Pi Network’s $179M Token Unlock Threatens Price Stability as 337M PI Hits Markets
Pi Network faces a critical liquidity test as 337 million Pi tokens—worth $179 million at current prices—begin unlocking this week. This release represents 4.1% of circulating supply, with 1.4 billion tokens scheduled to enter markets within the next 12 months.
Historical data shows similar unlock events have triggered 30-77% price corrections across crypto projects. Pi's lack of major exchange listings and enterprise partnerships creates illiquid conditions that may exacerbate selling pressure during this supply shock.
