Pi Network’s 2025 Price Outlook: Moon Mission or Mining Bust?
Can a crypto that mined on phones dodge the graveyard of abandoned blockchain projects? Pi Network’s 2025 price prediction hinges on one question: Will ’free crypto’ ever escape the shadow of its gimmicky origins?
Mainnet or Ghost Town? The make-or-break year ahead
With open mainnet still looming like Schrödinger’s cat—both alive and dead until observed—Pi’s valuation remains trapped between true believers and eye-rolling traders. Those 35 million ’engaged users’ better start actually using those coins.
The institutional shrug
Wall Street won’t touch this until KYC completes for the entire userbase (good luck with that). Meanwhile, exchanges treat Pi listings like hot potatoes—nobody wants to be holding the bag if this turns out to be the next BitConnect.
2025’s verdict? Either the greatest grassroots adoption story since Bitcoin... or another cautionary tale about why ’free money’ always costs you more in the end.
Pi Coin is at a crossroads. After a huge rally, the price dipped and now it’s stuck below key resistance. The new trading pairs has left the community buzzing. With fresh momentum building, Pi could either break out or drop and traders are on edge waiting for the next move.
It is currently consolidating around $0.74, stuck below the key 50-day EMA resistance at $0.84. The strong resistance sits NEAR $1.15, while critical support is at $0.52. Key factors like mainnet updates, new exchange listings, or partnerships could spark a rally.
For now, Pi is in an accumulation phase, with traders watching closely for a MOVE below $0.52 or a breakout above $0.85.
20% Breakout Soon?
It may soon witness a 20% breakout as it forms a symmetrical triangle pattern. This often precedes major price moves. PI Network’s open interest just hit $21M, rising fast by nearly $3M in six hours. Even with price uncertainty, more traders are betting on Pi. Besides, the funding rates have also turned positive again which shows that buyers are back.
Pi Coin is showing signs of bullish reversal. If it breaks above key resistance levels, starting with the 200-day SMA and then the 50-day SMA at $0.86 then it could rally toward $0.92. However, if it loses support at the triangle’s lower boundary, the price could drop to $0.61.
Reecntly, MEXC launched the PI/USD1 trading pair on May 27, a major milestone for Pi’s push for real-world utility. Analyst Dr Altcoin believes that a PI/USD1 pair could be a game-changer as it could institutional credibility could boost liquidity, trust, and visibility for Pi, and will making it more appealing than traditional stablecoin pairs.
Rising Mainstream Adoption
With major exchanges like MEXC and Bitget adding USD1 pairs, Pi is now better positioned for mainstream adoption and long-term growth in the crypto space.
Recently, over 102 million Pi tokens were withdrawn from OKX, which shows that there is growing momentum and rising confidence among Pioneers. However, some viewed it as suspicious 1.4 million Pi transfer from a four-year-old insider-linked wallet, later moved to Gate.io. Pi’s price surged over $0.80 but settled near $0.77.
Pi started May strong, jumping 190% to $1.67, but then dropped 55% and settled into a slow sideways trend. It faced pressure as 37 million tokens were set to unlock by the end of May. Large token unlocks usually mean more selling, which can push prices down further.
According to CoinDCX, If it can break back above $0.84 (the 50-day EMA), bullish momentum might return. As May ends, the price could move more and finish between $0.68 and $0.74.
