Pi Coin (PI) once seemed like a sleeper hit: huge community, mobile mining appeal, and lofty promises of a fully usable token. But recent developments, including token unlocks, thin liquidity, and delayed product launches, are making many analysts believe PI could be headed for far steeper declines, potentially toward zero by 2026. If you're a holder or considering entry, this may be the most critical moment to pay attention.
Approximately 160 million PI tokens were unlocked in August, followed by successive months with over 100 million tokens scheduled for release. These unlocks increase supply drastically without corresponding demand. Also, the continued rolling unlocks (September through December 2025) could bring over 400 million additional tokens into circulation, raising pressure on price support levels.
There are also weak liquidity and access problems. PI is trading near $0.35, a far cry from its previous peaks. The market is fragile too, with volume being low relative to supply. Worse yet, some platforms are delisting margin pairs or restricting trades, making it harder for holders to exit.
The delays in mainnet progression, decentralized KYC, and real exchange-fiat integrations are hurting confidence. Roadmap items that promised to drive real transactional usage are still mainly in planning or beta phases. Altogether, technical issues are piling up: features like “Buy Button” integrations have had hiccups, and some wallet functionalities aren’t stable yet.
In case you’re wondering, here are some reasons cited for the possible collapse in value of the Pi Network by 2026:
Massive unlocks mean more tokens chasing fewer buyers. Without new strong demand sources, prices could be pushed down severely.
Delays, lack of clarity, and boring product updates contribute to growing skepticism. Once trust fractures, capital tends to flow out fast.
Newer projects with clearer product rollouts, better tokenomics, and real, actionable use cases (like Remittix) are pulling attention (and money) away. Investors may prefer utility and delivery over promise.
If exchanges delist or PI becomes harder to trade at scale, slight sell pressure could snowball. Also, large holders could trigger dumps when supply unlocks hit.
While PI is struggling with supply, utility, and delay issues, Remittix (RTX) is emerging as a contrast. Some of its recent accomplishments:
Over $25.5million raised in presale; 661+ million tokens sold at $0.1080 per token currently.
Confirmed listings with exchanges like BitMart and LBank; a beta wallet slated for launch next week supporting 40+ cryptos & 30+ fiat currencies.
Strong utility focus: crypto-to-bank remittance, real-time FX conversion, low fees, cross-border payment tools. These are the kinds of real use cases that many analysts point out that PI Network lacks reliably.
A 15% USDT referral program to boost viral growth is currently ongoing.
For investors currently holding PI, this may be a moment to reassess whether waiting is worth the risk. For those looking for upside opportunities, projects like Remittix are looking more attractive; not because they promise wild speculation, but because they deliver on product, utility, and roadmap clarity.
