ESMA registers Pi Network white paper under entry 549 for PiBit Ltd in EU

On January 17, 2026, the European Securities and Markets Authority registered the Pi Network white paper under entry number 549, filed by PiBit Ltd, marking a formal step for the project in the EU. The registration does not yet make Pi an approved crypto asset under MiCA, as the project must still satisfy EU requirements on areas such as anti-money laundering, data protection, and financial reporting. Meanwhile, Pi Coin trades around $0.2051, up 0.28% in 24 hours but remaining over 90% below its all‑time price as daily volume drops 33%.
