Pi Network News: Pi DeFi Developments Grow After Protocol 27
Pi Network News: Protocol 27, Coixa Wallet, and PI Price Today
Pi Network News today centers on DeFi. Coixa, a self-custody wallet and trading platform, is now live for Pi on Android and the web. Its team has also opened a global community for Pioneers.
PI coin price, meanwhile, slipped 3.33% to $0.08788 over 24 hours, based on live CoinMarketCap data.
Pi Network News: Coixa Opens Its Global Community for Pi DeFi Users
Coixa confirmed in its official announcement on September 23 that its community is now open. The team describes it as a worldwide hub where Pioneers can meet, share ideas and learn about Pi DeFi. Users can join regional groups on Telegram, and country ambassadors are also planned.
Separately, Onramp Money, Coixa's fiat partner, has hinted that its Pi DeFi gateway was upgraded. No details are public yet.
What Coixa Wallet Offers Pioneers Who Want Self-Custody DeFi Tools
Coixa is built for Pi and Stellar. It runs on Android and the web. An iOS version is still in development.
Core features:
Self-custody: keys stay on the phone, backed by hardware storage
Trading tools: swaps, limit orders, charts, order books and liquidity pools
Fiat on-ramp: buy $PI with local currency through Onramp.money
Two networks: Pi and Stellar assets in one app
Audit: a claimed 96/100 score on a 260-page review
Coixa is an independent project. The Core Team does not run it. Its business verification request was reported as pending near launch. The audit score is also the project's own claim, shown on coixa.xyz. Users should treat the app as a third-party tool.
Pi Network Protocol 27 Mainnet Launch Is Live, and Protocol 28 Is Next
Public data from the Mainnet API on September 23 showed the Protocol 27 mainnet launch is complete. All key protocol fields now read version 27. This Pi Network news matters for builders.
Mainnet: Protocol 27
Testnet: Protocol 28, per the Testnet API
Latest Mainnet ledger: 28,854,641
Protocol 27 allows more flexible and secure smart contract authentication. That gives developers a base for swaps and liquidity pools. Official Pi DEX tools are still in testing. Third-party apps like Coixa fill that gap for now.
Why PI Price Down Today: Token Falls After Days of Gains
Market data in today's Pi Network news shows PI price under pressure:
Source: CoinMarketCap Official
Price: $0.08788, down 3.33% in 24 hours
Market cap: $988.14M
24-hour volume: $8.61M
Circulating supply: 11.24B of 100B PI
Fully diluted value: $8.78B
The dip follows the wider crypto market today. Bitcoin fell 3.13%, and total crypto market value dropped 2.99%. Volume is low against a $988M market cap, so prices can swing fast.
Pi Ecosystem Growth 2026: Peniwallet, RoboPay and PayPal Reports
Pi Network news today also points to a busy ecosystem. Coixa is not the first name to link up with the network. Several wallets and platforms have surfaced in recent months on the ecosystem.
Peniwallet: the non-custodial wallet is reviewing Pi's newest APIs for a possible integration. No launch date exists.
Arcadia Marketing Listing: Pi appeared on the Web3 growth firm's client list on September 11 and 12. A client listing is not a confirmed partnership.
RoboPay: Fabric Foundation named Pi a payment partner for future robot services. The rollout is still ahead.
PayPal: its Pay with Crypto tool was reported to support PI. The Pi Core Team has not confirmed it, and PayPal is missing from the official business verification list.
Together, these items show wider interest. Most still need proof.
Pi Network News now turns to Coixa's rollout and what the Pi Core Team confirms next. Real usage will matter more than headlines. Trading volume, locked value and active wallets will show if Protocol 27 tools reach everyday users.
Official updates on minepi.com remain the safest check. PI is a volatile asset and can lose value fast.
