Pi Network Wallet Moves 2.8M Tokens from OKX

Published by

A mysterious wallet has grabbed the crypto community’s attention after on-chain data from PiScan revealed it has withdrawn millions of PI tokens from OKX. 

The wallet, tagged as ODM, now holds over 315 million PI, sparking speculation about a potential buyback strategy by the Pi Core Team or preparation for a major exchange listing.

PiScan Data Reveals Massive PI Token Accumulation

According to PiScan, the ODM wallet has received around 2.8 million PI tokens from the OKX exchange. This isn’t the first time it’s made waves—earlier, it withdrew 3.5 million PI tokens in a single move.

Currently, the wallet is sitting on over 315 million PI tokens, making it one of the largest holders in the ecosystem.

Who Controls the ODM Wallet?

As of now, the identity behind the ODM wallet remains undisclosed. However, rumors are circulating that it might be operated by the Pi Core Team as part of an internal buyback initiative.

Such strategic accumulation by a non-public wallet has drawn comparisons to early Bitcoin “Satoshi” wallet behavior, fueling speculation that Pi Network could be prepping for something big—perhaps an ecosystem upgrade, token stabilization plan, or exchange listing.

Is It an Official PI Buyback Wallet?

If confirmed, the ODM wallet may be part of an official buyback mechanism aimed at:

  • Stabilizing PI’s market price,
  • Enhancing liquidity for decentralized exchanges (DEXs),
  • Supporting developer grants and hackathons.

While the Pi Core Team has actively promoted development through hackathons, their position on price stabilization remains unclear.

PI Token Price: Volatile and Under Pressure

The PI token has seen a sharp decline:

  • Down 10.9% in the last 14 days,
  • Down 4.8% in the past week,
  • Down 2.2% in the last 24 hours.

This trend reflects growing pressure from token unlocks and circulating supply increases.

Concerns Over Token Unlocks Intensify

Between July 8 and July 15, over 100 million PI tokens were unlocked—1.5% of the total supply.
The largest daily unlock occurred on July 4, when 19.39 million tokens were released.
Looking ahead, another 137.85 million PI tokens are scheduled to unlock by month-end, with similar figures expected in August.

These unlocks are causing selling pressure, contributing to volatility in the market. Some investors fear further drops unless liquidity support mechanisms are introduced—possibly via wallets like ODM.

Why This Matters: Strategic or Speculative?

If ODM is indeed a Pi Core Team-controlled wallet, its activity could:

  • Provide short-term market stability,
  • Signal a major announcement or listing,
  • Support ecosystem growth through controlled accumulation.

However, until verified, the wallet’s role remains speculative, and the market is watching closely.

FAQs

Who owns the ODM wallet in the Pi Network?

The owner has not been publicly confirmed. Speculation points to a possible connection with the Pi Core Team for strategic accumulation or buyback.

Is Pi Network executing a token buyback?

It’s unconfirmed. However, if the ODM wallet is part of a buyback plan, it could help stabilize prices and support liquidity.

Why is PI price falling despite development efforts?

PI is undergoing large token unlocks, increasing the circulating supply and putting pressure on the price.

Is a PI exchange listing coming soon?

While nothing is confirmed, strategic token movements suggest possible preparation for a listing or ecosystem announcement.

How many PI tokens will unlock this month?

Over 137 million PI tokens are expected to unlock in the remainder of the month, adding to market volatility.
