On January 21, Pi Network published a new PDF technical document on its official website minepi.com, showing that it has completed key compliance requirements under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). This development indicates that Pi is paving the way for legal operations within the EU framework and is expected to create conditions for Pi Coin to be legally circulated in the European market. Previously, due to regulatory restrictions under MiCA, Pi faced difficulties conducting related business in most European countries, but this situation is now changing.
From recent developments, Pi has begun to appear in some parts of Europe in the form of compliant financial instruments, such as the Valour Pi ETP, which is now listed on a regulated market in Sweden. This is seen as the first step for Pi to enter the European financial system. With the public release of the MiCA document, further signals are being sent that Pi Network aims to obtain legal status across the entire EU. Once this goal is achieved, relevant platforms will no longer face compliance barriers when launching Pi Coin, and Pi’s market coverage will expand accordingly.
Meanwhile, Pi Network is advancing an AI-driven KYC upgrade. The new AI verification system can review user identity information more efficiently, reducing manual intervention and significantly shortening verification cycles. Many users have already completed migration to the mainnet through this system, and the second phase of migration is ongoing. Faster KYC processing means more real users can unlock and use their Pi assets, directly boosting network activity and on-chain transaction volume.
In terms of underlying architecture, some community members have discovered that Pi nodes based on Stellar technology are processing ledgers and transactions in real-time on Linux servers, demonstrating that Pi Network now has enterprise-level operational capabilities. This infrastructure not only supports higher throughput but also ensures long-term stable operation.
With MiCA compliance, AI KYC, and a robust node network gradually in place, Pi Network is transforming from an early mobile mining project into a compliant blockchain ecosystem for global users. For investors and users interested in the future development of Pi Coin, 2026 may become a key year for its mainstream market entry.

Pi Network PIRC baseline protection mechanism sparks controversy, implying a “quasi-stablecoin” logic
Pi Network member Daniel F raised a logical contradiction in the PIRC token design, noting that if it has a 23.8% floor protection, it would need to behave like a stablecoin, which conflicts with its high volatility on CEX. This floor is based on Pi’s price calculations; if Pi itself fluctuates significantly, it will be unable to effectively protect holders. Daniel emphasized the importance of transparency, but the project team did not respond to it, leading the community to continue speculating about the reasons for its silence.
