Pi Network’s Open Mainnet is finally launching on February 20, 2025. The web3 community has been buzzing with price predictions ranging from $0.02 to a speculative $314,159 per Pi.
What’s the significance: Pi Network’s token launch on more prominent exchanges will elevate it to more mainstream crypto attention.
The Big Picture: The launch could determine Pi Coin’s real market value, open the door for more exchange listings, and test whether Pi’s massive community-driven model can transition into mainstream adoption.
Key details:
- Pi Network, led by Nicolas Kokkalis, will launch its Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025 after six years of development.
- Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, Pi allows mobile mining, making it more accessible and energy-efficient.
- It is currently in the IOU phase, meaning actual transfers aren’t possible yet.
- IOU means “I Owe You,” in the context of cryptocurrency, an IOU represents a promise to deliver a specific amount of a particular cryptocurrency at a later date.
- Meaning it is a speculative contract rather than the actual token.
Open Mainnet:
Previously, Pi Network repeatedly delayed its Mainnet launch, but it has now officially announced that the Open Network will launch on February 20, 2025, through an X post.
Exchange Listings: Where Can You Trade Pi?
After the announcement of the launch, on February 12, global crypto exchange OKX also announced the listing of PI (Pi Network) on its spot trading markets.

In a Facebook post from BitPinas, along with public posts from Pi Network community members, claim that the value of the Pi token will surge, potentially reaching $314,159—a number symbolically linked to π (Pi) ≈ 3.14159. While some Pi Network supporters view this as a fun numerical reference, others speculate on it as a potential price target.
On the other hand, one commenter predicted that the $10 dream some holders hope for is not possible; he explained that with 10.6 billion Pi in total supply and 10 million KYC-approved users holding an average of 1,061 Pi each, a realistic price prediction is $0.01 to $0.03 per Pi.
What Crypto Experts Say About Pi Network
Luis Buenaventura, GCash Executive
Buenaventura reiterated in a post about his skepticism about the project but acknowledged that its upcoming February 20 Mainnet launch will be the ultimate test.
- He also predicted that based on Pi Network’s mainnet supply and total supply (FDV), Pi token’s price could start at $0.02 per Pi, giving it a $100M market cap, similar to BLAST and SLP.
Paolo Dioquino, Head of DeFi Philippines
Dioquino also shared his opinion on Pi Network and analyzed its upcoming $PI token listing on major exchanges.
- He highlighted $PI’s 100B max supply, 6B circulating supply, and a likely realistic valuation of $0.20 per $PI ($2B FDV)—far below speculative targets of $50-$100.
- Dioquino added While Pi Network has built a strong community, its utility is limited to payments, KYC verification, and ads, with underwhelming dApps. Unlike Bitcoin, $PI is easily mined and oversupplied, and mainstream crypto traders remain largely indifferent.
Additional quote:
“Overall I would say $PI can be considered a good example of the sunk-cost fallacy or diamond handing and looks like it’s going to reward users by February 20 as the CEX becomes exit liquidity. I’m already seeing troubles with the KYC requirement to transfer $PI from the wallet to the CEX. Users will be competing on sending $PI quickly in a CEX to sell and those who know how a wallet works have an advantage. In the end you are competing against the uncles and aunties of various countries with a belief on $PI making them rich yet minimum understanding about block explorers. But if you believe in $PI, you can purchase the token on an exchange by Feb 20. All the best during the launch.”

Reality Check: Will Pi Actually Reach $314,159?
- Market Capitalization Perspective
- If Pi were to reach $314,159, with even an eventual circulating supply of just 100 million Pi, its market cap would be over $31 trillion—which is more than 10x Bitcoin’s all-time high market cap.
- Supply and Distribution
- Pi Network has millions of users who have mined tokens over the years.
- When the Open Mainnet launches, there could be massive sell pressure, leading to a price drop unless strong demand balances it.
- Realistic Price Predictions
- When Pi trading began on enclosed mainnet exchanges, prices fluctuated between $10 to $100+, but these were speculative and unbacked by real liquidity.
- A more realistic target post-mainnet could be $10 – $100 in the short term, depending on adoption, use cases, and exchange listings.
What to Watch Next
The upcoming mainnet launch on February 20 which will reveal Pi’s real market value.
