Pi Coin is experiencing a healthy rally today. According to CoinGecko’s PI data, the 45th largest cryptocurrency by market cap has risen 6.4% in the last 24 hours, 17.2% in the last week, 19.6% in the 14-day charts, and 11.7% over the previous month. Despite the impressive rally, PI’s price is still down by more than 87% since late April 2025 and 93.4% from its all-time high if $2.99, which it attained on Feb. 26, 2025. Let’s discuss what’s behind Pi Network’s price surge.
What’s Pushing Pi Network’s Price Surge?
Pi coin has achieved a few milestones that may be causing a sentiment spike. The project took to X and shared that its 1 million decentralized workforce successfully completed KYC validation tasks for 526 million humans. This work force is available for AI platforms to use in the case of eliminating bot-related frauds. All payments for the massive work force will happen using PI via the Pi Launchpad platform.
Another major reason for Pi Network’s price surge could be the Protocol v22 upgrade. The v22 upgrade finally brings smart contracts to the project, a move that may have triggered a bullish sentiment among users. The project seems to be making substantial developments to bring more use cases and adoption to the PI ecosystem.
Pi coin has also made a name in the mobile mining sector. The project is leading the mobile mining industry with a $1.85 billion market cap, representing about 95% of the entire sector, which is comes in at $1.94 billion.
