According to data shared by PiScan, Pi Network is expected to unlock about 775.8 million PI tokens by the end of 2026, entering an important supply transition period; these unlocks are based on claimable balances, including balances locked by users and tokens distributed by Pi’s core team. Crypto analyst Travladd warns that Pi’s long-term unlock plan could trigger sell-off pressure.
PiScan unlock data: 127.5 million tokens in 30 days
Based on PiScan’s latest data, Pi Network’s unlock situation is as follows:
Total Pi currently locked: 6.17 billion Pi
Pi to be unlocked within the next 30 days: 127.5 million Pi
Estimated value to be unlocked: about $10.5 million
Average daily unlock amount: about 4.25 million Pi
Highest single-day unlock amount during the tracking period: about 103 million Pi
Token unlocks do not equal immediate selling; some users may continue to hold, lock, or use Pi within the ecosystem. However, as claimable balances increase, the unlock timetable may continue to be adjusted.
Long-term warning from analyst Travladd
Analyst Travladd issued a warning about Pi’s long-term unlock plan. He estimates that from now to June 2029, Pi’s total unlock value could be about $505 million; of this, about $1.713 billion will be unlocked within the next 12 months. He pointed out that if the PI price rises, the dollar value of the portion being unlocked in the future may also increase, which could prompt some holders to sell Pi, thereby creating ongoing sell-off pressure.
Trader Ography also noted that the 127.5 million PI tokens scheduled to unlock within the next 30 days are an event closely watched by the market. The key support area is around $0.075 to $0.078; if it breaks below this range, it could intensify sell-off pressure and lead to higher volatility.
Technical support and resistance: $0.07–$0.078 support zone
Another analyst’s technical assessment shows that after PI bounced up from the recent low of $0.0751, it is forming an ascending wedge pattern. Buyers are holding the $0.07 support level; if it can break above the resistance at $0.0834 and trading volume rises in tandem, the short-term outlook may improve.
The analysis indicates that the market’s focus is still on price movement and trading volume rather than short-term market sentiment; the key support area remains around $0.075 to $0.078, and if it falls below, it could intensify sell-off pressure.
FAQ
How large is Pi Network’s token unlock by the end of 2026?
According to PiScan data, Pi Network is expected to unlock about 775.8 million PI tokens by the end of 2026; the unlock amount in the next 30 days is 127.5 million Pi, with an estimated value of about $10.5 million, and an average daily unlock of about 4.25 million Pi.
Does token unlocking necessarily mean the PI price will fall?
Token unlocking increases the number of PI tokens that can be obtained, but it does not equal immediate selling—some users may choose to continue holding, locking, or using Pi within the ecosystem. Only if the speed at which new supply enters the market exceeds the growth speed of demand could it create additional price pressure; analysts Travladd and Ography both point out that $0.075–$0.078 is the key support area in the near term.
What impact does the v25 protocol upgrade have on PI token unlock pressure?
The v25 protocol planned to be deployed in July 2026 will strengthen network infrastructure and increase privacy-protecting smart contract functionality. If the upgrade can expand ecosystem usage, the market may be able to absorb more unlocked PI. If demand remains weak, the planned version release may still put pressure on the price.
