The Pi Network community is eagerly awaiting Pi Day, which marks the sixth anniversary of the project. While excitement builds around potential announcements, Pi token holders should be mindful of key concerns that could impact their holdings. Here are four major issues to watch ahead of this pivotal date.
KYC and Mainnet Migration Deadline
March 14, 2025, serves as the deadline for Pi Network’s mainnet migration. Users must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification to transfer their Pi tokens from the testnet to the newly launched blockchain. The Pi Network team has explicitly stated there will be no extensions to this deadline. Failure to complete the migration process means token holders could lose access to their Pi holdings, a significant concern given the potential price surge surrounding Pi Day.
Decentralization Concerns
Despite branding itself as a decentralized project, Pi Network has raised concerns regarding token distribution and network validators. Reports from PiScan reveal that out of the total 100 billion Pi supply, nearly 62 billion tokens are controlled by six wallets linked to the core team. Furthermore, Pi Network currently operates with only two active validators and 17 active nodes—an alarmingly low number compared to fully decentralized networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum. These centralization concerns could impact investor confidence and hinder mainstream adoption.
Lack of Confirmed Listings on Major Exchanges
Pi Network enthusiasts are hopeful that Binance or Coinbase will list Pi Coin after the mainnet migration. While exchanges like OKX and Bitget have already listed Pi Coin, top-tier platforms remain hesitant. Without confirmation from Binance or Coinbase, the anticipated price rally on Pi Day could be short-lived, leading to a potential sell-off among disappointed investors.
Weak Market Momentum and Price Risks
Pi Coin is currently trading at $1.68, reflecting a 1.7% drop over the past 24 hours. Indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 55 and a declining Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) suggest weak buying pressure. If momentum remains low, Pi Coin risks falling to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $1.36. However, a surge in demand could push the token toward the 123.6% Fib level at $1.93.
Pi Day 2025 could be a turning point for Pi Network, bringing potential price volatility and key developments. While positive announcements might boost the token’s value, holders must be aware of the risks tied to KYC deadlines, decentralization concerns, exchange listings, and market sentiment. As the event approaches, staying informed and taking necessary precautions will be crucial for Pi Network investors.
