A forecast suggests that Pi Coin's (PI) long-term token unlock volume could decrease significantly starting in 2029. However, the figures currently being discussed are not an official confirmed monthly supply plan from the Pi Network core team, so the actual scale of unlocks and their impact on price remain to be seen.

Monthly Unlock Volume in 2029 Projected to Fall to as Low as 2,488 PI

DKINGS104, an active member of the CoinMarketCap community, posted Pi Coin's future unlock schedule on the 25th, claiming that monthly unlock volumes could decrease considerably in 2029.

According to the data released by DKINGS104, the projected unlock volume for July 2029 is 3,405 PI. It is expected to temporarily rise to 15,722 PI in August, before falling again to 2,488 PI in September, 2,841 PI in October, 2,698 PI in November, and 3,694 PI in December.

The poster interpreted this as a signal of slowing supply growth compared to earlier unlock phases, arguing that if the volume potentially entering the market decreases, Pi Coin's supply pressure would ease and could become a positive long-term factor for price.

Community Projections... Must Be Distinguished from Official Monthly Supply Plans

However, it is difficult to directly link such forecasts to a rise in Pi Coin's price. These figures must be distinguished from materials officially released by the Pi Network core team confirming monthly unlock volumes for 2029.

Pi Network has been proceeding with mainnet migration in phases through official channels. The project has indicated plans to transition to a regular migration system after the second migration, but details such as future migration frequency remain subject to change. Therefore, discrepancies may arise between long-term unlock estimates presented by the community and the actual volume circulating in the market in 2029.

Token Unlocks Are Just One Factor in Supply-Demand Analysis

In the cryptocurrency market, token unlocks are one of several factors used to assess supply and demand. If large volumes are released into the market over a set period, potential sell pressure may increase, whereas if unlock volumes shrink, the burden from new supply may be relatively lower.

However, Pi Coin's future price is likely to be determined by multiple variables beyond unlock volume, including existing circulating supply, whether holders sell, trading liquidity, mainnet migration, and actual usage demand within the ecosystem.

Ultimately, what needs to be confirmed from this forecast is whether actual unlock volumes decline in 2029 as currently expected. If the pace of supply growth slows, changes may emerge in Pi Coin's long-term supply-demand environment, but at this stage, uncertainty remains before concluding that this means increased scarcity or a price rise.
