Pi Network’s PI Token Plummets 20% Amid Unstake Surge

Pi Network’s PI token experienced a 20% price drop within a week due to increased token unlocks and declining community confidence, lacking official commentary from core leadership as of August 3, 2025.

The event highlights concerns over network security and economic stability, catalyzing fears about the sustainability of projects with sudden liquidity changes, affecting investor confidence in similar decentralized ecosystems.

Pi Network’s PI token has fallen by over 20% in a week, with increased token unlocks and reduced mining rates as contributing factors. Community confidence has waned, partly due to a lack of commentary from leadership.

“As of August 3, 2025, neither Dr. Kokkalis nor Dr. Fan has made public statements on their Twitter, Medium, or official Pi Network blog regarding the latest price drop or the unlocking event.”

Co-founders Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan have not addressed the recent price drop or token unlock events publicly. This leadership silence is further unsettling the community, who rely on consistent updates.

The PI token price decline mainly affects Pi Network, with a $0.34–$0.36 range from previous levels. There is no significant impact reported on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Increased supply of over 19 million PI tokens and speculative activities have raised open interest in Pi Coin derivatives to $30 million. The community remains anxious about failed transactions and unmet utility development promises.

Historically, similar unlocks have led to price declines if not coupled with positive developments. Previous major unlocks in 2025 also resulted in similar downward price movements due to increased supply and lack of confidence.

Potential outcomes include continued price volatility and regulatory focus if market instability persists. While leadership silence remains, technological or regulatory responses might arise to stabilize the asset’s ecosystem in future events.
