Pi Network Price Rises Ahead of Protocol 27 Upgrade as AlphaPepe Secures CEX Partnerships

The Pi Network price has been steadily rising ahead of its upcoming Protocol 27 upgrade. Currently trading at around $0.098, PI needs to grow by approximately 23% to reach its target of $0.12.

This significant milestone is expected to be achieved if the current rally develops into sustained buying after the September 15 rollout. The upgrade will introduce smart contract functionality, DEX and AMM capabilities, and new liquidity tools, which could give developers and users more reasons to engage with PI on-chain.

Meanwhile, AlphaPepe has secured four CEX partnerships - Azbit, BiFinance, Biconomy, and LATOKEN - and is set to announce further exchange partnerships. The project's presale remains open at $0.02931 in Stage 20, with over $2.63 million raised and more than 11,600 holders.
