The 2025 Pi2Day Ecosystem Challenge will take place from June 28 to July 7, aiming to celebrate and highlight various ecosystem and application support updates for Pi2Day.

Despite frequent product innovations, the price of Pi Tokens has shown a falling trend, sharply contrasting with the soaring prices of Bitcoin and XRP during the same period.
