Key Takeaways

  • Despite launching in March 2019, the Pi Network’s PI coin is still unavailable on the open market.
  • The platform was supposed to launch its mainnet on Dec. 31, 2024, but this has been delayed until the first quarter of 2025.
  • More than 13 million people have passed their Know Your Customer checks. 
  • The value of PI IOUs is around $51, which would give the Pi Network Crypto a fully diluted market cap of more than $5 trillion.
  • Based on PI IOUs, we predict that Pi Network could drop to at least $25.20 next year.  

Pi Network, first announced over five years ago, remains one of the most talked-about crypto—despite still being unavailable on the open market.  

Initially slated for a potential launch on Dec. 31, 2024 , the launch date has since been pushed back to the first quarter of 2025.

As of Jan. 2, 2025, the value of Pi Network IOUs is approximately $51.

If all 100 billion Pi coins were to enter the market, it could propel Pi Network’s market cap to over $5 trillion, making it the largest cryptocurrency in the world.

In this article, we’ll explore Pi Network’s price predictions based on the current value of Pi IOUs as of Jan. 2, 2025.

Pi Network Price Prediction

Here are some Pi Network price predictions made by CCN on Jan. 2, 2025, based on PI IOUs. Remember that price predictions, especially for something as volatile as cryptocurrency, very often end up being wrong.

This is especially true when it comes to making price predictions for something as speculative and hypothetical as PI.

 

Minimum PI Price Prediction Average PI Price Prediction Maximum PI Price Prediction
2025 $42 $65 $90
2026 $50 $80 $120
2030 $75 $140 $200

Pi Network Price Prediction for 2025

The price is expected to experience moderate growth as the market tests the limits of the current descending trendline resistance. A breakout and sustained momentum above key Fibonacci levels could drive the price to an average of $65, with a maximum of $90 if bullish sentiment strengthens significantly.

Pi Network Price Prediction for 2026

By 2026, the asset may gain further traction as the market matures and investor confidence builds, pushing prices higher. A strong foundation of around $50 support and increasing adoption could lead to steady growth, with the potential to reach $120 under favorable market conditions.

Pi Network Price Prediction for 2030

By 2030, long-term market developments, broader adoption, and increased utility could propel the price significantly higher. While $75 serves as a conservative floor, continued momentum and market expansion could see the asset surpass $200, with $140 being a realistic average target.

Pi Price Analysis

The four-hour PI chart shows a descending trendline, marking a long-term downtrend since October’s high of $100. The price dropped to around $42 in November and December, oscillating within a horizontal range of up to $56.

Currently, the price is testing this trendline resistance, hinting at a potential breakout. The RSI indicates growing bullish momentum but remains below the overbought zone.

The $46 horizontal support has held firm, with multiple touches confirming its strength. A higher low has formed, suggesting a possible trend reversal.

A breakout above the trendline and sustained movement past $50 could signal a bullish phase. Otherwise, the price may consolidate further or retest the $46 support.

Short-term Pi Price Prediction

The chart shows a descending trendline marking a long-term downtrend since its October high, with the price consolidating between $46 and $56. Recently, the price has been testing the trendline resistance, hinting at a potential breakout as it forms higher lows.

The Fibonacci retracement levels indicate critical resistance points, with the 0.618 and 1.0 levels at $54 and $58, respectively. A break above these levels could suggest stronger bullish momentum. The RSI remains below overbought levels, supporting the possibility of further upward movement.

The $46 support zone has shown resilience, acting as a base for price stabilization and rebound. A failure to hold above $50 could see a retest of this support, while sustained bullish pressure may drive prices toward $69 in the projected wave structure. The Pi Network price prediction for the next 24 hours depends on whether PI can stay above $50. 

Pi Network Average True Range (ATR): PI Volatility

The Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility by averaging the largest of three values: the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close over a period, typically 14 days.

A rising ATR indicates increasing volatility, while a falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility.

Since ATR values can be higher for higher-priced assets, normalize ATR by dividing it by the asset price to compare volatility across different price levels. On Jan. 2, 2025, Pi Network’s ATR was 4.55, suggesting average volatility.

Pi Network Relative Strength Index (RSI): Is PI Overbought or Oversold?

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator traders use to determine whether an asset is overbought or oversold.

Movements above 70 and below 30 show over and undervaluation, respectively.

Movements above and below the 50 line also indicate if the trend is bullish or bearish. On Jan. 2, 2025, the PI IOUs RSI was at 48, suggesting a very slightly bearish, if not neutral, trend.

PI Price History 

Here is a price history of Pi Network IOUs . Keep in mind that these are hypothetical prices and could well have no relation to the actual price of PI if it ever launches. Even if they do, past performance is no indicator of future results.

Pi Network Market Cap

The market capitalization, or market cap, is the sum of the total number of PI in circulation multiplied by its price. With a purported maximum supply of 100 billion, should every PI come onto the open market, Pi Network would have a market cap of more than $5 trillion. This would make it, by quite some distance, the largest cryptocurrency. 

However, there are no clear tokenomics, let alone a mainnet launch date for PI, so this data should be treated with a pinch of salt.  

From the Pi Network Whitepaper

In its technical documentation, or whitepaper, Pi Network  claims to be “ the first digital currency for everyday people, representing a major step forward in the adoption of cryptocurrency worldwide”.

What is Pi Network?

In the world of cryptocurrency, one of the most common ways to make money is through mining crypto.

In the case of such coins as Bitcoin (BTC), involves solving an increasingly complex set of mathematical equations.

There is, however, one problem with this. As more people get involved with mining, the difficulty level rises.

This not only puts individuals off mining, it also causes a significant power demand, thus damaging the environment. 

Pi Network  is a crypto platform that aims to simplify crypto mining. Rather than solving equations, users simply tap a button on a mobile phone app to mine the system’s native token, PI. 

American academics Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan of Stanford University founded the Pi Network in 2018. The network officially launched on March 14, the so-called Pi Day, the following year. 

How Pi Network Works

Within the Pi Network, there are four types of users. Pioneers mine the coin, contributors give the network a list of trusted users, ambassadors bring new users onto the network using a referral code, and nodes supply computing power using their home computers.

Pi undergoes periodic “halving” to ensure its scarcity. Halving refers to reducing by half the number of coins a miner receives for processing new transactions. This typically occurs when it reaches a specific milestone. 

The mining rate for PI initially halved from 1.6 π to 0.8 π per hour when the user count reached 100,000. It halved again to 0.4 π per hour at the one million user mark and again to 0.2 π per hour when there were 10 million users. These rewards will continue to halve, ultimately reaching zero when the network hits one billion users.

Is Pi Network a Good Investment?

It is hard to tell. Remember that the idea of PI has been around for a very long time now, but an actual, real, proper, and tradeable token could be some way away. It is, frankly, anyone’s guess as to when PI will come out and how it will respond to being on the open market. A series of delayed launches might well make a more thoughtful investor come to believe that it may never come out. Also, an examination of the numbers suggests something is not entirely right with PI’s numbers

Will Pi Network Go Up or Down?

No one can really tell right now. In fact, in a very real sense, there is neither an up nor down, simply because any price stands based on IOUs and could well have little relation to any actual price if PI ever comes onto the open market. 

Should I Invest in Pi Network?

This is a question that we can’t really answer simply because, in any meaningful sense, there is nothing to actually invest in.

FAQs

How Many PI Are There?

PI has a reported maximum supply of 100 billion. However, none of them are on the open market as of Jan. 2 2025. 

Will PI Reach $100?

This is a tricky question to answer. What we can say, though, is that there is a lack of certainty about the system that powers PI. It can also be argued that its method of working is similar to multi-level marketing. On the other hand, though, PI does exist, it just isn’t on the open market yet. 

What is PI Used For?

Currently, PI is not really used for anything. This might change if and when it finally comes onto the open market, whenever that might be.
