Deep Dive
Pi Network is entering a decisive phase in its post-mainnet journey, marked by a mandatory protocol upgrade and the impending launch of its decentralized exchange (DEX). Following the Open Mainnet launch on February 20, 2025, which enabled external transferability and trading of PI, the ecosystem is now prioritizing infrastructure development, compliance, and the establishment of real utility.
As of March 2026, all Mainnet node operators are required to upgrade to software version 19.9 to maintain network connectivity. This update is part of a larger transition towards Protocol v23, slated for completion in the second quarter of 2026. The upgrade aims to align Pi Network with the latest Stellar Consensus standards, enhancing scalability and smart contract capabilities.
The activation of the Pi Decentralized Exchange on March 12, 2026, is anticipated as a significant milestone. The DEX will introduce peer-to-peer trading and decentralized liquidity pools, fostering a more self-sustaining digital economy within the Pi ecosystem. This development is expected to reduce reliance on centralized exchanges and stimulate on-chain activity.
In addition to the DEX launch, the network is set to roll out on-chain compensation for KYC validators by March 31. This initiative aims to provide direct economic incentives for network security, akin to staking rewards. Concurrently, a new framework proposal, PiRC1 – “Proof Before Profit,” is being introduced to govern ecosystem development. This proposal mandates that projects must launch functional applications before issuing tokens and suggests that token proceeds be allocated to permanent liquidity pools rather than directly to project teams, emphasizing a utility-first approach.
The Pi Core Team submitted a MiCA whitepaper to EU regulators in late 2025, indicating a commitment to comply with the bloc’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. This move could facilitate listings on regulated European exchanges, potentially bolstering the project’s institutional credibility.
Despite price volatility, Pi Network continues to experience growth in user participation. Mainnet migrations have exceeded 16.2 million users, with over 17.7 million users completing KYC verification. The network supports more than 421,000 active nodes and over 300 Mainnet applications. Currently, more than 111 million PI tokens are staked for ranking purposes, and merchant adoption is reported to be over 148,000 stores globally. The circulating supply is between 9.3 and 9.4 billion PI, out of a total maximum supply of 100 billion tokens.
PI is currently trading between $0.16 and $0.19, significantly below its February 2025 launch-day high of $2.10. Market capitalization is estimated between $1.6 billion and $1.78 billion, with daily trading volumes ranging from $19 million to $26 million. This price action is attributed to ongoing concerns regarding supply dynamics and the pace of real-world adoption. Analyst outlooks are divided, with some highlighting the substantial unreleased token supply as a potential cap on near-term upside, while others foresee potential price increases towards $0.24 to $0.56 by mid-2026 if the DEX and protocol upgrades drive adoption. Long-term projections suggest prices could exceed $2.50 by 2030 under favorable scaling and token distribution conditions. While PI is listed on several platforms, it remains absent from major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, though Kraken has included it on its 2026 listing roadmap.
PI is trading near $0.169, positioned between the 50-period SMA ($0.166) and the 100-period SMA ($0.171), indicating a tightening price range. The RSI (14) is around 52, suggesting mild bullish momentum without overbought conditions. The MACD is flattening just above the zero line with marginally positive histogram bars, indicating a cooling of bearish pressure. A sustained move above $0.171–$0.175 could target $0.19, while a break below $0.166 might lead to a retest of the $0.155–$0.16 range.
