Pi Network Slumps Near $0.20 as New KYC Milestone and Testnet Upgrades Fail to Lift Price

Fresh KYC gains failed to offset liquidity constraints or rising transparency demands.

Overview

  • PI trades near $0.205 after a drop of more than 90% this year, wiping out over $18 billion in value, with technicals suggesting a potential short-term rebound.
  • The Pi Core Team says 3.36 million additional users fully passed KYC following an AI-assisted migration that reviewed 4.76 million tentative approvals.
  • Developers received a new Pi App Studio upgrade plus testnet features for decentralized exchanges, automated market makers, and liquidity providers.
  • Market headwinds persist with daily volume reported under $30 million, ongoing token unlocks, limited exchange listings, centralization concerns, and no updated roadmap.
  • Community scrutiny has intensified with unverified claims of 1.2 million PI insider sales, PiScan-reported CEX outflows and large transfers, and renewed calls for wallet audits and a clear mainnet timeline.
