Pi Network Price Stability Tied to Mainnet Progress and Whale Activity

Pi Network’s potential price recovery is increasingly being tied to the success of its mainnet upgrades and broader technical progress, according to recent developments. As of August 2025, the network has seen a stabilization in price above $0.40, partly attributed to whale accumulation of about 4.5% of the circulating supply. However, challenges persist in the form of delayed exchange listings and ongoing governance concerns, which continue to weigh on investor sentiment [1].

The leadership team, including Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan, has remained focused on technical milestones rather than public recovery strategies. Recent announcements highlight new partnerships with Onramp.money, Transfi, and Banxa, aiming to streamline token purchases via KYB verification. These collaborations suggest efforts to improve accessibility within the Pi ecosystem [1].

Despite these efforts, the network has yet to secure formal listings on major exchanges, limiting liquidity and trader participation. This delay mirrors similar issues seen with the SUI token, which analysts note can constrain price potential. Additionally, governance remains largely centralized, raising concerns among investors who are accustomed to decentralized models in the broader crypto space [1].

Historical data indicates that layer-1 networks like Solana have seen price rebounds following mainnet launches. However, Pi Network has yet to demonstrate a clear path to similar success. Analysts from Crypto Market Insights observe that while mainnet upgrades may provide a foundation for recovery, the slow pace of integration with major exchanges and unresolved governance issues continue to present obstacles [1].

The project’s roadmap emphasizes node stability and dApp integration, but the absence of confirmed institutional investment remains a concern. With no new funding rounds announced, Pi Network’s focus appears to be on expanding its node base and building out its decentralized application ecosystem. However, these efforts must be matched by tangible results in terms of functionality and real-world utility to gain broader acceptance [1].

In summary, Pi Network’s price trajectory remains speculative without the full operationalization of its mainnet. Investors are advised to approach long-term predictions with caution until the platform demonstrates clear utility, liquidity, and transparency. The coming months will likely determine whether the network can overcome its current limitations and position itself as a serious player in the global crypto market [1].
