Pi Network Token Unlocks Spark Sell-Off Fears—Just as Crypto Markets Needed Stability
Pi Network’s looming token unlocks have traders bracing for volatility. The project—once hyped as the ’people’s crypto’—now faces its first real liquidity test.
Market impact: Early miners could dump billions of tokens into thin order books. Pi’s closed mainnet phase kept price discovery artificial—now reality bites.
Timing couldn’t be worse: The unlocks coincide with a fragile crypto recovery. Nothing says ’decentralization’ like insiders cashing out before retail can exit.

Despite these warning signs, optimism lingers among Pi’s most devoted supporters. Unverified claims that Binance may list Pi soon have rekindled some enthusiasm, as has the anticipated appearance of founder Nicolas Kokkalis at Consensus 2025. Recent integrations with chainlink and Telegram’s crypto wallet are also being viewed as steps toward broader utility.
For now, Pi trades quietly at $0.66, with traders cautiously watching whether fundamentals or HYPE will dictate its next move.
