces outdated systems like SWIFT with a more modern, XML-based format that carries richer data. Think of it as detailed transaction information, such as sender and receiver details, purpose codes, compliance flags, and regulatory metadata.
It modernizes payments by enabling faster processing, better error detection, improved transparency, and easier compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) rules.
Right now, crypto and banks often do not connect well as transfers involve manual conversions, high fees, and delays.
However, with the ISO 20022 integration, Pi transactions would include bank-like metadata. Thus, a PI payment could flow directly into SWIFT or a bank’s system without friction.
The integration could also give Pi an edge in the blockchain space. Pi could excel in peer-to-peer (P2P) and retail payments, complementing the institutional focus of Ripple and Stellar.
Despite the benefits, only a handful of projects have prioritized compliance with ISO 20022. In a previous article, we discussed that Ripple and Stellar directly fit the goals of ISO 2022. These blockchains are already ISO-compliant, powering real-world remittances.
A recent code leak even suggested that XRP is directly tied to ISO 20022, as noted in our earlier post. However, Ripple CTO David Schwartz clarified the misunderstandings about XRP’s function in the system.
Pi Coin Price Reaction and Projections
The price of Pi Coin has regained momentum since the announcement of the ISO 20022 integration. PI flipped bullish, clearing the major resistance at $0.23.
In the past 24 hours, PI price jumped 16.5% to $0.2658. This daily spike extended the weekly gains by over 30%.
The trading volume also increased by 55.8% to $97.86 million. This means increased market activity as investors and traders show commitment to PI.
Analysts are eying $0.3626 as a short-term target. In a bearish case, PI could make a quick trip back to $0.23 if it encounters challenges at the $0.28 resistance.
Nevertheless, bulls are optimistic about further upside ahead of the Protocol 23 upgrade and growing KYC-verified user base.
Moreover, Pi Coin remains one of the most hyped projects in the altcoin space. If the team delivers a functional mainnet and secures key exchange listings, Pi Coin could trigger a retail wave.
