Remember this important point:
The Pi Network project is a major financial and monetary revolution, arguably the greatest in human history. Earning money from Pi is primarily a humanitarian effort by the Q Alliance to distribute assets to people worldwide. Therefore, never compare or question the value of Pi against any exchange-listed coin—it will never be an accurate comparison.

Converting Pi to fiat currency right now is only temporary, so exchanges will have many restrictions based on PCT's requirements. Simply follow PCT’s instructions and use the exchanges designated by PCT. Converting Pi to fiat is secondary—the ultimate goal is to completely eliminate banks and fiat currencies, particularly the US dollar, as part of the Q Alliance’s mission.

Analysis & Prediction: How Pi Network’s Open Mainnet Will Reshape Crypto Exchanges and Markets

[[[ Listing Pi on exchanges is not for trading but for currency exchange! ]]]
[[[ No need to rush transferring Pi to exchange wallets! ]]]
[[[ The listing environment will be entirely different from traditional cryptocurrencies! ]]]

The Pi Network Open Mainnet will launch on February 20 at 8:00 AM UTC. Many crypto exchanges are actively promoting the listing of Pi, expecting to complete the KYB (Know Your Business) verification process and integrate with the Pi Network. However, some exchanges will face major disappointment as soon as the Open Mainnet launches.

The reason is simple: Pi is not just another cryptocurrency for speculative trading—it is a digital currency designed for real-world use.

With the launch of the Open Mainnet, the crypto exchange landscape and the broader financial market will undergo a massive shift, signaling a major transformation in the global financial order.

1. Immediate Changes After Pi Network’s Open Mainnet Launch

✅ ① Global Tech Giants May Announce Pi as a Payment Method
Several multinational corporations are rumored to be considering Pi as a payment method, based on the Global Consensus Value (GCV) of $314,159 per Pi.

Potential companies include:
✔ Over 1 million pioneers in the Pi Network community worldwide (240+ countries and territories)
✔ Amazon
✔ Google
✔ Apple
✔ Microsoft
✔ Tesla
✔ Twitter X (formerly Twitter)
✔ eBay
✔ Alibaba
✔ Many other companies

If these companies officially recognize Pi as an accepted currency, users will no longer need to buy or sell Pi on exchanges. Instead, they will be able to use Pi directly for purchases, services, and transactions.
➡️ As a result, exchanges expecting high Pi trading volumes may be caught off guard.

✅ ② 3 Million Pi Moved to Exchanges Will Return to Private Wallets
Before the Open Mainnet launch, approximately 3 million Pi were transferred to crypto exchanges.

However, if Pi’s real-world usability is confirmed at launch, most of these Pi coins will be withdrawn back to private wallets.
💡 This will create an extreme supply shortage on exchanges.
💡 With fewer Pi available on the market, the $314,159 GCV is more likely to be maintained.
➡️ As a result, exchanges may not see the high trading volumes they anticipated, and Pi holders will have little incentive to sell their Pi.
