Pi Network Under Fire: Insider Sell-Off Allegations Challenge Project Credibility
Pi Network’s market credibility faces intense scrutiny after a significant price drop and reports of suspicious insider wallet activity. Blockchain analytics show a transfer of 12 million PI tokens from a wallet purportedly controlled by the Pi Core Team within a 24-hour window, fueling accusations of opportunistic dumping.
The transactions coincided with Pi Network’s platform upgrade announcements at Consensus 2025. Industry analysts suggest insiders may have capitalized on the subsequent price rally, with one expert stating, "The CORE Team liquidated tens of millions—possibly hundreds of millions—of Pi at peak valuations." The community remains polarized, with some members defending the team’s integrity while others demand transparency.
