According to Gate data, the current price of PI is around $0.63, with a 24-hour rise of more than 10% and a daily trading volume close to $300 million. Compared to last week’s low, the cumulative rise has exceeded 30%. This is the strongest short-term rebound since April of this year, significantly increasing market activity.

Currently, the market capitalization of PI has surpassed 4.7 billion USD, which means that more and more mainstream capital is beginning to pay attention to this project that could be mined by simply “tapping” on a mobile phone in the past.

The main driving factors behind the rise

The rise of PI is not a coincidence, mainly due to the following catalysts:

1. Pi2Day event expectations are strong: June 28th every year is “Pi2Day” for the Pi Network community, and this year marks the 100th day since the mainnet launch, so the community expects significant announcements, ecological partnerships, or new features to be launched. This expectation has become the core driving force behind the short-term price rise.
2. The mainnet ecosystem is gradually taking shape: the mainnet was opened in March this year, and many ecological projects such as Pi Chat, Pi Browser, and Pi Mall are gradually coming online, significantly increasing user activity and forming a basic internal circulation economy.
3. Banxa Cooperation Enhances Confidence: Banxa is a well-known blockchain payment service provider that recently received support for compliance channels and plans to release 10 million PI tokens for ecosystem development. This cooperation is expected to enhance the payment and exchange capabilities of PI, pushing it to truly enter the “payment scenario.”

Pi2Day Event Preview

Pi2Day is one of the most important annual festivals of the PI community, and the 2025 Pi2Day is especially highly anticipated:

Key date: June 28, 2025
Market rumors include:

• Integrate AI modules to support intelligent chat mining.
• Release new ecosystem entry DApp
• Launch global payment channels
• Open mainnet for more commercial APIs

Although the officials have not fully confirmed the details, the community’s enthusiasm continues to rise, with a large number of investors positioning themselves in advance, driving short-term capital inflows. This type of “event market” has high volatility, presenting both opportunities and risks.

The risks of unlocking should not be ignored.

Despite the strong rise in the short term, there are still significant risks in the medium term, the main one being the token unlock pressure:

• Expected unlock time: early July 2025
• Scale: The market expects up to 170 million USD worth of PI tokens to be unlocked.
• Purpose: Mainly flows into the developer fund, ecological incentives, and early contributor accounts.

This means that the market will face certain selling pressure. If Pi2Day fails to bring sufficient “hardcore” positive news, the price is very likely to experience a correction in early July. Therefore, novice investors should not blindly chase high prices and should closely monitor on-chain address changes and official announcements.

How should investors seize the opportunity?

1. Short-term opportunity strategy: If you are an investor seeking short-term gains, you can tentatively position with a small amount before Pi2Day, building your position between 0.60–0.62 USD, with a target price set at 0.75 USD and a stop loss set at 0.57 USD.
2. Medium-term risk control: If you plan to hold until after July, please closely monitor the unlocking dynamics. If the market starts to retreat after realizing the benefits, consider reducing your position to lock in profits.
3. Long-term holding strategy: If you believe in the long-term development potential of PI, you should pay attention to the real landing situation of the ecosystem. Does the collaboration with Banxa bring actual payment landing? Is the AI module truly online? All of these will determine the “usability” and “monetization” level of PI.
4. Combining technology and news for judgment: Learn to view K-line charts, RSI indicators, and other technical data, and combine them with the project’s official tweets and forum announcements for comprehensive judgment, which helps reduce judgment errors.

Summary and Suggestions

The Pi Network is at a critical stage of transitioning from “speculation” to “application.” In the short term, the Pi2Day event serves as a catalyst for price rise, but the subsequent unlocking pressure is also a risk that must be taken seriously.

For beginners, moderate participation and position control are the most stable operating methods at this stage. As major events approach, you can choose to pay attention to announcements from exchanges like Gate and Binance, and use tools like CoinMarketCap to set price alerts in advance to grasp market dynamics in real time.

The future of PI may still be full of uncertainties, but today’s trend has already sent us an important signal: this project, which was once questioned as a “mobile mining game,” is gradually moving towards maturity and real-world implementation.
