You’ll Never Believe What Pi Network Is Serving Up for 2025 (And Neither Will Your Wallet)

by

If you’ve ever checked your Pi wallet and felt a pang of nostalgia for that all-time high, you’re not alone—all of Pi Network appears to be locked in a group therapy session right now. In May, PI, the preferred token of future millionaires and people with zero impulse control, slipped past the $0.6 “support” level like a kid ducking under the turnstile at the subway. Apparently, technicals are bearish, which, in crypto-speak, means “Yes, it can always get worse.”

Lately, Pi has been dropping harder than your phone face down on concrete. Ten percent off this week, a total of 23% from last month’s “high,” which in retrospect would make an excellent punchline, and—wait, let’s get some Kleenex—almost 80 percent down from its peak of $2.99. That was back in February, a simpler time when hope still existed. The market cap is now chilling at $4.1 billion, which sounds impressive until you see the daily trading volume limping along at $75 million, down 40%. Somewhere in a parallel universe, Pi Coin is the next Bitcoin. But over here, it’s just doing its best impression of Blockbuster stock circa 2012.

So why the sell-off? A little thing called “dilution.” In April, about 21.4 million PI tokens were unlocked and dumped onto the market—they say it’s only $12.3 million at today’s prices, which, let’s be honest, isn’t what you want to hear if you’re heavily invested. The smart money (read: people slightly less delusional than the rest of us) is bracing for even bigger unlocks, because—plot twist—over 131 million PI are expected to show up at the party every month next year. At this point, dilution is less a threat and more a lifestyle.

Wait, There’s Actually an Ecosystem (And Not Just a Coin Collection App) 🎪

Now, before you gather your Pi tokens and hurl them off a cliff, here’s the twist: developers are still plugging away, oblivious to the price chart. The mainnet is open, and the build-a-dApp bonanza shows no signs of slowing. There’s 1Pi Mall, where you can pay with Pi instead of just your dignity, and Workforce Pool, a job marketplace presumably for job seekers who accept cryptocurrency and heartbreak. Map of Pi lets you hunt for businesses that take Pi, sort of like Pokémon Go for people who believe baristas should accept alternate money.

Hilariously, just before the Open Mainnet, Pi hit its 100-dApp goal. Picture someone blowing out the candles, then realizing the room is still empty except for two party hats and a bowl of stale chips. Still, the developers persist—now you can launch a memecoin (Piepump.fun, in a bid to make Solana jealous) or fritter away your time with Fruity Pie, where you play a game and earn more Pi to… well, you get it, right?

And in a nod to the ad-obsessed among us, the Pi Ad Network now lets advertisers overpay for the privilege of targeting users when they’re secretly just trying to check the price. Developers can earn Pi simply by showing these ads—a win-win if you love: a) Pi, b) ads, or c) both, for some unfathomable reason.

But wait—there’s more! Pi now has its very own .pi domains, because nothing says “utility” like sticker shock from losing an online domain auction denominated in a token that’s falling faster than my hopes for a summer beach body. Apparently, this is accessible via Pi Browser or .pinet.com. If nothing else, it will sharpen your online bidding reflexes for that inevitable eBay midlife crisis.

To bring Pi kicking and screaming into the real world, the network is also organizing events like PiFest. The 2025 edition ran from March 14 to 21, luring over 58,000 sellers from 160+ countries and wrangling 1.8 million Pi loyalists into Pi-powered transactions. Café owners everywhere finally have an answer for what to do with all that Pi: invite customers to pay with it, and pray for a price reversal. 🙏

Hodl Your Breath: Maybe Binance Will Notice You

Hope floats, especially when you’re in crypto. Pi could catch a break if it lands a listing on Binance. It’s lurking on OKX, Bitget, MEXC (no offense, team), but Binance is the golden ticket. Over 86% of nearly 295,000 Binance users clicked “yes” on a Pi listing—either out of hope, spite, or the irresistible urge to click buttons in online polls.

If—and it’s a big “if”—Binance opens its velvet ropes to Pi, the usual benefits could follow: more liquidity, fancier trading volumes, sleepless nights for new bagholders, and possibly a spike in price before everyone realizes what they’ve done. This could even pressure other exchanges to follow suit in a classic middle-school popularity contest that somehow determines your destiny as a digital coin.

Price Analysis: Lower, Lower, Maybe Lower?

Right now, Pi’s technicals look like a cry for help. The daily chart is a parade of red, with the price loitering under both the 20-day and 50-day EMAs. “Bearish sentiment” feels like an understatement—it’s more like a bear has moved into your living room and is eating your snacks.

The RSI is at 41, because that’s about how optimistic you feel after logging into your Pi wallet. Anything under 50 isn’t exactly party time; at least you’re not alone.

The MACD’s looking tired. It’s like: “I could go bullish, but honestly, I just want to nap.” If those MACD lines cross, brace yourself—it might mean a trip to $0.40, which pairs nicely with the $0.59 that’s already making your portfolio look like Swiss cheese.

“Reclaim $1 for a rally,” says one trader. Nice thought, but first, Pi needs to get over $0.645 and break out of its death spiral. If it slips under $0.57, it’s goodbye cool-sounding resistance levels, hello panic-induced Reddit posts.

Community matters, because Pi is powered more by hope than anything measurable. But at the moment, that sentiment is as negative as your chances of buying a decent cup of coffee for under three bucks.

As of this writing, Pi is down another 3%, clinging to $0.59 like it’s the last floaty at a pool party.
