What Is Pi Network? Pi Network is a social cryptocurrency, developer platform, and ecosystem designed for widespread accessibility and real-world utility. It enables users to mine and transact Pi using a mobile-friendly interface while supporting applications built within its blockchain ecosystem.  Supply Model and Mining Mechanism The Maximum Supply of Pi is 100 billion tokens. The Maximum Supply is comprised of the following: 65 Billion tokens (or 65%) are allocated for all community mining rewards; 10 billion (10%) are allocated for foundation reserves; 5 billion (5%) are allocated for liquidity purposes; and 20 billion (20%) are allocated for the Core Team. Each allocation mentioned above tracks the community Migrated Mining Rewards issuance pace, so the proportions of each allocation in the total supply remains the same at any given time.   The Effective Total Supply of Pi—the total Pi supply at the current time—allocates Pi proportionally the same as the Maximum Supply. Since every allocation tracks the Migrated Mining Rewards of the community, the Effective Total Supply can be calculated by dividing the current Migrated Mining Rewards of Pi on the Mainnet blockchain by 65%. The other allocations within the Effective Total Supply can then be calculated based on the same proportions as the Maximum Supply, e.g. at most 10% of the Effective Total Supply is available in the foundation reserve, 5% of the Effective Total Supply is available for liquidity purposes, and 20% of the Effective Total Supply is available for the Core Team. This remains true despite the fact that all tokens were minted at the genesis as technically required by the blockchain protocol.  Circulating Supply includes all Migrated Mining Rewards and all tokens that entered circulation from other buckets of the allocations, which at its maximum could be summed up to equal the Effective Total Supply.   Pi’s mining rewards are distributed based on an issuance formula that follows a declining exponential model defined in the Pi whitepaper. Users can increase the amount of mining rewards they receive based on their individual contributions to the network, like Security Circles, using utility-based Pi apps, running Nodes, etc. For each month, the amount of Pi to be distributed as mobile balance is capped and determined by the model, regardless of how many people or how many types of mining rewards there are during the month. The capping is achieved by the design of a system-wide base mining rate, and each type of mining rewards to each individual are just a multiplier of this base mining rate. As the monthly supplies always diminish, the base mining rate generally decreases over time.   Fewer Pi may also be issued because the real Pi issuance on the blockchain depends on Pioneers passing KYC and completing all steps required for migration to the Mainnet. Despite all efforts to facilitate and remind Pioneers to complete those required steps, there are always dropoffs along the way, resulting in less than all outstanding mobile balances to be issued on the blockchain. Because of this mechanism, the community issued amount (Migrated Mining Rewards) on the blockchain will likely be closer and closer to a line lower than the 65 billion. This is thus the reason for the variable Effective Total Supply which incorporates this effect. Effective Total Supply results from all Migrated Mining Rewards divided by 65%, as opposed to the Maximum Supply of 100 billion.  Ecosystem and Adoption Pi Network has built an integrated ecosystem that facilitates real-world transactions and decentralized applications. Pi can be used as a medium of exchange for goods and services, including online commerce and local brick-and-mortar businesses.  Users can engage with Core Team and community-built apps in the Pi ecosystem through the Pi Browser, where integrated features like the Pi Wallet provide a seamless experience. Events like PiFest 2024 showcased Pi’s growing adoption, with over 27,000 active sellers and 28,000 test merchants across 160 countries.  Who Are the Founders of Pi Network? Pi Network was founded by Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan, both of whom have PhDs from Stanford University and a passion for improving human lives through technology.  Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis is a Stanford PhD in EE and postdoc in CS with research on distributed systems and human-computer interaction. His work focuses on combining distributed systems and human computer interaction to bring cryptocurrency to everyday people. As a strong and long-term believer of the technical, financial and social potential of cryptocurrencies, he is determined to move them beyond their current limitations and is committed to bringing the power of blockchain to more people.  Dr. Chengdiao Fan holds a Stanford PhD in Anthropological Sciences, harnessing social computing to unlock human potential on a global scale. Chengdiao is building Pi Network to mobilize individuals all over the world to participate and be rewarded for their contributions, and establish an inclusive ecosystem for global citizens to unleash and capture their own agency, and in turn create utilities and productions for society and the world.  Compliance and Identity Verification Pi Network follows a one-account-per-person policy through its Know Your Customer (KYC) solution. This system combines machine automation and human verification to authenticate user identities while preserving privacy.  The KYC process emphasizes real individuals, combats fraudulent activities and enables fair participation in the mining process of the network. Pi’s identity verification approach balances scalability, security, and accessibility, allowing millions of users worldwide to validate their accounts while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Chinese EV major BYD widened its European lead over Tesla last month, selling more than three times as many cars as the previous year to outpace the U.S. rival for the second consecutive month.&nbsp;BYD’s registrations jumped 201% in August, for a 1.3% market share across the EU, against Tesla’s 1.2% after its sales slumped 36.6%, Reuters&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/byd-outsells-tesla-eu-second-month-stellantis-returns-sales-growth-2025-09-25/">reported</a>, citing data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA).It was a mixed month for Europe’s traditional automakers. Stellantis returned to growth for the first time since early 2024, with sales up 2.2% in August. Volkswagen registrations rose 4.8% and Renault gained 7.8%. Overall, car sales across the EU increased 5.3%.Buyers kept moving towards electrified vehicles, with battery-electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars accounting for more than 62% of registrations, compared with just under 53% a year earlier.Tesla’s challenges ran deeper than the EU average. Data from Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) showed its&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-sales-fall-germany-european-markets-continue-to-decline/chwTUgeRd8Z">sales in the country dropped 39% in August</a> to 1,441 units, even as overall EV sales there jumped 46%.&nbsp;According to National Auto Association data, Tesla also lost ground in France, where sales fell 47% to 1,331 units, and in Belgium, which saw a 61% decline to 585.

Global automakers are reportedly relying more on Chinese technology to fast-track electric vehicles, with Ford, Toyota, Renault and Volkswagen joining Audi in adopting Chinese EV platforms, software and powertrains to cut costs and shorten timelines.Audi’s turning point came in 2021, when its executives were stunned by the Zeekr 001, a long-range EV with European styling. “The Zeekr 001 back then shocked quite everyone,” said Stefan Poetzl, president of SAIC Audi Sales and Marketing, according to a Reuters&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/china-inside-how-chinese-ev-tech-is-reshaping-global-auto-design-2025-09-11/">report</a>.&nbsp;In response, Audi partnered with SAIC to develop the Audi E5 Sportback, built in just 18 months with Chinese batteries, electric drive systems, infotainment and advanced driver assistance. The $33,000 model will be delivered to Chinese buyers this month.Other global players are pursuing similar strategies. Toyota is co-developing China-dedicated models with Guangzhou-based GAC, while Volkswagen has expanded plans with Xpeng that cover both EV and fuel models.&nbsp;Renault built the Dacia Spring on a Dongfeng platform and is apparently developing a new electric Twingo in Shanghai with support from Launch Design. Ford is actively seeking a Chinese partner, with CEO Jim Farley praising local models such as Xiaomi’s SU7 sedan.Stellantis has already taken the step of licensing technology: CEO Zhu Jiangming said its partner Leapmotor will sell EVs overseas and is in talks with other brands to license its platform.&nbsp;Abu Dhabi-based CYVN Holdings, an investor in Nio, has also reportedly built a premium EV using Nio’s chassis and software, with plans to sell under the McLaren brand.Analysts say the model resembles the “Intel Inside” campaign of the 1990s, where Chinese EV makers package chassis, batteries and software into ready-made kits for foreign manufacturers.&nbsp;The approach saves billions in R&amp;D and years of development, while providing Chinese companies with valuable licensing revenue amid a bruising domestic price war and mounting trade tensions abroad.“It is a very smart, win-win solution,” said Will Wang, general manager of Shanghai-based consultancy Autodatas. Marco Santino of Oliver Wyman added that the “firepower” of China’s fierce EV competition allows legacy carmakers to bring higher-quality products to market more quickly.But some warn of long-term risks. Former Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer cautioned that over-reliance on outside technology could leave traditional automakers as “just a retailer.”&nbsp;Analysts also noted that companies like Volkswagen are seeking to blend Chinese systems with their own to preserve brand differentiation.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ for Ford amid ‘low’ message volume, while it was ‘neutral’ for Toyota with ‘high’ volume, Renault with ‘low’ volume, and Volkswagen with ‘normal’ volume.So far this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/F">Ford</a> is up 22.5%,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TM">Toyota’s U.S.-listed stock</a> has gained 3.2%,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/RNLSY">Renault’s U.S.-listed shares</a> are down 14.7%, and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/VWAGY">Volkswagen’s U.S.-listed stock</a> is up 33.8%.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

What’s next for Renault stock after profit warning?

Investing.com -- UBS sees limited near-term upside for  Renault  (EPA:RENA) shares following the automaker’s first profit warning in years, which sent the stock down 18%.

Renault Group on Monday cut its financial guidance for the full year&nbsp;(FY) 2025 after posting preliminary first-half results,&nbsp;which were dented by softening retail market, operational headwinds, and working capital challenges.&nbsp;The company also named Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Duncan Minto as interim CEO, effective immediately.The automaker now expects an operating margin of around 6.5% for FY25, down from its previous guidance of 7% or more.&nbsp;Free cash flow is projected between €1 billion and €1.5 billion&nbsp;($1.16 billion-$1.74 billion), lower than the earlier forecast of at least €2 billion.Renault’s revenue grew 2.5% in the first half of 2025 to €27.6 billion, but profits were squeezed.&nbsp;The operating margin slipped to 6%, and free cash flow dropped to just €47 million, dragged down by a €900 million hit from working capital issues.&nbsp;Renault said sales of its light commercial vehicles came in below expectations, while billing delays at the end of June and higher-than-planned inventory levels added to the pressure.With retail demand continuing to slide in Europe and rivals becoming more aggressive, the company plans to tighten its belt. It’s looking to cut costs in areas like administration, manufacturing, and R&amp;D to help protect its bottom line.Alongside the financial update, Renault appointed CFO Duncan Minto as interim Chief Executive Officer.&nbsp;Minto, who joined Renault in 1997 and&nbsp;assumed the role&nbsp;of Group CFO in March 2025, will continue to serve in this capacity until a permanent CEO is appointed. Jean-Dominique Senard will act as Chairman of Renault s.a.s. during the transition.The selection process for the new CEO is underway, according to the company.According to analysts cited by&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/renault-s-next-ceo-could-be-homegrown-or-poached-from-stellantis-analysts-say/chlrp78RRcg">Reuters</a>, potential successors include Denis Le Vot, the current head of Renault's Dacia brand, and Maxime Picat, Stellantis’ global purchasing chief and former Peugeot CEO.&nbsp;Le Vot is seen as a strong internal candidate following Dacia’s success with models like the Sandero and Duster.&nbsp;Picat was previously in the running for the top role at Stellantis.&nbsp;Analysts at Kepler Cheuvreux and JP Morgan have also flagged the possibility of external hires, potentially from Volkswagen or Nissan.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for Renault was ‘neutral’ amid ‘extremely low’ message volume.Renault’s U.S. shares have declined 5.4% so far in 2025.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
