PI Network Ventures推出了1亿美元的资金，以加速大规模采用PI生态系统

5月16日晚上10点，Kokkalis在2025年共同加入了一个名为“ AI +区块链基础设施，以加速批量收养”的小组。

At 10 p.m. on May 16, Kokkalis joined a panel titled “AI + Blockchain Infrastructure to Accelerate Mass Adoption” at Consensus 2025. His participation marked his first public appearance since the project began.

5月16日晚上10点，科卡利斯（Kokkalis）在2025年共识上加入了一个名为“ AI +区块链基础设施，以加速大众收养”。他的参与标志着自项目开始以来他的首次公开露面。

Two days earlier, on May 14, he appeared in a video interview on a crypto platform to announce the launch of Pi Network Ventures - a $100 million investment fund (comprising both Pi tokens and fiat) dedicated to supporting projects built on the Pi ecosystem or contributing to its development.

两天前，5月14日，他在一个加密平台上进行了视频采访，宣布PI Network Ventures的启动 - 一项耗资1亿美元的投资基金（包括PI代币和FIAT），致力于支持基于PI生态系统或为其发展做出贡献的项目。

The fund is drawn from 10% of Pi’s total token supply, which had been reserved for ecosystem development initiatives. The goal is to increase the real-world utility of Pi tokens by backing products, services, and real-use transactions.

该基金来自PI的总供应量的10％，该供应是为生态系统开发计划保留的。目的是通过支持产品，服务和实际交易来增加PI代币的现实效用。

Unlike many traditional crypto-focused funds centered on Web3, Pi Network Ventures also targets broader tech sectors, including AI, fintech, e-commerce, social media, and consumer applications.

与许多以Web3为中心的传统以加密货币为中心的资金不同，PI Network Ventures还针对更广泛的技术领域，包括AI，金融科技，电子商务，社交媒体和消费者应用程序。

During his presentation, Kokkalis introduced Pi Network as a social platform with tens of millions of users over the past six years. He emphasized Pi’s unique KYC system, stating that every blockchain account must pass this verification process before activation.

在演讲中，Kokkalis在过去六年中引入了PI Network作为社交平台，拥有数千万用户。他强调了PI的独特KYC系统，指出每个区块链帐户都必须在激活之前通过此验证过程。

He also spoke about the transformative rise of generative AI, saying that the world is now shifting toward building high-value applications and products after witnessing a breakthrough in AI models.

他还谈到了生成性AI的变革性崛起，称世界正在朝着AI模型的突破后，现在正在转向建造高价值应用和产品。

Yet, despite these updates, the Pi token price dropped further. After the May 14 announcement of Pi Ventures, Pi fell from $1.20 to $0.80. Following Kokkalis’s speech on May 16, the price declined again, now trading around $0.70. Its market capitalization plummeted from $9 billion on May 12 to $4.8 billion, with just over $600 million in 24-hour trading volume.

然而，尽管有这些更新，但PI代币的价格进一步下降。 5月14日宣布PI Ventures之后，PI从1.20美元下降到0.80美元。在Kokkalis在5月16日发表演讲之后，价格再次下降，现在交易约为0.70美元。它的市值从5月12日的90亿美元下降到48亿美元，距离超过6亿美元的24小时交易量。

According to Nguyen Hoang Anh, a cryptocurrency investor in Ho Chi Minh City, the drop was predictable. “The Pi community expected real, groundbreaking updates and reassurance from the team, but the information provided was vague. The core team hasn’t addressed investors’ long-standing concerns,” he said.

根据胡志明市的加密货币投资者的Nguyen Hoang Anh表示，下降是可以预见的。他说：“ PI社区期望团队的真实，开创性的更新和保证，但所提供的信息含糊不清。核心团队尚未解决投资者的长期关注。”

He pointed out that the new Pi Ventures fund plans to invest beyond crypto into broader tech areas, using 10% of token supply. “Investors worry this is just an excuse to dump Pi tokens. Kokkalis focused only on tech concepts and failed to discuss future development or project direction,” he added.

他指出，新的PI Ventures基金计划使用代币供应量的10％，将加密货币超越更广泛的技术领域进行投资。他补充说：“投资者担心这只是倾倒Pi代币的借口。科卡利斯仅专注于技术概念，并且未能讨论未来的发展或项目方向。”

Hai Thanh, a longtime miner and investor in Pi, expressed deep disappointment. “The Pi community placed high hopes on the announcements from May 14 and 16. But once again, there were no clear updates. It feels like the Pi Core Team is ignoring miners and investors. The price is volatile, yet they remain silent. I feel scammed and will no longer invest in Pi Network,” he stated.

Hai Thanh是PI的长期矿工和投资者，对此表示深刻的失望。 “ PI社区对5月14日至16日的公告发出了浓厚的希望。但是，再一次没有明确的更新。感觉就像Pi Core团队无视矿工和投资者。价格波动，但它们保持沉默，但我仍然感到陷入沉默。我感到被骗了，不再对PI Network进行投资，”他说。”

In Vietnam, cryptocurrency transactions remain unregulated. The State Bank of Vietnam has repeatedly warned of the risks associated with owning, trading, and using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Pi, emphasizing that these transactions are not legally protected.

在越南，加密货币交易仍然不受监管。越南国家银行一再警告说，拥有，交易和使用比特币和PI等加密货币相关的风险，强调这些交易并非合法保护。
