The Pi Network’s mainnet will launch on Feb. 20, 2025, at 8:00 UTC, transitioning into what it calls the “Open Network period of Mainnet.” The price of Pi Network's token surged to $100 after the developers shared additional information about the upcoming mainnet launch. The Open Network launch will let Pi connect with other blockchains, allowing Pioneers to make transactions beyond Pi’s ecosystem.
However, after OKX announced it would list the controversial PI token, linked to pyramid scheme concerns in China, Bybit CEO has declined to list it. Meanwhile, Bitget removed information about the token after initially announcing its launch.
He shared that recently he was asked to join "Pi," but rejected the idea, calling it ridiculous. He also shared that during his time trading forex, he frequently dealt with people asking for refunds or returns of his money. “I really don’t want to get involved in the cryptocurrency world… Stay away from it,” he shared. 
However, the protocol stated that Pi aims to be a safe web3 space where Pioneers can connect with the Pi they hold. While Pi Network developers confirmed that its Open Mainnet will officially launch on February 20, however, there are delays in the KYC verification process. Users claim that Chinese traders have struggled with KYC verification due to limited slots or system issues, and even if they start now, they may not be approved in time for the token’s listing.
Pi Network users who spent years mining tokens are facing delays in completing the KYC verification, potentially preventing access to their holdings before the mainnet launch on February 20. The latest KYC deadline is set for February 28.
