Pi Network’s cryptocurrency (PI) has seen a price surge of over 10% in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.63 as anticipation builds for the project’s appearance at Consensus 2025 in Toronto. The price movement comes after months of decline following February’s mainnet launch.

The mobile-focused cryptocurrency project, which boasts over 55 million users worldwide, is preparing for what many believe could be a defining moment in its development. Pi Network’s founder, Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, is scheduled to speak at the event, which runs from May 14-16.

On May 8, the Pi Core Team announced via social media that “A Pi ecosystem announcement will be released on May 14. Tune in to find out what’s coming next!” This cryptic message has fueled speculation among the project’s large community.

Exchange Listing Speculation

Adding to the excitement are signs that major cryptocurrency exchange Binance may be preparing to list the PI token. A cryptocurrency researcher identified as CRYPTOAD00 shared evidence that Binance-linked wallets are testing PI transactions on the mainnet.

The researcher noted that a Binance Stellar deposit wallet matches a Pi Network wallet showing recent activity. A second wallet has also been observed sending 1 PI in what appears to be verification testing.

While neither Binance nor Pi Network have officially confirmed these rumors, community platform Pi Barter Mall claimed on May 1 that negotiations between the two entities were in the “final stage.”

HTX exchange has also posted cryptic messages on social media that some interpret as hints about a potential PI listing. Justin Sun, a prominent advisor to HTX, will be speaking at Consensus 2025 alongside Dr. Kokkalis.

Trading volume for PI has decreased from $1.3 billion to approximately $45 million in recent months, a 96% decline that reflects current liquidity challenges.

Token Unlock Concerns

As listing speculation grows, the Pi Network faces pressure from scheduled token unlocks. Blockchain data shows more than 668 million PI tokens will enter circulation between May and July 2025.

The unlock schedule includes 212.2 million tokens in May, 222.6 million in June, and 233.4 million in July. This influx of supply comes at a time when trading volume has significantly decreased.

Centralized exchanges are gradually accumulating more PI tokens, with Bitget holding over 95 million and OKX approximately 154 million. Exchange reserves have more than doubled since February, raising concerns about potential selling pressure when unlock dates arrive.

The token has experienced a substantial price decline since its mainnet launch in February, falling from $3 to current levels around $0.63. This represents a drop in market capitalization from $15 billion to approximately $4 billion.

Potential Catalysts for Growth

Technical analysis suggests PI may be forming a falling wedge pattern, which some traders interpret as a potential sign of an upcoming bullish breakout. The price consolidation in recent weeks could represent an accumulation phase before a potential upward movement.

Pi Network has recently secured partnerships with blockchain platforms including Chainlink, and Telegram has begun supporting Pi in its cryptocurrency wallet. These integrations could help drive broader adoption if liquidity and trading opportunities improve.

Some community members speculate that the May 14 announcement could involve an ecosystem fund to support developers building applications on the network, similar to initiatives launched by other major blockchain projects.

The timing of Consensus 2025 in Toronto – the city where the world’s first Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were launched – adds symbolic weight to Pi Network’s appearance at the event.
