Pi Network Releases 8.7M PI Tokens During Peak Holiday Spending Period
On December 25, 2025, Pi Network unlocked 8.7 million PI tokens as part of its planned supply distribution schedule. The release strategically aligned with a surge in holiday commerce activity across its ecosystem, where more than 125,000 merchants now accept PI for goods and services.
A concurrent wallet update introduced enhanced user interfaces and improved token display features, further bolstering the network's real-world payment utility. Unlike open-market cryptocurrencies, Pi's enclosed Mainnet economy currently insulates it from immediate speculative price reactions to supply increases.
The project continues to Tether its token releases to tangible development milestones rather than market speculation. This methodology underscores its foundational commitment to fostering organic, utility-driven ecosystem growth over short-term price volatility.
