- Pi tokens are now viewable in Telegram’s wallet, but sending, receiving, and withdrawing remain strictly restricted.
- Developers have until May 28 to migrate apps on PiNet and claim domains without auction-based competition.
The Pi Network is once again gaining the spotlight this week as two urgent updates ripple through its developer and user community. While one announcement opens a new door for holders, another signals a deadline that developers can’t afford to miss. However, these updates failed to drive the Pi price as Pi’s market price is already under pressure.
Update #1: Telegram Wallet Integration
One of the key developments came from Pi News, a media outlet focused on the Pi ecosystem, boasting more than 1 million followers. Their recent update confirmed that Pi coins are now visible within Telegram’s official wallet—an integration that raised both excitement and eyebrows.
🚨 BREAKING: You can now see $PI in Telegram's official wallet 🚀
⚠️Condition:
• You can only buy, sell, or store $PI in the wallet.
• You will not be able to send $PI to your Telegram contacts, withdraw it to an external wallet, or receive it from anyone. ❌#PiNetwork pic.twitter.com/z0jI2dWqlL— Pi News (@PiNewsMedia) March 25, 2025
Users can now buy, store, and hold their Pi tokens within the Telegram app. However, the limitations are glaring. Tokens are not to allowed to be sent to contacts, withdrawn to external wallets, or received from other users. While some in the community saw this as a symbolic step forward, others were quick to note that functionality is still severely restricted.
This partial rollout leaves holders waiting for more meaningful utility before drawing conclusions about the future role of Telegram in Pi’s long-term strategy.
Update #2: PiNet Migration Deadline Extended
On the developer side, the Pi Network’s official X account brought the second major update. It announced that developers now have until May 28 to complete the PiNet migration and claim their app domains without having to participate in auctions.
Pi community apps that have complied with Ecosystem listing guidelines and completed PiNet migration by May 28th, 2025 can secure their domains without bidding, with certain requirements and restrictions. Read the blog on this topic to learn more: https://t.co/Z4KW0JOC1T

This grace period was offered because many developers missed the earlier migration window. The extension gives those still lagging a last shot to lock in their domains—but with conditions. Apps that complete integration will have their domains automatically reserved. Failing to migrate means the domain stays up for bidding.
To secure their place, developers need to register their URLs through the Pi Developer Portal and configure how their app appears—fullscreen or mobile view. For safety, the initial app address will include a random string. Once registered, apps should show up in the users’ dashboard and be optimized to include non-pioneer visitors as well.
The update blog concluded, encouraging developers to “update their user flow in order to give non-pioneers the opportunity to experience as much of the application as possible.”
Pi Coin Price Slips Below $1
Alongside these updates, the token’s price has slipped under $1, landing at $0.92 after a 3.50% daily dip. Even with a broader market rebound, Pi hasn’t followed suit.
From its earlier 2025 high of $3, Pi’s value has plummeted by more than 65%. The supply situation is growing more complicated. As of March 25, data shows nearly 99.3 million Pi tokens, valued at roughly $91 million, are set to unlock over the next 30 days, putting steady pressure on the market.
Schedule reveals that on April 3, a massive 6.8 million tokens will enter circulation—marking the largest single-day unlock. April is expected to see a total of 115.57 million Pi unlocked, followed by 182 million in May and 222 million in June, raising fears of extended selling pressure.
