Pi Network Crashes 42% to $1.72 as Mainnet Migration Deadline Approaches

Pi Network Cryptocurrency Crashes: 42% Down From Record High Ahead Of Mainnet Migration Deadline On March 14

  • Pi Network‘s value has fallen 42% to $1.72 from its peak of $2.99 as the March 14, 2025 Mainnet migration deadline approaches.
  • Binance has established a firm KYC verification deadline with no extensions planned beyond March 14, raising stakes for Pi holders.
  • Current market metrics show Pi Network has a $12.4 billion market cap and $933 million in 24-hour trading volume despite recent volatility.

Pi Network’s cryptocurrency value has plummeted 42% from its recent high of $2.99 to $1.72 as the crucial March 14, 2025 Mainnet migration deadline looms. Despite the dramatic drop, the token has rebounded slightly with a 17.1% increase in the last 24 hours, according to Coingecko data. The cryptocurrency currently maintains a substantial $12.4 billion market capitalization with $933 million in daily trading volume.

Price volatility intensified significantly in recent days, with Pi’s value nearly halving from almost $3 to under $2 in less than a week. This instability coincides directly with the approaching migration deadline that has created uncertainty throughout the Pi community.

The Mainnet migration represents a critical technical milestone for Pi Network, transforming user tokens from a testing environment (Testnet) to the official blockchain (Mainnet). Thangapandi Durai, CEO of Koinpark, explains that this transition will enable Pi holders to “utilize their tokens within a broader ecosystem beyond the Pi app.”

Users must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification to participate in the migration process, with Binance confirming no extensions will be granted beyond the March 14 deadline. The Pi Core Team has implemented these verification requirements to strengthen network security and prevent potential fraud, though unverified tokens risk being lost after the deadline passes.

The migration provides significant advantages for verified Pi holders, who will gain the ability to conduct transactions on the open mainnet. This advancement permits interaction with other blockchains and potential integration with exchanges and third-party applications.

Durai further clarifies that open mainnet access signifies Pi Network’s full connection to the wider blockchain ecosystem. Token holders will benefit from unrestricted transactions, free token transfers, and external wallet integrations, potentially opening opportunities for exchange trading.

Speculation about a potential Pi Network listing on Binance has increased following the exchange’s introduction of a new token listing model. However, Durai notes that despite widespread community support, Binance has not officially confirmed any listing plans. Pi Network must continue demonstrating robust security measures, regulatory compliance, and sustained user engagement to meet the strict listing criteria of major exchanges.
