Although Pi Network is developed independently, this time DTCC has announced that it will begin offering tokenization services on the Stellar network in 2027. Can Pi benefit from it? Without a doubt, the future is inevitable.

The “engine” and “chassis” of Pi Network are built using Stellar’s technology (Pi’s underlying code is largely based on Stellar). Over the past couple of days, they have also been upgraded to protocol v24.

Now DTCC (the global financial super boss) has decided to formally bring real-world assets worth 114 trillion USD—stocks, government bonds, ETFs, and more—onto the Stellar chain, and it has also obtained regulatory approval from the U.S. SEC.

It’s like this: a super strict bank says, “I only trust the technology from this factory, so I hand over my vault and all my valuables to it to manage.”
What happened? This factory (Stellar) suddenly becomes extremely reliable, fully licensed, and backed.

Because Pi uses the same technology stack, once others look at it, they will think: “Oh, Pi is using that technology that’s been recognized by major banks. It shouldn’t be too bad.”

This is what we call indirect credibility injection.

DTCC will first use Stellar, and in the future it will add other public chains that have undergone strict audits. Although it’s not possible to use Pi network, the reason is that the direction is different. In the future, DTCC and Stellar, as well as other chains, will belong to the “asset layer,” while Pi network belongs to the “account layer.”

Pi has a decentralized KYC system. This huge user layer makes Pi’s DID users include public keys, verification methods, and service endpoints; when cross-chain visibility becomes available in the future, users won’t need to repeatedly go through real-name verification. Because Pi has a massive real-person compliance database, using VC technology Pi can prove to the underlying financial asset chains that “the operator is a real person and compliant, meeting KYC and AML requirements.” At the same time, it does not disclose users’ privacy—this was also emphasized again by the doctor at the Miami conference.

So in the future, there will definitely be many new innovations on Pi Network, based on cross-chain innovation between the front-end “user layer” and DTCC + Stellar’s “asset layer.” The room for innovation around tokenized asset rights is extremely, extremely large.

To summarize in one simple sentence:
DTCC gave Stellar a stamp of approval. Because Pi uses the same “components” as Stellar, Pi also benefits and looks more legitimate and more trustworthy.
