How to Sell Pi Coin

Step 1: Transfer Pi Coins to a Supported Exchange

To sell Pi, you first need to transfer your coins from the Pi Network Wallet to an exchange that supports Pi trading, such as Bitget, OKX, or Bitrue. Follow these steps:

Access Your Pi Network Wallet

Open the Pi Browser and navigate to your Pi Network Wallet.

Unlock your wallet using your passphrase.

Find Your Exchange Deposit Address

Go to Bitget, OKX, or another exchange that supports Pi.

In the deposit section, search for Pi Coin (PI) and copy your unique deposit address.

Initiate the Transfer

Return to your Pi Wallet and select “Pay / Request”.

Choose “Manually Add Wallet Address”, then paste the deposit address copied from the exchange.

Confirm the transaction and wait for the transfer to be processed.

Step 2: Sell Pi for USDT on an Exchange

Once your Pi tokens are credited to the exchange, you can sell them for USDT (Tether) or another trading pair.

Go to the Spot Trading Section

Once Pi trading goes live on Bitget (Feb 20, 2025, at 8:00 AM UTC), search for the PI/USDT trading pair.

Place a Sell Order

Choose a market order (instant sale) or a limit order (set a preferred price).

Confirm the trade and exchange your Pi for USDT.

Step 3: Withdraw Your Funds

After selling Pi for USDT, BTC, or ETH, you can withdraw your funds in different ways:

To a Crypto Wallet: Transfer USDT, BTC, or ETH to Trust Wallet, MetaMask, or a hardware wallet for safekeeping.

To Fiat Currency: Use P2P trading to convert USDT to USD, EUR, INR, or other fiat currencies, then withdraw it to your bank account.

Important Notes Before Selling Pi Coin

Not all users can sell immediately: If your Pi is still in the Enclosed Mainnet, you cannot sell or transfer it yet. You must complete KYC verification and migrate to the Mainnet first.

Pi Coin’s market reaction: With Pi Coin already hitting $92 after the mainnet launch announcement, the market price may fluctuate significantly once trading begins.

Once exchanges like Bitrue officially start trading Pi, it will be interesting to see how the market responds to this long-awaited launch.
