Pi Network's MiCA Compliance Submission Sparks Market Optimism Amid Price Stagnation

25.11.2025 04:54

Pi Network's native token, PI, is currently trading near $0.2380, reflecting a 1.54% decline over the past 24 hours, yet it has posted a 6% weekly gain despite broader market struggles, with Bitcoin falling 10% in the same period.

From November 19 to 20, 2025, Pi Network submitted its MiCA Compliance Whitepaper (v1.1) to EU regulators, marking a significant step toward regulatory alignment after seven years of development. The document emphasizes transparency, with no ICO, private sales, or fundraising, and all tokens mined by real users, ensuring a fully auditable supply.

This compliance effort positions Pi as one of the few large crypto communities ready to operate under Europe's MiCA framework, potentially unlocking access to a 450-million-person market. Additionally, Pi's energy consumption of just 0.0024 TWh annually—over 99.9% lower than Bitcoin—enhances its appeal in Europe's strict green-finance environment.

In August 2025, Valour listed a Pi ETP on the Nordic Spotlight Stock Market, allowing European investors exposure through brokerage accounts, though it is not a full exchange listing. The public distribution phase begins on November 28, 2025, which could drive demand if followed by major exchange listings.

However, risks persist: over 175 million PI tokens are set to unlock in the next 30 days, potentially increasing selling pressure, and exchange holdings have surged by 1.6 million in 24 hours, with over 432 million PI now on platforms like Gate.io, signaling possible investor moves to sell.
