The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has taken a major step in advancing compliant blockchain finance by joining the ERC-3643 Association, a standards body focused on regulated digital assets. This move could also have ripple effects on Pi Network, which is built on Stellar’s core technology.
Stellar’s Push for Regulated Tokenization
The ERC-3643 standard, introduced by Tokeny, enables the creation of permissioned tokens with built-in compliance logic. These tokens can meet stringent regulatory requirements, including those of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, while allowing for secure, verified transactions.
By joining the association, Stellar aims to upgrade its tokenization infrastructure to attract asset issuers, institutional investors, and developers into its ecosystem. Interoperability is a key focus, with plans to enhance compatibility between Stellar and Ethereum, enabling cross-chain transfers of tokenized assets.
Tomer Weller, SDF’s Chief Product Officer, emphasized: “Open standards and compliance mechanisms, combined with interoperability, are critical for scaling the use of tokenized real-world assets.”
ERC-3643 Association President Dennis O’Connell echoed this, noting that Stellar’s high-speed network paired with established compliance frameworks will provide regulators with a familiar yet advanced system.
What It Means for Pi Network
Given that Pi Network is founded on Stellar’s underlying technology, analysts believe it could leverage this development to expand into real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Blockchain researcher Dr. Altcoin suggested that Pi might one day issue tokenized shares, property rights, or other assets with compliance restrictions embedded directly into transactions.
This vision aligns with previous remarks from Pi co-founder Nicolas Kokkalis, who highlighted the project’s potential to evolve beyond payments and into broader tokenized markets.
With Stellar preparing for Protocol 23, an upgrade aimed at enhancing decentralization and compatibility with dApps, Pi Network could also benefit from stronger infrastructure for projects like the Pi AI App Studio.

Expanding Into Compliant Blockchain Finance
Together, Stellar’s ERC-3643 integration and upcoming technical upgrades may open the door for Pi Network to engage in cross-border, compliant blockchain finance. This could strengthen its long-term foothold in the tokenized economy, making Pi more relevant in regulated financial markets.
