If you are hoping that Pi day is going to shower millions on your coffers, let me warn you, it is only going to be another day. We can expect some major announcements, and the prices may shoot up. But it is unlikely that there will be a major exchange announcement, that will cause the prices to soar.
This is mainly because the Pi network is currently busy unlocking its coins on gradual phases. They are unlocking over 2.8B Pis within 30 days according to information available on Piscan.io. Only a handful is given to exchanges at the moment for trading, and because of that, Pi’s price fluctuations might endure such a massive inflow. Hopefully, we won’t see the coin fall below a $.80 mark. But an average unlock of 9.3M coins is happening every day. If you saw Pi’s price struggling to soar back to its above-$2 mark, this is the reason why. From an investor’s perspective, this is a great period to buy.
According to Piscan.io, March 23 will see an unlock of 14M, and from there onward, the average daily unlock would reduce to an average of 4.4M per day, with the highest falling on March 31 and April 4 with 7.9M coins unlocked on both days. As the volume of coins unlocked are less after March 23, we can assume that this could be a sensible time for big exchanges to step in (Maybe after April 4, when the 30-day streak ends).
An exchange of Binance’s scale would surely demand over $2B coins (a fair guess) to be infused into their exchange. The current set-up of careful release in phases will see that new Pi-holders are fairly treated, while safeguarding the network’s price from nosediving because of their urge to sell.
After the open network launch on February 20, we saw the prices dipping due to heavy selling pressure. Later, it bounced back to even $3. So, when the new paper-hands are out of the equation, and risks on a major sell-off again post listing due to pioneers are safely thwarted, the exchange listings can be expected to happen.

People hoped for announcement on Pi's Binance listing on 14.5.2025. When the news came out different, the prices plummeted. But what can an investment to the tune of $100m do to an ecosystem like Pi's. What did the investors miss? Here's ChatGpt's take (on an optimistic note):
A $100 million investment in a crypto ecosystem like Pi can be a game-changer, especially when focused on developing decentralized applications (DApps). This capital can empower developers, entrepreneurs, and communities to build tools that bring real-world utility to the token, accelerating its path to mainstream adoption.Optimistically, this funding can support 50–100 promising DApp projects with seed money, mentorship, and technical infrastructure. These could include decentralized marketplaces, social networks, financial tools (DeFi), games, and local commerce platforms — all tailored to Pi’s growing user base. With over 50 million engaged users, even basic utility DApps could gain instant traction, creating a self-sustaining cycle of usage, feedback, and improvement.A well-structured grant program or incubator can attract top-tier talent globally, ensuring quality and innovation. Within 12–18 months, 10–20 high-impact DApps could emerge, helping Pi move from a mined but idle token to a functional digital economy. Each successful DApp not only adds utility but also strengthens Pi’s credibility in the crypto space.Such an ecosystem would employ thousands — developers, testers, marketers, community managers — and indirectly support even more in local Pi-based microbusinesses. Increased usage, real transactions, and daily reliance on Pi would naturally boost demand, encouraging exchange listings and price discovery.In short, $100 million, if strategically deployed, can ignite a new phase for Pi: one where it’s not just held, but used — for buying, earning, playing, and connecting. That real utility is what could turn Pi into a valuable, long-term digital asset.

Pi is one of the coins with the highest market cap within just a few months of its launch already. It is amongst the top 5 in terms of global popularity as well. So with such an investment coming in, growth may not come in a fortnight, but for those who know how to hold with patience, future surely looks promising and bright.

I had mentioned in one of my previous posts, how after 24 March, the prices will shoot up again. This was based on the info available on Piscan.io about the number of coins unlocked on a daily basis. There was a massive respite after 24 March, and further ease after April 6. But according to the updated charts, there is heavy load of coins to unlock, in the range of 2-5 Million coins every day for the next 30 days as well. Meaning there will be no immediate relief to the selling pressure. Unless there is a massive update on any new dApps releasing, or any other strong utilities, Pi will struggle to cross $1 mark again. It might even plummet down to $0.60 mark soon. Because there are quite a lot of coins to be unlocked as well. It will be interesting to see what moves PCT will make in the coming days. Unless there is a massive liquidity to lean on, the locked coins will not be able to hedge stability for longer periods.

What is happening? The pioneers, who fought tooth and nail attacking Ben Zhou and Binance, are tired. Just like the initial days, there seems to be no upward trend on Pi’s graph as a result of their onslaughts. Every news online is the same old food, taken out of the fridge and heated in the oven; it has started to taste bad because of the routine now. The realisation has dawned: you cannot do this every day. 
The market is not so much in the pioneers’ control as they hoped it to be. So, instead of trying to move the earth with a table fork, what can they do? What should they expect and what is the game that is unfolding here? 
Let me cite two models before I begin: in sports tournaments, won’t the most hyped teams get crucified by the media if they don’t even get to the knock-outs? And wouldn’t an underdog be cheered and celebrated if they just got off the group stages? Let us try to combine and transmute these models into the patterns Pi network has been following. (Actually, not just Pi, a lot of renowned, long-term fighters follow this same technique.)

Our contender is not an underdog. But they lurk silently like one. When no one expects them to perform, there comes a lethal blow: homeruns, sixers, hat-tricks; enough to put a massive dent in the market. And what did they do to get there? We are not talking about Lionel Messi models, where you score a goal or two per match; this is the mountain trekker’s model, where you follow an ascending path, and deliver one step at a time! Thus, you only know the presence of the big team when they are right behind you; because you had ruled them off, and you were not paying close attention because they were not popping fireworks every night!
Pi Network has a habit of revealing their move only when the people around them have completely written them off. This doesn’t mean that they are waiting for people to underestimate them; just that they are methodical, even frustratingly so, but with a knack for delivering eventually. They prefer structure over hype - like getting the Mainnet stable and KYC sorted - even if it was a little messy. (I forgive them because that’s how massive their size is!) 
They are setting the stage for bigger moves, even if it tests the patience of the pioneers. To a massive set of followers, who are new to the market, it is better to convey less and only what is most important. Because these are the guys who went FUD and sold their coins because Dr. Chengdio Fan appeared a little fatigued in her address on the day of the Open Network launch. 
Pi’s vision is to democratise and simplify access to the crypto world with minimal usage of power; they know they have the onerous task of teaching millions of people who are new to the market about how the crypto-markets function. For this reason, they cannot create tutorials or create a video every day, calling out to their followers, like they are an army, to not sell and believe in them either. As I said, this is a democracy, where people are free to do whatever they want, and not a war in Normandy! 
Coins locked for long-term stability -- only a small chunk of coins circulating in exchanges at present -- in open network, but not fully on mainnet yet, to build a strong foundation first -- developers have their skin in now because their rewards in Pi are not just some game tokens -- unlocking millions of coins every day so that the paper-hands are out of the equation before massive exchanges like Binance or Coinbase enters the game; this means less volatility during the prime-time show -- and when unnecessary coins and profiles are purged, the tokenomics grows strong, and the demand higher!
I am not against the people who sell early. Not everyone is going through an easy life. Pi has a strong user-base in Asia and Africa. And it is nearly impossible to ask a single-mother, trying to fend for her children, to sit and learn about tokenomics and have belief! The only way to let people learn is by application. They know that it is impossible to keep all the pioneers in the fold. (If you look at the chat-boxes in the Pi app, you will realise the levels of anxiety involved.) So, Pi’s hands-off approach would be to let people who are in need, cash out, while banking on new blood as the word spreads. This way, the revolutionary model will sustain, flourish, and democracy will still be functioning. 
In simple words, they will look at the forest, and not at the trees. Those who see the pattern, will stick on. Having had a market cap of over $12B post launch is not small potatoes! 
A year before Pi’s open network launched, most of the pioneers were screaming the project was a scam. But the network executed their plan with conviction, even if it was a slow-grind. The Pioneers were waiting for Pi day; but I had explained in a previous post that no big miracles were going to happen that day. Similarly, nothing is going to happen overnight. They have a plan: to lay the foundation first, and before maybe mid-year or more towards the year end, release the coin gradually from their clutches and make it fully decentralized; at a time when it’s best for the project and not for the hype. Whether or not exchanges like Binance will expect the network to go fully decentralized before they list the coin, or, are the Pi network working on a date for such a launch where selling pressure due to the pioneers will be the lowest (like post March 23 or April 1st week), we are yet to see!
Pi has delivered every time. And even if they are slow, their footmarks have been gigantic in the crypto-world. So, if you are a pioneer, keep pushing, keep reading. No need to spread fake news. And do not hope for a miracle overnight. The roots are spreading deep into the ground, and consistency is the key.

When will Pi’s price go back above $2?
The PCT is unlocking 174.792 million coins in the next 30 days, according to data published on Piscan.io.
The selling pressure will be high till March 23 because 105.1M coins are unlocked in 7 days; we can expect the selling pressure to drop a little after that, as only 69.6M coins will be unlocked in the next 23 days.

After 23 March, Pi’s price can rebound. I expect the price to hang in between a $1.6-1.9 range, hitting $2 occasionally.
After April 6, the number of coins unlocked decreases further for a week. This is when I hope Pi will run over the $2 mark!
When can we expect a Binance listing?
Binance had hinted about the ‘Task’ phase, the size of a big slice of pie, that should be completed for ‘the dream’ to come true.
Pi is not fully decentralised yet. The PCT, from what we know so far, have a habit of not rushing into things. Recently, I played PiGame on Pi’s ecosystem and I loved it! Many other dApps, the utilities for a strong eco-system in future, are still work in progress. From how it looks, I think it will be another 3-6 months before we start realising those apps to their full potential.
The plan, I believe, is to create a solid foundation, before the PCT releases the project from their clutches and gives the power to network validators. I assume we can only hope for a Binance or CoinBase listing after this.
How is Pi’s name doing in the market?
Pi has landed with a massive impact. But word is only still spreading. Despite having one of the biggest market caps, a major chunk of crypto-related news desks haven’t even started to report on Pi. We will know the difference after exchanges like Binance or CoinBase decide to list it.

1 Pi = $314,159. Many pioneers believe this value will come true one day. So, are the pioneers of Pi network daydreaming, or will we ever see such a price come true? Also, what is a realistic price pioneers can hope for by the end of 2025?
We will begin with Bitcoin’s journey. One BTC was valued at about $1 in 2010. For the revolution Pi promises, it’s not wrong to imagine it happening one day. But while doing that, we should understand that BTC’s total supply is 21 million coins. That’s roughly the number of coins Pi network is unlocking every two days until March 23. The total supply stands at 100B, and the total coins in circulation stand at a whopping 7.2 billion. This is roughly 342 times the total supply of BTCs that will ever be available. Even if 19.7 million BTCs are mined globally, it is believed that the last BTC will be mined in 2140 — over a hundred years for almost 1.3 million coins! There are almost 89 billion Pi coins left to be mined!
Those numbers were mentioned to give a basic understanding of the difference in supply between BTC and Pi. BTC’s market cap, at the time of writing, is $1.6 trillion. Outside the crypto market, let us look at the market cap of a few big American companies. Apple’s market cap is $3.4T. Microsoft is at $2.8T. NVIDIA and Amazon are at $2.6T and $2.06T each. The U.S. has the world’s largest economy, with a GDP of $30.4 trillion and a net worth of $123 trillion. These numbers may vary and are only provided to lend a reference; so let us now come back to Pi.
(Without changing the number of Pi coins in circulation)
• Pi’s current market value is $10.01B with a price of $1.38 per coin.
• The market value will be $100B when the price of the coin hits $13.8.
• $1T (1000B) when the price is $138. Pi will stand as a seriouschallenger to BTC’s market cap.
• At $1380 per coin, Pi network will hit a market cap of $10T, beating BTC's market cap by a huge margin.
• Pi will start challenging the USA’s net worth with $13,800 per coin and a market cap of $100T.
• At Pi’s GCV, that is, $314,159, Pi will reach a market cap of $22,00T.
• When the 89B remaining coins are mined (89X the number above), Pi’s market cap will hit $195,800T.
This world is not enough for that kind of money, right?
So let’s start thinking both optimistically and realistically. I’d prefer to use SOL, XRP, and ETH for comparison. SOL has an unlimited supply. In 5 years, SOL is at $123.04 per coin. ETH has 120 million coins. Nearing 10 years, ETH is at $1,909 per coin. XRP has 100B total coins like Pi and 51B already in circulation. Within 13 years in the market, XRP’s current price is $2.16 per coin.
Pi is more locally tradable and apt for real-world use, unlike any of the coins mentioned above. But with 89 billion coins left to be mined, the demand is never going to be as high as $SOL or $ETH . XRP’s price and supply is an example. But SOL has an unlimited number of coins, and it’s still at $123.04, with 560M SOL in circulation. I personally think that is the range we are going to see Pi at in another 5 years. To hit the thousand-dollar mark with this much supply and access, Pi will need over a decade. By the end of 2025, anything between $6–10 is realistic.
While I am no expert at tokenomics, this post is meant to debunk the unrealistic GCV number that a section of the Pi community is raving about. That kind of belief is harmful to the community’s image, which Pi network considers its strength. Because even with a decimal point instead of a comma on that GCV, future still looks good for Pi.

Bybit CEO and co-founder Ben Zhou, alleged that Pi isn’t transparent about its project details; however, the things he shared to VnExpress about the coin recently, also seemed to lack ground, depth and details. He spoke as if he is the one new to the crypto-market.
"Many people have asked if Bybit will list Pi. While we have not interacted much with the project, we have conducted basic evaluations as we do with other cryptocurrencies," the Bybit CEO told VnExpress. Ben Zhou also warned that the Pi network targets people who are unfamiliar with cryptocurrency.
If people who are completely unfamiliar with cryptocurrency, read and understood about the project and waited for over 6 years for it to materialise, how is it so hard for someone with access to so much of information about crypto projects, to try and understand a little bit more about it before launching such a vicious attack?
The PCT has always stressed that their greatest goal is financial inclusivity. Millions of people who had no idea of Bybit before, currently know about the platform. Isn’t this enough to prove Pi’s organic impact on the crypto-world by itself? Even with a few tumbles, shouldn’t that level of inclusivity and participation be the future of a new crypto world, rather than staying as a dark corner none really trusts in?
"They advertise that by pressing a button, you can earn a lot of money. But they never explain how those returns are generated. Many people have received nothing, while leaks of internal information occasionally surface."
If Bybit CEO thinks that Pi is such a scam, or even worse than a meme coin, where are Bybit’s standards when they use Pi’s user-base to promote their own platform? Ads of Bybit and Binance regularly pop up on Pi’s platform while mining. Should I say more about such double-standards?
"I hope the founders or management team will step forward, maybe host a live-stream, so that people like me can understand the project. Instead, they have chosen to attack me and Bybit."
I am a freelancer who charge for my words, but I am not being paid to write here. I am here because I love the project. Similarly, most of the posts on social media against Bybit and Binance are directly from the Pi community, and not on the PCT’s directives. You can’t blame them; they are still learning. Established crypto-news platforms like CoinDesk and Decrypt haven’t even started reporting on Pi. The coin’s strong community is creating the buzz.
The project runs on internal trust circles formed. Pi’s blockchain technology, Stellar network, is not new to the crypto-industry either. To understand about the founders of Pi, or how strong their technical knowledge is, all you have to do is to go to Youtube and listen to Pi co-founder, Dr. Nicholas Kokkalis’s lectures on Blockchain to his students. He is not some myth that a CEO of Ben Zhou’s scale cannot trace if he so heroically busted those who fled with $ETH worth 1.5B from his exchange. Is all this pretending-not-to-know aimed at crashing Pi’s market and buy their their shares short before a major listing?
