- Pi coin has lost 27% in the past month and now trades at $0.2658, targeting the $0.30 resistance level.
- In the fourth quarter, the network’s hackathon and V23 Upgrade could propel PI even closer to its ATH.
Pi Network is stepping into Q4 2025 with big plans that could spark new interest, expand real-world utility, and hopefully turn its market momentum around. Over the past week, Pi’s price has slipped by 9.54%, and losses over the past month now total around 27%.
At the moment, Pi is trading near $0.2660, giving it a market cap of about $2.19 billion and a daily trading volume of roughly $25 million. The decline has pushed the token out of the top-50 list of cryptocurrencies, with Pi now sitting at rank 52.
Adding to the pressure, PiScan data shows that around 136 million PI tokens, just over 1% of the circulating supply, will be unlocked in October. That kind of supply increase can weigh on prices unless it’s balanced out by stronger demand. Even so, Pi’s Q4 roadmap can shift the sentiment.
Key Events in Q4 2025
One of the highlights for Pi Network in Q4 2025 is the Pi Hackathon 2025, which kicked off on August 15. The challenge is to build an app that strengthens the utility of Pi by encouraging people to engage with the ecosystem and solve real user needs actively. Developers are also invited to tap into community contributions by creating open-source projects through Pi Open Source (PiOS).
There are major prizes on the line: 75,000 Pi for first place, 45,000 Pi for second, and 15,000 Pi for third. The final submission deadline is October 15, when teams must deliver their app listing via the Developer Portal, along with a demo video and submission form.
Beyond the competition itself, the hackathon is all about attracting developer talent and showcasing practical, viable use cases that can push Pi’s ecosystem forward.
Back in mid-September, Crypto News Flash confirmed that the Pi team has plans to move from Protocol Version 22 to the much-anticipated Version 23, a key step in its gradual upgrade from Testnet1 and Testnet2.
The update is designed to make the network faster and more reliable, with features like fast-track KYC automation, stronger data processing, and fewer manual errors slowing things down.
By streamlining user onboarding and boosting overall security, Version 23 lays the framework for broader adoption and confidence in the project despite not getting listed by cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, ByBit, and Crypto.com.
In the first week of October, Pi Network will take the stage at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, where co-founder Dr. Chengdiao Fan will speak on blockchain’s real-world utility. This event will draw 25,000 attendees from over 160 countries and more than 1000 side events, serving as an opportunity for Pi’s leadership to gain exposure, build partnerships, and network.
Alongside this, the .pi domain auction, which was extended through September 30 after initially being slated to close in June, gave developers the chance to secure unique Web3 identifiers to enhance Pi’s branding and usability. Still, despite the symbolic value of these domains, the impact on adoption has been limited so far, with Pi’s price hitting new lows.
It’s a reminder that while branding initiatives matter, lasting growth depends on deeper development and real-world use cases.
