Pi Network, XRP, XLM hidden connections? The truth revealed.
In the crypto assets investment circle, Pi Network (PI), Ripple (XRP), and Stellar (XLM) are often placed in the same investment portfolio, especially among the Pi community, where many people show a high level of interest in both XRP and XLM. This is not a coincidence, as there are little-known deep connections between these three in terms of technical genes and ideological visions.
Technical Bloodline: Shared Stellar Genes
The connection between XRP and XLM can be traced back to co-founder Jed McCaleb. After leaving Ripple in 2014, he founded the Stellar Foundation, which facilitated the birth of XLM.
Although XRP and XLM use different consensus mechanisms, they both have the characteristics of high-speed and low-cost transactions.
Surprisingly, Pi Network is also built on Stellar Core, which means it has a direct connection to XLM at the underlying technology level and stays in sync with Stellar's updates (such as Protocol 23).
Pi Network: The Gateway to Mining for All
Pi Network was founded in 2019 by a team of Stanford University graduates, and its biggest feature is that mining can be done using a mobile phone, without the need for expensive hardware.
This simple and user-friendly model makes Pi the first stop for many ordinary users entering the crypto world, which aligns with the lightweight design philosophy of the Stellar protocol.
Global Vision: Common Goal of Inclusive Finance
Despite their different entry points, the core vision of the three is the same - to allow more people around the world to easily access financial services.
XRP / XLM: Focused on low-cost cross-border payments and fund transfers
Pi Network: Bringing digital currency to the public in a simple and low-threshold way.
This conceptual alignment creates a natural intersection among the communities of the three.
U.S. Origin + Regulatory Favor
Pi, XRP, and XLM all originated in the United States and are led by teams or founders with backgrounds from Stanford.
As the regulatory environment for digital assets in the United States improves in 2025, investors' confidence in these projects strengthens, providing psychological support for their market performance.
Market Performance and Community Intersection
Although the price of PI has been relatively weak recently, XRP and XLM have maintained a strong price correlation, but the supporter communities of the three are highly overlapping.
This kind of community cross-effect may become an important driving force for the revival of Pi in the future.
Conclusion
If you are an investor in the Pi Network, it is not surprising that you are interested in XRP and XLM - they not only share common technological genes, but also have a consistent vision for global inclusive finance, as well as similar academic and regulatory backgrounds in the United States.
In the future, as technology and the regulatory environment mature further, the connections between these three may transform into closer cooperation and market resonance.
