Pi Coin Slides Toward October Low as Daily Unlocks Weigh on Price

Fresh U.S.–EU trade tensions intensified volatility for a market with limited buyer depth.

Overview

  • PI traded near $0.189 after a 7–8% 24‑hour drop, putting it close to its October 2025 low of about $0.1585.
  • Data from PiScanUnlock show more than 4.6 million PI unlock daily, with roughly 139 million projected to unlock over the next 30 days as of Jan. 19.
  • Subdued liquidity and modest trading activity, with recent daily volumes around $28–32 million, leave prices vulnerable to sharp moves.
  • The latest slide coincided with market turbulence following new U.S. tariffs and an EU response that unsettled risk assets when Asian markets opened.
  • Analysts cite ongoing listing and adoption challenges, including hesitancy from major exchanges, as factors damping investor confidence.
