Pi Network has once again pushed back its Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and Mainnet migration grace period, extending the deadline to February 28, 2025. This marks the third extension, coming just a day before the much-anticipated Mainnet launch, initially scheduled for January 31, 2025.
Despite concerns over repeated delays, the price of Pi Coin has surged 10% in the past 24 hours, reflecting investor confidence and heightened market activity.
Fairness in Focus: Ensuring Equal Opportunity
According to an official blog post, Pi Network emphasized that the extension aims to provide a fair opportunity for all members to complete their KYC verification and migrate their coins. The network assured users that this decision does not impact the Open Network launch, which remains scheduled for Q1 2025.

This move is seen as an effort to maintain community inclusivity, ensuring that no early adopters lose access to their mined Pi coins due to KYC delays.
Fail to Verify, Lose Your Coins
While the extended deadline provides additional time, Pi Network has clarified that failure to complete KYC and migration by February 28, 2025, will result in the loss of Pi balances. Only Pi coins mined within the six months leading up to migration will be retained, with older balances forfeited.
This policy serves as a strong incentive for users to act swiftly and secure their holdings before the final cutoff.
Pi Coin’s Price Reacts Positively
Despite the announcement of an extended grace period, Pi Coin has recorded a notable price increase. Within 24 hours, its value surged by 10%, reaching nearly $50 and pushing its market cap to $3.38 billion.
With the Mainnet launch still on track for Q1 2025, traders are speculating on future price movements. If the launch proceeds as planned, Pi Coin could climb to $100. However, further delays may trigger a bearish downturn, potentially pushing the price down to $28.
