New Pi Coin Seller Lists 3 Coins at $314,159 Each on OKX Amid Stagnant Market

Pi Coin (PI) shows minimal price movement, trading at $0.65 with a slight 1% uptick, while the broader crypto market gains strength. The asset has been range-bound between $0.60 and $0.68 for weeks, testing investor patience.

A new game app, Fruity $PI, launches on Pi Network’s Mainnet Ecosystem, joining a growing suite of decentralized applications designed to boost engagement. The development contrasts with an unusual market event: an anonymous seller listing three PI tokens at $314,159 each on OKX—a price point resembling the mathematical constant pi.

Community sentiment remains divided between Optimism for ecosystem growth and frustration over price stagnation. The exorbitant OKX listing appears symbolic rather than transactional, highlighting the speculative nature of emerging crypto assets.
