Pi Network Surges 35% After Chainlink Integration – Could Price Increase by 220%?
After months of silence, Pi Network has suddenly returned to the crypto market spotlight with a strong increase of 35% in a week. The main driver of this price surge is the important integration with Chainlink – one of the world’s leading decentralized oracle networks. Analysts are now expecting that Pi can continue to increase by more than 220% in the near future.
Pi Coin Returns to the Race
As of April 14, Pi Coin is trading around $0.75, up sharply from $0.63 in just a few days. The short-term high of $0.78 was set right after the announcement of Chainlink integration on April 12 – representing a gain of about 23% in a few hours. Despite a slight correction since then, Pi’s total market capitalization has remained around $5.14 billion, placing it in 24th place on the list of crypto assets by capitalization.
This is a big step forward, especially since Pi had dropped nearly 48% last month. With this acceleration, Pi is attracting attention not only from the user community, but also from institutional investors.
Why is Chainlink a “golden piece” for Pi Network?
To understand Chainlink’s impact, it is necessary to look at the role of oracles in the blockchain ecosystem. Blockchains, by design, cannot access off-chain information on their own. Therefore, for smart contracts to function effectively – such as lending, mortgages, or asset valuations – they need a reliable source of data. Chainlink solves this problem by providing a real-time, secure, and tamper-proof source of data.
With this integration, Pi Network has made a huge technical leap. It opens up the potential to develop DeFi applications such as:
Pi collateralized lending platform,
Decentralized trading,
Blockchain games with integrated rewards,
NFTs and other financial services.
Not only that, Chainlink also opens up the possibility of connecting Pi with other blockchains such as Ethereum, Avalanche, helping Pi step into a large network of applications and increase the practical value of this token.
The Pi Network ecosystem is expanding - but there are still barriers
According to a report from Pi Network, more than 10.14 million users have migrated to the mainnet since its launch on February 20. This is an impressive number, but still quite a distance from the 100 million users that the project announced.
Of these, only about 19 million have completed KYC, a necessary step to transfer Pi tokens and participate in applications. The KYC process is considered a “bottleneck” of the ecosystem as many users are still experiencing verification issues, slow support, or technical errors that prevent them from accessing their assets.
Despite these obstacles, Pi continues to build its ecosystem with more than 100 decentralized applications (dApps) in operation or in the pipeline, including:
E-commerce,
Gaming,
Finance,
NFTs, and more.
Notably, the Pi Ads Network, where developers can monetize ads paid for with Pi Coins. This is considered the first attempt at creating a true economic ecosystem based on Pi, rather than just a token that stores value.
Pi Coin Price Prediction: Another 200% Increase?
According to CoinCodex’s forecast, Pi Coin’s price could increase by 228% to $2.48 by mid-May 2025. Short-term trend patterns are also bullish, with most technical indicators (SMA, EMA from 3 to 21 days) giving “buy” signals.
However, not all analysis is optimistic. DigitalCoinPrice gives a more conservative prediction, with an average price of around $1.53 in 2025, ranging from $0.66 to $1.66 depending on market developments.
It is worth noting that Pi is still in its infancy. The token has only officially started trading since February 2025 and has not been widely listed on major exchanges, which limits liquidity. In addition, the uncertainty about the unlocking policy and KYC success rate could significantly affect the circulating supply in the short term.
Conclusion: Great Opportunity Comes with Significant Risks
Integrating with Chainlink helps Pi Network strengthen its technical foundation and open new doors for DeFi and real-world applications. However, the biggest hurdles currently remain the KYC process and liquidity.
If Pi Network can thoroughly solve the user verification problem and expand trading capabilities on major exchanges, Pi could become one of the largest mainstream blockchain projects in the world.
However, for investors, Pi is still a high-risk asset that requires caution when making decisions. As always: invest wisely, only use the amount you can afford to lose.
