Pi Network crash crisis: 200 million tokens unlock impact on the market. and the investment alert behind the price halved

## Pi Network crash crisis: 200 million tokens unlocked to impact the market, and the investment alert behind the price halved A torrent of nearly $100 million swept the market, and Pi Network fell alone in a carnival where Bitcoin hit a record high. When Bitcoin broke through the historical high of $122,000 in July 2025, the **Pi Network token plummeted against the trend to around $0.46, just one step away from the historical low. The decline exceeded 25% in just one month, and the collapse coincided with the torrent of more than 200 million Pi tokens unlocking the ** in July. The data on the chain coldly reveals the cruel reality: on July 4 alone, 19 million Pis poured into the market, worth nearly 10 million US dollars. And greater selling pressure continues - from June 28 to July 15, the total 2.76 million Pi token unlocking plan is still releasing selling pressure. --- ### 1. Three major fuses of the price collapse - **Token unlocking tsunami**: The unlocking volume of more than 2 million Pi this month directly impacted the market, equivalent to 1.5% of the total supply being released in just one week. This centralized release creates a classic supply and demand imbalance in which “too many sellers and insufficient buyers”. - **Pi2Day expectations failed**: The annual celebrations that the community had high expectations failed to bring any substantial benefits, but instead accelerated the collapse of investor confidence, with prices falling by another 25% during the period. - **KYC and migration bottlenecks**: The delay in the identity verification process and the technical obstacles to mainnet migration have seriously hindered the real user adoption and ecological development of the network, causing Pi to fall into the dilemma of "no use of coins". Analyst Dr. Altcoin pointed out incisively: "The basic work of the project has been completed, but the tokens are still not mature. ** Before the price reaches $10 and the real DApp utility is launched, the delay is intentional to prevent large-scale sell-offs." ### 2. On the technical chart of technical indicators and centralized disputes, Pi has formed a clear downward wedge structure, and $0.35 has become the key support level. Although the RSI indicator is close to the oversold area (current value of 38.25-40.16), MACD still maintains a dead fork pattern, indicating that any rebound may be a flash in the pan. Deeper crises come from the trust level. There was a heated debate in the community, and the allegations from user @pineworkmember resonated: "**The project will never be truly decentralized**". The core team is questioned that it retains absolute power through node control and back-end architecture design, and even chooses Stellar blockchain because it is compatible with centralized control. While Bitcoin has won 62.4% of the market share (total market value of $3.75 trillion) with a transparent, trustless architecture, Pi's ** centralized governance model is becoming the core driver of investors' withdrawal. ### 3. The cruel divergence from the market carnival The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a carnival: Ethereum returns to $3,000, and mainstream altcoins such as Solana have set new highs. **Bitcoin has increased by more than 30% this year**, and institutional funds continue to pour in through ETFs. Pi Network became an outsider to this feast. Its trading volume plummeted 31.79% in 24 hours, leaving only US$134 million, and the alarm about liquidity exhaustion has sounded. What is even more worrying is that on-chain tracking found that a large number of whale addresses transferred Pi to exchanges such as OKX and Gate.io, which was suspected to be on sale, although the team remained silent about this. ### 4. Price forecast: Differences from the abyss to the dreams. Market analysts have a rare split on Pi's future path: - **Short-term (within 2025)**: Most predicted prices will fluctuate in the range of $0.32-0.47, and may drop to $0.35 in August. The CoinCodex model even predicts a drop to $0.361 by the end of the year. - **Mid-term (2026-2028)**: April 2026 is regarded as a key turning point, and the optimistic scenario is $1.28**. But it may fall back to the $0.61 average in 2027. - **Long-term (2030)**: Extreme predictions have significant differentiation - conservative estimates are US$2.00 (328%), while ** radical predictions call for a sky-high price of US$500-1,000**, provided that Pi can become a global payment tool and attract hundreds of millions of users. *Table: Comprehensive Analysis of Pi Network Price Forecast (2025-2030)* | **Time Range** | **Pessimistic Forecast** | **Neutral Forecast** | **Optimistic Forecast** | **Key Catalyst** | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ USD 33-67.8 | USD 500-1,000 | Global large-scale applications, over 1 billion users | ### 5. Ecosystem competition: Pi's fatal shortcomings The core dilemma of Pi Network lies in the lack of practicality. When rival Remittix (RTX) raised over $16 million with a clear roadmap to solve cross-border payments, Bitcoin Hyper won $2 million with a pre-sale of Bitcoin Layer2 expansion narrative, Pi was still stuck in the early stages of the “**Mobile Mining Trial**”. Remittix's killer PayFi wallet supports zero banking fees and sub-second fiat currency exchange, while Pi's closed main network environment cannot even support basic DeFi applications. This utility gap has led to accelerated capital escape – wise investors are turning Pi positions to projects with instant revenue models like RTX. ### 6. Fund migration: The next generation of value capture has opened up the market to pursue efficiency and returns forever. When Pi is trapped in the unlocking quagmire, the new generation of projects are making money at an astonishing speed**: - **Remittix (RTX)**: Pre-sale at $0.0811, integrating Web3 wallets with instant fiat currency channels, 50% token reward mechanism triggers a snap-up - **Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER)**: Combining Bitcoin security and Solana virtual machine speed, it provides 395% annualized staking income. 130 million tokens have been locked in. The common point of these projects is that they avoid the trap of "token first, product, and product" and have built runnable products before the token is circulation. On the other hand, after the main network has been migrated for half a year, the real business scenario is still almost blank. ### 7. Investor Survival Guide: Rational Choice in the Storm Faced with the violent fluctuations of Pi, professional traders are adopting a two-polar strategy: - **Short-term Band Strategy**: Layout rebound in the support area of 0.35-0.38, targeting resistance at USD 0.47, 5% drop is a stop loss - **Long-term Holding Conditions**: Consider rebuilding positions only when Pi breaks through the upper track of the USD 0.60 downward channel and the daily trading volume is stable above USD 200 million, consider rebuilding positions - **Held Configuration**: Control Pi's position within 5% of the portfolio, and simultaneously configure high-efficiency new projects such as RTX and HYPER to diversify risk crypto analyst Sara Sethiya warns: "In most altcoins rising markets, **The token's continued decline has caused serious problems**. It needs more than hype -**It requires hard utility, transparency and timely execution**." --- Institutional funds are quietly turning: Remittix proves the money-making ability of practical tokens with a pre-sale of $16 million, and Bitcoin Hyper's staking contract has locked 130 million tokens. These projects do not make the promise of "main network migration", but directly allow users to exchange fiat currency for cryptocurrency. **When the Pi Network core team still controls node approval rights and application listing rights, a capital migration led by the real utility revolution is unstoppable. ** The history of blockchain never waits for latecomers - the question is, has the millions of users of Pi Network become the price of this revolution?
