Pi Token Avalanche Incoming! Will Your Wallet Sink or Swim?

by

According to the oracles (also known as “people with spreadsheets”), a truly heroic avalanche of Pi is about to tumble noisily into the market every day this week. If you’ve ever wondered what it’d look like if your wallet braced itself and put on goggles, this might be it. 📈💥

Unlock Schedule: Or, How To Watch a Pi-Storm in Slow Motion

Feast your eyes on this majestic chart! (Yes, another chart. The world has too few.)

Every day, somewhere between 7 and 10.5 million Pi tokens will sashay into the world, with all the grace of a sumo wrestler on roller skates. That’s the equivalent of $4.3 million to $6.1 million daily, assuming you trust the exchange rate and/or your dog’s opinion on macroeconomics.

What Might Happen to Pi’s Price (Or: Please Remain Calm, Mostly)

If you’ve ever passed a bakery and suddenly been less excited about your croissant because ten million more croissants appeared, you already get supply and demand. Too many “exclusive” Pi tokens pouring in = the price could go on a slide faster than Thursdays at an office park.

Possible Scenarios, Ranked by Your Potential Heart Rate

  • Sellers’ Conga Line: Newly-minted Pi holders, eager to “take profits” (or just buy an espresso), might jump to sell. Too many conga dancers, not enough chairs—down goes the price! 🕺💃
  • Token Soup: With extra ingredients ladled in, each spoonful tastes a little less special. Scarcity drops, and so can the price. Soup analogies don’t lie.
  • Panic! At the Pi-Disco: People might also panic before the unlocking even starts, because nothing moves a market quite like the power of dread and doomscrolling. 🪩
  • Clutching Demand: If, somewhere, a stampede of Pi fans appears—perhaps because of a shiny new app or real purpose for the token—the impact could be muted. But it would have to be a truly impressive stampede. Think wildebeests, not garden snails.

Meanwhile, the Pi Network team is presumably doing Important Strategic Things (sip coffee, drop hints on Twitter, plot bold new alliances, maybe sacrifice a spreadsheet at dawn). Anything that increases utility or burns tokens could soften the landing, or at least let everyone keep their hats on.

Glances at the Past, Wild Guesses for the Future

Some background for those who find history soothing: Pi Network flipped on its open mainnet in February 2025, leading to exciting trading opportunities and, in some cases, minor panic attacks. The price has since danced around more than a hedgehog on a trampoline.

The crystal-ball industry is divided. Some analysts expect a Pi rally, maybe inspired by big flashy events like the shocking Consensus Summit in mid-May 2025 (bring snacks—these things run long). Others see the relentless flow of tokens as a reason to hold onto their hats, or possibly flee the theater. The lack of many exchange listings and still-elusive “real-world usage” keeps things spicy (or terrifying, if you invested heavily).
