Pi Network is down 14.31% today, on the one day the community had circled on the calendar for months. The broader crypto market fell just 1.61% in the same window. The gap between those two numbers tells the real story of what is happening to PI right now, and it is not as alarming as it looks.
However, PI surged 55% over the past 30 days. Today’s drop is the natural consequence of that kind of run.
The Utility Case Is Still Being Built
Beyond the price, in an interview with Coinpedia, Dr. Altcoin pointed to a growing ecosystem that most critics overlook entirely.
“Over 46,000 apps have been created by the community using the Pi AI App Studio and are currently awaiting approval,” he told Coinpedia. “More than 300 applications, including gaming and e-commerce platforms, are already live on mainnet and actively used by over 2.1 million users.”
He also flagged the DEX and AMM functionality currently in testnet, describing it as a catalyst that has not yet been priced in. “Once the Pi blockchain protocol upgrade is completed, these features are expected to be deployed to mainnet,” he said, adding that real world asset tokenisation on the Pi Network is also in active development.
On volatility, his assessment was blunt: “At this stage, traders have more influence than users. Over time, as merchant adoption increases and ecosystem apps generate consistent daily transactions, price behaviour should become more stable and less driven by short-term speculation.”
Exchange Listings Remain the Key Unlock
With Kraken having listed PI yesterday and Pi Day arriving today, the community had built significant expectations. Dr. Altcoin acknowledged the community’s frustration but pointed to what matters most long-term.
“Listings alone do not sustain price. Sustainable value comes when exchange access is matched with real ecosystem demand from users and businesses,” he said. “Exposure through tier-1 exchange listings such as Binance, Kraken, or Coinbase would significantly broaden awareness and liquidity, supporting both ecosystem growth and community confidence.”
The community has waited nearly seven years, he noted, and price appreciation must eventually follow if Pi Network is to maintain long-term trust.
One to Watch
Dr. Altcoin also revealed the project he is monitoring most closely outside of PI: InterLink Labs, a mobile mining crypto project launched in March 2025 that has already grown to over 6.3 million users with 3.7 million daily active participants.
For PI today, the selloff stings. But on a day when the DEX is launching and the Kraken listing is live, the fundamentals have not moved backward. The price has. Those are two different things.
