Once hailed as the 'people's crypto,' Pi Network's token finally trades publicly—and immediately nosedives to historic lows. Six years of mining delays, KYC hurdles, and vague roadmap promises culminate in a brutal market reality check.

The hype bubble pops

Early adopters who hoarded Pi through years of 'testnet' purgatory now face a sobering truth: their tokens are worth less than the electricity used to mine them. The project's closed-loop economy—where users could only spend Pi on digital stickers and VPN services—failed to translate into real-world demand.

VCs laugh all the way to the bank

While retail investors nurse losses, Pi Network's founders reportedly cashed out during the 2023 'ecosystem building' phase—back when the whitepaper still claimed mass adoption was 'imminent.' Another cautionary tale in the crypto carnival, where the house always wins.

Pi Network Price Plunges 50% After Mainnet Launch – What Went Wrong?

The Pi Network’s token has experienced a price decline recently and has fallen to $0.4027. Investors and Pi supporters are unhappy and disappointed as the value tumbled to new lows.

Pi Coin continues to struggle in the market, hitting a new all-time low of $0.40003 just yesterday. As of today, it’s trading slightly higher at $0.405, showing a 2% drop in the past 24 hours.

Replying to the same, crypto analyst Dr. Altcoin said that many early Bitcoin and ethereum investors sold too soon and later regretted it, while those who held for five years saw life-changing profits.

He explained that PI may follow a similar path. With the price now at historic lows, he encourages investors to think long-term and consider accumulating more while prices are down. According to him, this could be the right time to plan ahead and stay patient rather than give up.

“Pi is currently at its lowest price ever, and I honestly don’t see it dropping any further,” he concluded.

My Answer: Whether you invest in Pi or not, five years will pass before you know it. As long as we are alive, time will not wait for…

Why Did Pi Coin Price Drop?

Pi Coin was launched in early 2025 and debuted at almost $3, but its price quickly fell due to a large token supply flooding the markets. Recently, the network released hundreds of millions of Pi coins added to exchanges, significantly increasing supply without a corresponding rise in demand. This massive imbalance between supply and demand pushed the price to its rock bottom,
