Can Pi Network’s KYB Strategy Put an End to Crypto Market Speculation?

Jakarta, Pintu News – Pi Network is now focusing on strengthening the Know Your Business (KYB) approval process as a strategic move to strengthen the Pi token distribution model.

Recent KYB approvals granted to fiat on-ramp providers such as Banxa, TransFi Onramp.Money, and Onramper demonstrate a dual distribution framework that emphasizes compliance, ease of access, and real user engagement.

The goal is to prioritize real-world utilization of the Pi ecosystem while limiting speculative trading activities.

Pi Network Focuses on KYB-Passed On-Ramps

Pi Network’s core team made a strategy change in the distribution of Pi tokens. Instead of releasing a large number of tokens directly to the centralized exchange (CEX), tokens are now allocated to partner wallets that have obtained Know Your Business (KYB) approval.

Popular community member, Dr. Altcoin, thinks this distribution method helps avoid speculative risks.

The focus on a dual distribution framework – KYB for businesses and KYC for users – was reinforced with reminders from Pi’s core team for users to complete their KYC process immediately for migration to the mainnet.

Currently, KYB and on-ramp platforms such as Banxa, TransFi Onramp.Money, and Onramper operate in over 100 countries and support over 170 payment methods. This opens up wider access for Pi tokens while remaining under regulatory oversight.

Dr. Altcoin believes this model can help the Pi Network expand globally while reducing exposure to price volatility, speculative manipulation, and trading by liquidity-reliant “whales”.

This approach differs from conventional crypto launches that typically flood exchanges with tokens. Instead, Pi’s model flows the supply of tokens to users and businesses that actually want to utilize them within the ecosystem – including for in-app payments, peer-to-peer transactions, and other services.

Regarding this development, Dr. Altcoin asserts:

“By making KYB(Know Your Business) mandatory, Pi ensures only verified and legitimate businesses can participate in its blockchain operations, thus creating trust and protecting Pioneers from fraud and bad actors. Only businesses that pass KYB verification can operate Pi Wallet on the mainnet and perform transactions on the blockchain.”

Centralized Exchange (CEX) Not the Main Focus of Pi Token Distribution

While listing on a centralized exchange (CEX) still plays a role in providing liquidity, its role is complementary and not the core of Pi’s distribution strategy.

By emphasizing trust, compliance, and real-world usability, Pi Network is positioning itself as a potential model for digital currencies looking to thrive in a regulated environment.

Dr. Altcoin mentioned that Pi’s dual distribution model could be a blueprint for mature crypto projects looking to bridge blockchain infrastructure with mainstream commerce.

The Pi Network infrastructure will also get a major update along with the Stellar Protocol 23 update.

In addition, Pi’s core team is stepping up efforts to fight misinformation. In a recent email to the community, they called on all parties to help educate the public with fact-based content.

Amid a general crypto market recovery, Pi Coin’s price rose 5% today (8/8/25). Daily trading volume jumped 63% to 78 million US dollars, signaling an optimistic sentiment among traders.
