Pi Network Maps 50 Million $PI as Mainnet Supply Grows

Quick Take

Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed.

  • Pi Network mapped 50 million $PI to the mainnet on September 17–18, 2025.

  • Mapping paused hours later, but many large accounts were included.

  • 8.14 trillion $PI migrated, 5.06 trillion locked, 3.07 trillion unlocked.

  • Price rose to around ₹54–₹56 ($0.64) after the update.

Pi Network is running on the batch release system. The team will map coins one step at a time in order to avoid unexpected pressure in the market. By issuing all the tokens at the same time, the risk was always that a number of them would sell quickly and this would drive prices down. It is wiser to wait as some users say. They say later map or later, there is more likelihood of holding your coins until prices increase. The fact that early mapping can be tempting people to sell at the low price can make them do so.

Market Reactions

Price has been affected by the news on mapping. In India, Pi was retailing at ₹54 -56 (around 0.64). It is enhanced relative to the former levels of 0.34-0.36. Forecasts remain mixed. Analysts reckon that Pi will rise to 0.75-1.20 in 2026 and even 5-9 by 2027 in case of further adoption. There are positive forecasts that are far more numerous, since they presuppose that Pi will be actually in use and transaction.

The fact that the mapping was stopped a few hours after the incident was doubtful. This might have been due to technical inspection or deliberate laxing of the procedure. The safety is also a concern. One of the reports revealed that 601 $PI was stolen out of a user account and that shows that wallet security is not a concern. Even when there are no material exchange listing, it is hard to sell or redeem coins by the holders.

The Pi Core Team believes that the coins that people mine will at some time be mapped. Its implementation is being done in stages and more rounds can be expected. Mapping will not only be the one that will decide the future of Pi. The network should possess apps, services and huge exchange listings on a solid foundation. The major updates will involve mapping events with regard to price and community feeling up to the time.
