Investors are constantly searching for the best opportunities in the altcoin world. Today we analyze Onyxcoin (XCN) and Pi Network (PI) to determine which might be the better investment choice.
Adoption & Real-World Use Cases
Onyxcoin is used for transaction fees, staking rewards, and governance within the Onyx ecosystem. It also offers discounts on services and has partnerships with major platforms like Coinbase and KuCoin. Pi Network has launched its open Mainnet, enabling external transactions, yet real-world adoption remains speculative despite efforts like the organization of PiFest 2025.
Tokenomics & Supply Mechanics
Onyxcoin has a fixed total supply of 48.47 billion tokens, making it more predictable. Recent token unlocks added about 0.91% to the circulating supply. Pi Network faces bigger inflation risks with a total supply of 100 billion tokens, and 9.7 billion already circulating. Concerns exist that the increasing supply could outweigh demand, weakening Pi's value over time, without a good burn mechanism.
Development & Roadmap
Onyxcoin aims to improve accessibility and interoperability in Q2 2025, with a focus on enhancing market visibility in Q3. Pi Network's open Mainnet provides more liquidity and trading opportunities on exchanges, although some exchanges remain cautious due to regulatory uncertainties.
Both coins have their strengths and weaknesses. XCN offers more stability and partnerships with major exchanges, making it less risky for those seeking structured growth. On the other side, Pi Coin’s strong community support and growth potential are appealing but come with inflation and regulatory risks, making it a higher risk investment.
