Pi Network: 60M+ users by Feb 2025. Mobile mining, mainnet launches today. ChatGPT & DeepSeek forecast prices. Best AI crypto coin to buy?
Pi Network, launched in 2019 by a team of Stanford PhD candidates, had grown to over 60 million users by February 2025. Its unorthodox mining lets users earn coins via a mobile app, avoiding energy-intensive hardware, which has boosted its popularity.
With the main net launched today, the crypto community is discussing AI value predictions for Pi Coin. Two prominent AI models, ChatGPT by OpenAI and DeepSeek from China, have provided detailed price predictions based on available data to this point.

Pi Network in 2025: A Detailed Look with AI-Powered Tools
Pi Network’s mainnet has officially launched, enabling users—or “Pioneers”—to utilize their mined Pi Coins. Its price hit $79.63, a 61.23% increase in a single day and a 62.49% rise over the past month, with a 24-hour trading volume surging by 128.36%.
On January 15, 2025, Pi reached a price of $75 per coin before mainnet. Today, some estimate a starting value between $61 and $70 post-mainnet.

Web sources like CoinGecko list the live Pi (IOU) price at $1.19, with a 24-hour trading volume of $25 million. However, these figures indicate pre-mainnet IOU trading rather than fully launched coins.
The difference in reported prices stems from the distinction between IOU and the actual coin’s value post-launch.
Here are the predictions from both AI models:
- ChatGPT’s Price Predictions
ChatGPT’s analysis offers three scenarios for Pi Coin’s price trajectory through 2030.
For 2025, ChatGPT estimates a range from $1 to $240. The lower end, $1, assumes limited adoption and regulatory challenges, while the upper bound, $240, hinges on widespread use and a robust Pi ecosystem. By 2028, ChatGPT projects a pessimistic price of $56, a neutral scenario of $175, and an optimistic climb to $240.
Looking further to 2030, the AI predicts a range of $106 (pessimistic), $341 (neutral), and $399 (optimistic), driven by factors like mass adoption and integration into everyday transactions.
ChatGPT bases its forecasts on Pi Network’s scaling ability with over 100 decentralized applications (dApps) reportedly in development. Moreover, growing real-world use cases shown at events like PiFest, could propel prices upward. The AI also considers listing on major exchanges like Binance or Coinbase as a catalyst, a point echoed by DeepSeek.
- DeepSeek’s Price Predictions
DeepSeek, the Chinese AI model, presents a more bullish outlook. The baseline for 2025 starts at $40, with a potential peak between $200 and $500 if Pi gains traction post-mainnet.
DeepSeek identifies a key resistance level at $100; failure to break this could see prices retreat to a $40-$50 support zone. By 2030, DeepSeek envisions a price exceeding $500 in a “success worldwide” scenario, where Pi becomes a globally accepted digital currency with tangible use cases.
DeepSeek’s optimism comes from specific catalysts. It highlights Binance listing as the mainnet launch’s immediate aftermath.
The AI also points to over 60 million users and an expanding ecosystem, including dApps and partnerships, as drivers. If trading volume spikes post-launch, DeepSeek sees Pi hitting $80-$100 initially, with sustained momentum to push it it to $136-$200.
ChatGPT and DeepSeek agree on several factors shaping Pi Coin’s value: adoption rates, ecosystem development, and exchange listings. ChatGPT’s $240 ceiling for 2025 contrasts with DeepSeek’s $500, with differing levels of optimism about adoption speed.
By 2030, ChatGPT’s $399 will be below DeepSeek’s $500+, showing that the latter anticipates a stronger global foothold. Both AIs note the importance of the mainnet transition.
