The post Pi Network Crashes 25% Amid 8 Million Token Unlock, Will Binance Listing Save it? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Pi Network (PI) saw a sharp price drop today, falling around 25% to trade near $1.10. This sudden crash came just after a strong rally that pushed the token’s price to a peak of $1.29, and even as high as $1.40 on some exchanges.
The recent dip happened at the same time as an 8 million PI token unlock, which added fresh supply to the market and likely put pressure on the price. And it may not be over yet — on May 15, another 13 million tokens are set to be unlocked, raising concerns about further price drops.
Just a day before this crash, Pi Network was making headlines for its massive trading activity. In the past 24 hours, PI’s trading volume soared to around $1.9 billion. The price surged by more than 100% during this period, driven by large transactions from major holders. One transaction alone saw 90 million PI tokens move, which caught the attention of retail traders and sparked fresh excitement.
What’s Next For Pi Coin Price?
There were also rumors about a possible Binance listing, along with growing anticipation for an announcement from the Pi Core Team expected on May 14. Pi could still drop to around $0.80 or even $0.60, and may fall further if the development team doesn’t share a major update on May 14.
Despite today’s correction, some traders remain hopeful about Pi Network’s future. Many believe the token is still in its price discovery phase — a period when new cryptocurrencies experience price swings before settling into a stable range. Supporters argue that while setbacks are normal in crypto, the project could bounce back strongly in the coming days.
