💰 Token Unlock & Market Impact (July 4, 2025)
• Starting July 4, Pi Network has begun a 30-day token unlock, with 304.7 million PI entering circulation, including approximately 19 million unlocked on July 4 alone.
• This large unlock is expected to exert short-term bearish pressure on PI’s price.
📱 Open Mainnet & Wallet Upgrades
• Open Mainnet officially launched on February 20, 2025, enabling external transfers, dApps, and exchange integrations.
• Currently 7.4 billion PI have migrated on-chain; ~2.2 billion are unlocked and active, while ~5.2 billion remain locked.
• “Wallet activation” feature allows KYC‑verified users (even non‑migrated ones) to engage with dApps and transactions.
• Over 13–13.7 million users have completed migration to Mainnet.
📊 Price & Market Sentiment
• PI is currently trading around $0.49, down ~21% over the past week, amid unlock‑driven selling pressure.
• Despite Pi2Day updates, price momentum remains weak; unlocking nearly 268 million PI in July could drive further downward pressure.
• Some analysts remain cautiously optimistic:
• CCN foresees a short-term surge toward $1.07–$1.21 if technical indicators hold.
• Coinpedia suggests a potential $3–$5 rally if PI lands on Binance or Coinbase. But these are speculative scenarios.
⚙️ What You Should Do/Watch For
• If you’re a user or developer: Explore Pi App Studio, join the Ecosystem Challenge, and stake to support promising dApps.
• If you’re tracking the token: Monitor the July unlock supply (19 M/day peaks), and watch for new exchange listings—those could significantly impact price.
• Upcoming catalysts:
• .pi domain auction results by September
• More fiat on‑ramp rollouts
• Exchange listings (Binance/Coinbase) rumors
• Ecosystem KPIs (merchant acceptance, dApp usage)
