Pi Network (PI) experienced a 25% dip in price following the release of 8 million tokens into circulation, causing the value to drop from $1.40 to around $1.10.
A significant increase in trading volume, reaching $1.63 billion, was observed, with a single transaction involving 90 million PI tokens, indicating whale trades influencing market direction.
Concerns arise over the upcoming release of 13 million more PI tokens on May 15, potentially leading to further price declines if demand-side fundamentals can't absorb the increased supply.
Speculation around a potential listing on centralized exchanges, particularly Binance, mounts as the Pi Core Team is expected to make an announcement on May 14, one day before the next token unlock.
