Pi Network Teams Up With Stellar to Tokenize Real-World Assets Via ERC-3643

Pi Network is set to enter the regulated real-world asset (RWA) tokenization space through a strategic collaboration with Stellar, which recently joined the ERC-3643 Association. This partnership opens new pathways for Pi to tokenize assets like real estate and equities, embedding compliance rules directly into smart contracts [1]. The ERC-3643 framework, developed by Tokeny, allows for the creation of “permissioned tokens,” ensuring that only verified participants can engage in transactions, thus meeting regulatory standards globally [1]. Stellar’s membership in the association marks a significant milestone, as it aims to facilitate cross-chain interoperability between Stellar and Ethereum, enabling seamless movement of compliant tokenized assets between blockchains [1].

Built on Stellar’s infrastructure, Pi Network stands to benefit from this integration. The move aligns with broader ambitions to tokenize $3 billion in real-world assets by 2025—nearly ten times the $290 million in RWA value recorded on the network in late 2024 [1]. Nicolas Kokkalis, co-founder of Pi, has previously expressed interest in tokenized assets, indicating a strategic alignment with the platform’s evolving goals [1]. With the Stellar Development Foundation preparing to roll out Protocol 23, Pi is expected to see enhanced capabilities, including support for decentralized applications within the Pi AI App Studio, which could significantly expand its utility [1].

The Stellar Development Foundation emphasized that open standards, strong compliance frameworks, and interoperability are essential to scaling tokenized assets. According to Tomer Weller, the foundation’s Chief Product Officer, the partnership with ERC-3643 is aimed at creating a secure and compliant environment for tokenizing RWAs [1]. Dennis O’Connell, President of the ERC-3643 Association, described Stellar’s involvement as a major milestone, noting that it aligns Stellar’s low-cost, fast transactions with a compliance framework recognized by major regulators, including the U.S. SEC [1].

For Pi Network, the implications are substantial. The network plans to launch its open mainnet in February 2025, which could position it to play a critical role in the tokenized asset economy [1]. Analysts suggest that increased liquidity and regulatory clarity may drive broader adoption in fintech and DeFi ecosystems [1]. The potential for compliant tokenized assets to enhance the utility and value of Pi Coin is a key factor in this development [1]. If fully realized, this shift could transform Pi into a regulated, globally connected blockchain platform, bridging traditional financial markets with decentralized infrastructure [1].

As Stellar and Pi Network continue to integrate RWA tokenization into their ecosystems, the broader cryptocurrency market may experience greater institutional participation and regulatory engagement [1]. The success of these initiatives will likely influence how traditional financial assets transition to blockchain-based formats. With the Stellar Foundation targeting significant growth in RWA tokenization and Pi preparing its mainnet, the future of tokenized assets is increasingly aligned with mainstream financial infrastructure [1].
