The post Pi Network News: Here’s Why The Core Team Allegedly Sold 1.2 Million Pi Tokens appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The Pi Network core team allegedly executed a sell-off of roughly 1.2 million Pi tokens on Wednesday, sparking concerns about the token’s stability. Pi has already been struggling to maintain its value, and this latest move adds pressure to an already fragile market.
Possible Reasons Behind the Sell-Off
Pi is currently trading at $0.2011, with a market capitalization of $1.66 billion. Rather than supporting demand or enhancing the token’s value, the core team sold a large portion of their holdings.
Experts have observed that the team may have few alternative options for liquidity. Since Pi currently lacks utility or revenue-generating mechanisms, selling tokens may be the only available method for the team to access funds. Without functional applications or income sources, such sell-offs could continue unless the ecosystem develops new ways to create value.
“I’ve said many times that it’s our Core Team selling Pi because they don’t have any other source of income. Pi doesn’t have any real utility or anything that generates revenue, so their only option for liquidity is to sell Pi,” one crypto commentator said.
Challenges for the Pi Network
The token is hovering near a new low, highlighting the need for sustainable growth. Analysts note several key areas where Pi must improve:
Real-world utility: Introducing practical applications could drive adoption and demand.
Decentralization: Enhancing governance and network independence may boost confidence.
Transparency: Clearer communication around token transactions and decision-making is critical for credibility.
Calls for Immediate Action
Dr Altcoin, a crypto expert who supports Pi despite its challenges, urged the core team to take immediate steps. When Pi hit its first new all-time low in October, he recommended using a coin burning mechanism to reduce supply and support the token’s value.
