Pi Network is also in a new stage of technical experimentation because it is now investigating the possibility of its decentralized AI computation being supported by its global network of users. The recent update, posted by analyst Crypto Asad, brings out a growing story on the involvement of Pi in AI-based blockchain infrastructure. The project expects to leverage its high number of mobile miners and desktop node operators to execute large scale distributed AI tasks. This trend is what will lead Pi out of the initial identity of a mobile mining platform and into the larger field of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks.
Expanding Supported by Millions of Users
Pi Network has an approximate of 50 million users and over 350,000 active desktop nodes at the time of writing. These nodes serve to support hardware on AI applications that in the past had to rely on large data centers. Pi seeks to create its own compute layer by accessing user controlled machines by tapping into their assets to distribute AI tasks to thousands of machines. This model is unique to the other decentralized compute projects that tend to have smaller user bases because of the scale. The network coverage by Pi provides a test bed in large scale distributed inference and training experiments.
Initial viability of OpenMind Collaboration
The POC demonstrates preliminary feasibility with respect to a decentralized compute paradigm based on the utilization of any consumer hardware, as opposed to specialized server farms. The current price stands at an average of 0.226 dollars and has remained in a tight tolerance band all through November. It may trend to 0.30 0.40 dollars according to analysts in case of an increase in AI demand and the compute utility of Pi. The move out of Big Tech cloud providers would put decentralized AI tokens in a new perspective.
Response and Industry Outlook in the Community
The update has already spread within Pi communities around the world, particularly in Asia whereby the adoption rates are still high. Majority of the responses point at interest in the non-mining practical utility. Provided that Pi keeps expanding its compute network and increases on-chain verification, it can become an important participant in the infrastructure of the decentralized AI. The changing collaboration with OpenMind implies the long-term dedication to combining blockchain, robotics, and distributed computing.
The market of 2025 is changing significantly and the statistics cannot be ignored. S&P global also found that by October, 387 corporate bankruptcies were already experienced in the U.S. Almost half of all failures are industrial names (98) and consumer discretionary companies (80). This economic pressure is redefining risk behavior in terms of both the asset classes, such as equities and crypto.
Within this context, retail investors, who have been fiendishly buying every dip since the COVID times, are now dying off. Several charts used by analysts indicate that retail participation has dampened a lot compared to past years particularly on the tech-heavy sectors that dominated bull cycles in the past. And yet, markets are not falling. On the contrary, there is another power that is replacing.
Record ETF Launches Indicate Power Shift
FactSet verifies the fact that crypto institutions have pumped more than 430 billion dollars into ETFs -one of the best multi-month inflow trends ever seen. Add another layer, ICI data: five consecutive weeks with ETF net issuance of between 300-400 billion – almost all of it institutionally issued. NVDA, a tech stock that is currently trading in the vicinity of their 20% depreciation areas, indicate a coinciding institutional and retail cost base, which has traditionally been a precursor to powerful reversals.
This arrangement is similar to the 2012, 2016 and 2020 turning points which saw markets pick themselves up in quiet bottoms and create significant multi-year uptrends. However, there is one sector that is performing poorly this time.
Crypto Stagnate as Stock Markets Gain
IBIT, the BlackRock flagship BTC ETF, had over 600 million in outflows last week as Bitcoin dropped to below the $90,000 level. This is not an indicator of a bear market. Rather, it is a short-term rotation: institutions moving back to equities until the next rate-cut message of the Federal Reserve. Phyrex gives this a non-typical bull name, an institutional flows-first cycle, retail returns-later cycle, and crypto lag-before-exploding-upward cycle. As the macro pressure of bankruptcies and tightening liquidity flows get on the system, the slowdown of crypto is not a system failure but a stall in a bigger system.
Employment and Inflation make Tones
The meetings will indicate how Fed officials understand the cooling inflation which hit the 2.4 percent in October. The employment is also stable with the unemployment rate standing at approximately 4.3 percent and sluggish growth.The risk-on rally normally occurs upon soft language on inflation or employment. Good economic news will bring back some higher-longer worries, eat less crypto and tech.
The currency trends of the world are related to this. A less powerful USD in 2025 facilitated capital movement in digital assets and the up-and-coming markets. The reaction of Ethereum to the increase in world liquidity is generally positive, so the message of the Fed is essential nowadays.
NVIDIA Earnings Add Volatility
NVIDIA reports its 2026 fiscal Q3 earnings after the market close at 5 p.m. ET. The company is still the standard of the global AI cycle. The issue of margins, the demand of chips, supply limitations, and exposure to China are always fundamental matters. NVIDIA usually goes above and beyond expectations, whereas guidance has led to sudden changes in the past. Pricing of options is dependent on a 7 percent post-report movement in any direction. The Nasdaq could be boosted by a powerful print and propel crypto sentiment. Poor direction can strike AI-related stocks and overflow to risk assets.
Cryptocurrency Markets Monitor Macro Indicators
Bitcoin and Ethereum stood still following a steep drop. The reduced interest rates in the U.S. tend to reinforce ETH inflows, staking requirements, and institutional posture. Cryptocurrency associated with AI can respond to the report of NVIDIA as well. On-chain compute and data infrastructure are some of the sectors that traders track with potential momentum.
The presence of Fed minutes and a significant technology earnings announcement forms a two-step volatility format. Equities can move on a day-to-day basis as policy indicators arise. The after-hours trading can change abruptly, as NVIDIA offers information on the growth of AI. Traders are defensive and they are watching.
