Why Pi Network Could Struggle to Reclaim Its All-Time High

Published by

Pi Network’s price is currently $0.2156, down 4.8% in the last 24 hours, reflecting ongoing market pressure. Experts say reclaiming Pi’s all-time high may be difficult due to structural and market factors.

Why Pi’s Price Faces Headwinds

One major factor holding back Pi is the daily unlocking of tokens, which steadily increases the circulating supply. As more pioneers gain access to previously locked balances, selling pressure intensifies, making upward price movement harder. 

Additionally, Pi’s value depends heavily on real-world adoption and utility. Without clear use cases or mechanisms to encourage long-term holding, demand may struggle to outpace the growing supply. This combination of increasing liquidity and limited external utility makes reclaiming past highs a steep challenge.

Understanding Pi’s Dual Value System

Professor and programmer Kamel Kadah, a Pi pioneer, recently introduced a live dashboard for Pi’s Dual Value System, designed to make the network’s dynamics easy to follow. This system measures two types of value: Internal Value, which is stable and ecosystem-driven, and External Value, which reacts to market trends.

The Internal Value, currently at $314,150, represents the value within Pi’s ecosystem, including activity across 127 Pi apps. Stability is extremely high at 99.6%, and internal trading volume reaches $562.8 million with 1.8 million active transactions. This internal value is driven by Pioneer consensus rather than global market speculation, offering a safe and consistent foundation for daily use like buying, selling, or gifting Pi.

The External Value, currently $40.5908, fluctuates with global supply, demand, and economic trends. With 12.4% volatility, Pi is listed on 8 exchanges, and 24-hour trading volume is $40.6 million. The contrast between internal and external values highlights the strength of the Dual Value System: stability within the ecosystem and flexibility outside in the market.

Pi Network’s Growth and Stats

Pi continues to grow as a digital economy. Currently, there are 142 active apps and 2.4 million daily transactions. About 76% of pioneers have completed KYC, and the network now boasts 59.9 million pioneers. The next Pi Day is just 3.3 days away, marking another milestone for the community.

Bridging the Gap Between Internal and External Value

Pi’s internal value is roughly 17.77 times higher than its external market value, with a gap of around $314,087. Analysts say that if current trends persist, the two values could converge within 18 months. 

FAQs

Why is Pi Network’s price struggling to recover its all-time high?

Rising token unlocks and limited external demand increase selling pressure, making it harder for Pi to return to past price levels.

What is causing daily selling pressure on Pi Network?

Newly unlocked tokens enter circulation each day, adding supply and giving pioneers more liquidity to sell, which weighs on the price.

What is Pi’s Dual Value System and why is it important?

It tracks Pi’s Internal Value, driven by ecosystem activity, and External Value, based on market trends, showing how Pi grows inside and outside the network.
