Fact Check: Banks to Use Pi Coin GCV Value

TheCryptoTimesPublicado em 2025-06-10Última atualização em 2025-06-10

There’s a lot of chatter on platforms like Twitter right now about the cryptocurrency Pi Coin, Pi Network’s native coin. The big talk is that banks might actually start recognizing a special value for it called the “Global Consensus Value” (GCV).

Essentially, people are getting really excited because they’re hearing that financial institutions in nearly 200 countries could begin accepting Pi Coin at this GCV, which is a significantly high value that the Pi community itself has come up with. It’s an idea that has a lot of people in the Pi Network community hopeful about the coin’s future. 

This would mean that the Pi you have in your digital wallet would be recognized by banks at this high value, rather than the lower prices seen on some exchanges.

The rumors claim that “GCV Global Ambassadors” are pushing for this “Double Value Movement” by buying Pi at market prices and doing private transactions at the GCV. They believe this “double value” for Pi is “inevitable” and fair. This idea is making many in the Pi Network community very hopeful.

These claims have grown stronger because of a new app called Boostr. This app, part of the Pi Network, lets users pay for things like electricity bills and mobile phone top-ups with Pi Coin in many parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Being able to use Pi for everyday things has made people excited and believe that bigger financial institutions might soon recognize its value, possibly at the GCV.

Indeed, Pi users can now spend their coins on some services through Boostr. There is no official announcement or confirmation from the Pi Network itself, or any major bank or financial institution, that they will be using Pi Coin at the GCV. 

Right now, that GCV number, the $314,159 figure the Pi community has decided on, isn’t an official market price, and banks certainly don’t recognize it.

So, for the time being, all these claims are just whispers and hopes within the Pi Network group. There’s simply no solid evidence or official statement confirming that banks are getting ready to use Pi Coin at that super high GCV.

Tiger Research: Zuckerberg Begins Betting on Prediction Markets, While Asian Nations Still View Them as Gambling

This article examines the rise of prediction markets, contrasting their growing institutional acceptance in the West with their restrictive regulation in Asia. It details how prediction markets, which originated from informal political betting and academic experiments like the Iowa Electronic Market, aggregate crowd wisdom into probabilistic prices through binary contracts. Their growth accelerated around 2020, reaching over $14 billion in monthly volume. A key driver is the "skin in the game" principle, where users risk their own capital, leading to high accuracy in predicting events like Fed rate decisions and elections, as demonstrated by platforms like Polymarket. Meta's entry, with Mark Zuckerberg reportedly leading the development of the Arena app, signals the market's maturation. In the U.S., court rulings have distinguished prediction markets from gambling, facilitating entry by traditional financial institutions. However, most Asian jurisdictions still classify them as gambling, focusing on social control rather than financial innovation. The article argues this stance creates three problems for Asia: 1) regulatory arbitrage pushes users to riskier offshore platforms, 2) loss of sovereign information infrastructure as valuable social sentiment data accumulates abroad, and 3) abandonment of user protection. It concludes that Asia needs a policy shift from prohibition to constructive regulation, integrating these markets into the formal system to harness their data as a national asset, as initiatives like Limitless Research are beginning to do.

Ethereum's Next Decade in the Eyes of Vitalik

"Lean Ethereum" Long-Term Roadmap Unveiled by Vitalik Buterin On July 5, 2026, Vitalik Buterin published the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, positioning it as Ethereum's third major evolution following the Merge. This multi-year, multi-phase upgrade aims to fundamentally transform Ethereum's core protocol through staged network upgrades extending to 2029. Key goals include achieving 1 gigagas per second L1 throughput (a massive increase from the current ~32 TPS), near-instant finality, and quantum-resistant cryptography. The plan involves transitioning Ethereum's security model from full transaction re-execution by all nodes to native verification via recursive STARK proofs. A major proposed change is replacing the EVM with a proof-friendly architecture like RISC-V or leanISA, though this remains a point of contention, especially with L2s like Arbitrum favoring alternatives like WASM. Other planned upgrades include a restructured state model with a large, cheap "warehouse" storage layer to drastically reduce fees for migrated applications, multi-dimensional gas pricing, and a new focus on making privacy a first-class, native protocol feature. While the roadmap significantly raises Ethereum's long-term technical ceiling, analysts note it does not directly address ETH's mid-term token economics or value capture. The plan's multi-year timeline means near-term price impact will likely depend on observable progress milestones, such as the successful deployment of the upcoming Glamsterdam gas limit increase, growth in L2 activity and blob usage, and trends in L1 fee revenue and ETH burn.

In Just 11 Days, Claude Rewrote Millions of Lines of Code, an Epic AI Engineering Feat Sparks Fury

In just 11 days, Bun's founder Jarred Sumner used Anthropic's Claude AI models to rewrite its million lines of code from Zig to Rust. This move sparked significant controversy, particularly from Zig's creator, Andrew Kelley, who publicly criticized Sumner's engineering practices and the decision to use AI for such a massive rewrite. Bun, a high-performance JavaScript/TypeScript runtime and rival to Node.js, was originally written in Zig. After Anthropic acquired Bun, the team encountered persistent stability and memory safety bugs in the Zig codebase. These issues, combined with Zig's strict policy against LLM-generated code, led to the decision to rewrite in Rust. The rewrite was executed using Claude AI tools at an estimated API cost of $165,000, dramatically reducing the expected time and financial cost. Andrew Kelley's response was scathing. He blamed the original bugs on poor engineering habits, calling Bun's Zig code a collection of "hacks on top of hacks." He expressed relief that Bun was no longer associated with Zig, fearing it would misrepresent the language and attract low-quality, AI-generated contributions. The tech community is divided; some view Kelley's critique as unprofessional, while others see it as a defense of engineering integrity. A major concern about the AI-driven rewrite is the resulting code quality. The translation from Zig left approximately 27,000 lines of unsafe Rust code, raising fears about long-term maintainability and technical debt. The debate centers on whether this project is a milestone in AI-assisted development or a future maintenance nightmare.

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin to AI Engines: An Analysis of Cango's 'What Not to Do' Strategy

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin and Now AI: Cango's "What Not to Do" Strategy Cango, a Chinese auto finance platform that went public on the NYSE in 2018, is undergoing its third major transformation. After selling its entire auto business in 2024, it pivoted to become a large-scale Bitcoin miner, acquiring 50 exahash of mining rigs from Bitmain. However, its true goal was never Bitcoin, but owning and controlling energy infrastructure. Now, Cango is pivoting again. While most listed Bitcoin miners are leasing power to giant hyperscalers for AI training clusters, Cango is taking the opposite path. It has launched an AI inference subsidiary called EcoHash, focusing not on training but on distributed inference. The company's strategy hinges on the insight that over 70% of mining industry power is controlled by small, independent sites (10-50 MW), which are too small for hyperscalers but ideal for low-latency AI inference. Cango aims to partner with these small operators, providing the AI technology, customers, and financing through its EcoLink software layer, which can distribute workloads across sites for reliability. Cango maintains a hybrid model, running roughly 31.7 EH/s of Bitcoin mining for cash flow while aggressively cleaning its balance sheet—slashing long-term debt by 94.5% to $30.6 million and raising $75 million for its AI venture. Its first AI deployment will be at a 50 MW site in Georgia. The strategy faces skepticism, given the high costs of converting mining sites and the potential for an AI bubble. However, Cango's leadership believes discipline around "what not to do"—avoiding direct competition with hyperscalers in training—positions it to capture the long-tail demand for distributed AI inference power.
