设置Pi钱包并完成24个助记词备份，方可安全转移代币
CEX和P2P平台通常都需要KYC来转移和出售Pi币。
您可以通过CEX或P2P平台出售Pi，每个平台提供不同的安全性、速度和控制。
在出售或持有之前，一定要自己做研究（DYOR），因为专家对Pi未来的看法各不相同。
如果你在这里，你可能已经知道Pi币是什么，只是想弄清楚如何出售它。但是，如果你需要的话，可以回顾一下。
虽然该项目将自己定位为通过移动挖矿实现加密访问民主化的方式，但有一些重大问题很难忽视：
Pi声称拥有超过6000万用户，但区块链探索者显示只有约911万个钱包，日活跃用户接近20000人。
Pi主网发布六年后，从技术上讲，它仍然是“封闭的”，完全由核心团队控制。
通货膨胀是一个主要问题：流通供应在短短一年内翻了一番，截至2025年初约为55.6亿枚代币。
强制性的了解你的客户（KYC）流程引发了严重的隐私问题，特别是区域验证器处理用户数据时。
尽管运营成本低，但严重依赖应用内广告，以及旨在让用户参与但没有明确实用性的策略。
2024 年 2 月底，Pi Coin 在部分交易所开始出现早期交易时，达到了约 2.98 美元的历史最高点。 自那以后，它几乎是一路下滑。
截至2025年4月28日，Pi币的交易价格约为0.62美元，这意味着它已从峰值下跌了约79%。 更糟糕的是，它没有显示出复苏的迹象； 价格正危险地徘徊在历史最低点附近，大多数交易所的流动性都很低，交易量也在减少。
因此，随着对该项目未来的担忧日益加剧，市场也表现出了些许信心，许多早期矿工和持有者认为，也许是时候弃船了。
下面就是具体操作步骤。
一旦你决定出售你的Pi币，第一步就是将你的硬币放入你控制的钱包中，为此，你需要设置一个钱包。 以下是如何开始。
首先，下载Pi Browser应用程序，可在Google Play商店和App Store上使用。 安装完成后，打开它并前往浏览器内的“wallet.pi”页面。
在那里，您将通过设置Pi钱包来获得指导。 这是一个快速的过程，但不要急于求成。当您创建钱包时，您将获得24个助记词。 这一点至关重要：Pi Network不会为您存储密码。 如果你丢失了它，你将永远无法访问你的钱包和你的Pi。 所以，把它写下来，离线存储，并保存在安全的地方。
If you get stuck or want a walkthrough, the Pi Network’s official support portal has detailed instructions.
Setting up the wallet is only half the job. To actually move your Pi Coins over, you’ll first need to complete KYC verification.
Open your Pi Network app, go to the KYC section, and follow the prompts to verify your identity. Once your KYC is approved, you’ll unlock the ability to transfer your mined coins.
From there, head to the Mainnet Checklist in the app, which will walk you through the final steps. Once everything’s checked off, your transferable balance will be sent straight to your Pi Wallet.
Heads up: The transfer isn’t always instant. Sometimes, there are delays, especially if the network is busy, so don’t panic if it takes a little time. Just make sure your app is updated and that you’ve finished all the required steps.
Once that’s done, you’re finally ready to move on to selling.
Did you know? Even though Pi Network transitioned to its open mainnet in February 2025, users are still required to use the official Pi Wallet for withdrawals, with the network citing security and KYC requirements.
Now that your Pi Coins are in your wallet, you have two main options for selling them: centralized exchanges (CEXs) or peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. Each has its own pros and cons, depending on how much security, speed and control you want.
If you want the most straightforward experience, CEXs are the way to go. These platforms offer a structured environment where trades happen quickly — and there’s usually more buyer demand, too.
As of April 2025, here are a few CEXs where you can sell your Pi Coin:
OKX: Supports multiple trading pairs (such as PI/USDT, PI/TRY, PI/USD, PI/EUR and PI/BRL). Fees are fairly low (0.08% for makers and 0.10% for takers) and withdrawal fees vary depending on what you’re moving out.
MEXC: Offers pairs like PI/USDT, PI/USDC and PI/EUR. The nice thing here? 0% maker fees and 0.05% taker fees, making it a cost-effective option.
Gate.io: Lists the PI/USDT pair. Trading fees are 0.1% across the board. Just be aware that Gate.io requires full KYC verification before you can start.
Bitget: Also offers PI/USDT trading, with 0.1% fees. However, Bitget isn’t available in certain countries (including the US), so check if you have access before signing up.
KYC is usually required — expect to submit ID documents.
Trading pairs matter — if you want USDT, make sure the exchange offers it.
Fees vary, so compare platforms if you’re selling a big chunk.
Liquidity counts — the more active the market, the better the prices you’ll get.
First, you’ll need to create an account on a crypto exchange that supports Pi trading. Sign up just like you would for any online service. After that, you’ll be asked to go through KYC verification by uploading ID documents and sometimes even a short selfie video to prove you’re real. It’s a bit of a hassle, but without it, you won’t be able to trade.
Once your account is set up and verified, it’s time to deposit your Pi Coins. Log in to your new exchange account, head to the “Deposit” section, and choose “Pi Coin” from the list. You’ll get a special wallet address — copy that address carefully. Then open your Pi Wallet, paste the deposit address, and send your coins over. Transfers can take a little time depending on network traffic, so don’t stress if it’s not instant.
When your Pi Coins show up in your exchange balance, you’re ready to sell. Go to the trading area and find the right trading pair; for most people, it’ll be PI/USDT (selling Pi for Tether, a popular stablecoin).
You can either sell at the market price if you want it done fast or set a “limit order” if you’re willing to wait for a better price.
Finally, once your Pi is sold, you’ll have USDt (USDT) (or whichever currency you chose) sitting in your account. From there, you can withdraw your funds — either converting it into fiat like the US dollar or euro and sending it to your bank or transferring your crypto to another wallet.
If you prefer dealing directly with another person, you can also sell your Pi Coin through P2P platforms. These give you more flexibility, but they do come with more risk.
Some options include:
Coinskro: A P2P platform built specifically for Pi transactions, accessible through the Pi Browser.
Telegram and Discord communities: Some Pi trading communities are pretty active, but you’ll need to vet who you’re dealing with carefully.
Always use escrow services (Coinskro offers this) to hold funds until both sides confirm.
Verify the person you’re trading with — check their history if you can.
Never overshare personal or banking information.
If it’s your first time trading with someone, start with a small amount to test trustworthiness.
Did you know? In 2022, peer-to-peer (P2P) payment fraud losses in the United States reached an estimated $1.7 billion, marking a 90% increase over the previous year.
Once you’ve picked a platform, you’ll usually create an account, and depending on the service, you might have to verify your identity, too. From there, you’ve got two options: 1) You can either list your Pi Coins for sale (saying how much you’re offering and at what price) or 2) if you want to move faster, browse existing buy offers.
If you see someone already looking to buy Pi for USDT (or another currency you want), you can simply respond to their ad instead of setting up your own. This can be a quicker way to get a deal done without having to wait for a buyer to come to you.
When you find a match and agree to the terms, always use an escrow service whenever possible. Escrow will hold the buyer’s payment safely while you transfer the Pi Coins, adding a critical layer of protection for both sides.
The buyer sends their payment to the escrow system → you transfer your Pi Coins to their provided wallet address → once they confirm they’ve received the coins, the escrow releases the money to you.
It’s smooth and low-stress as long as you stick to the platform’s rules.
If you’re considering going outside of an escrow system — say, because someone offers you a “better deal” — be extremely cautious. Always use secure, traceable payment methods, never overshare personal or financial info, and if it’s your first time dealing with someone, start with a small amount to test trustworthiness before committing to a bigger sale.
If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably still weighing the big question: Should you sell your Pi Coin now or hang on a little longer?
This article has covered a lot of the red flags — from the sluggish mainnet rollout to inflation concerns and privacy issues — but it’s only fair to point out that the future isn’t written in stone. There are still some experts out there who see a path for Pi Network to grow.
For example, analysts at CoinCodex predict Pi Coin could average around $1.71 in 2025, with highs potentially reaching up to $2.94. Over at CoinDCX, its forecast puts Pi trading between $2.75 and $2.80 by the end of the year, assuming everything breaks in Pi’s favor: a full mainnet launch (because it operates with a “firewall” that restricts external connectivity), growing adoption and better overall market conditions.
Of course, these are just predictions — not guarantees. And if you’ve spent any time in crypto, you already know that things can swing wildly in either direction.
That’s why the golden rule applies here: do your own research (DYOR). Expert opinions can be helpful, but they aren’t a substitute for doing your own homework. Double-check sources, stay skeptical, and always think about your own financial goals and risk tolerance before making a move.
Regardless of whether you decide to sell your Pi now or ride it out and see what the future holds, make sure it’s a choice you’re comfortable with (and one that fits your bigger financial picture).
