Despite BTC at $107K, PI, PUMP, and ConstructKoin (CTK) Refuse to Stop – Why?

Bitcoin’s dipping to $107K this week has the broader crypto tape following suit, with alts nursing 3-5% losses as volatility plays its usual tricks. But in the face of this action, a rogue squad of three is charging ahead unchecked: Pi Network’s PI, pump.fun’s PUMP, and ConstructKoin’s CTK, each outperforming the rest of the market over the past seven days.

PI’s ecosystem bets are igniting retail fire, while PUMP’s inescapable launchpad is fueling Solana’s meme machine. Meanwhile, CTK’s presale is putting ReFi – that’s tokenized real estate – on the map. Here’s why they’re outrunning BTC and the rest of the chasing pack.

PI Goes Sky High With 20% Weekly Rally

Pi Network’s PI has been the mobile-mining darling waiting for its moment, and this week it delivered in spades – surging 20% to $0.24 as of October 30, leaving the market’s dip in the rearview with volume soaring 60% into the bargain. The spark may have been Pi Ventures’ backing of AI robotics powerhouse OpenMind, unlocking real-world blockchain apps from supply-chain bots to decentralized edge computing.

There’s been a lot going on in PI land lately, including the decision by the Swedish stock market to start hosting Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) based on Pi Network. Who had that development on their crypto bingo card? With catalysts aplenty keeping the PI token prepped to move higher, the next price target has to be $3.14. 

pump.fun’s Acquisition Drama Drives PUMP Rally

Over on Solana, PUMP – the token powering pump.fun’s memecoin launchpad – is the ultimate volatility vampire, up 14% for the week, aided by broader network-wide tailwinds that are benefiting SOL in equal measure. With the network on the verge of completing a major upgrade that should double throughput, there’s good reason to be bullish on PUMP right now. What’s good for Solana is great for its preeminent launchpad.

This potent cocktail has also been spiked by token burns, which may be a gimmick but they’re something that traders love as it provides an event that drives volume higher – and with it tidy profits for those who’ve timed their entry just right. PUMP is effectively a proxy for how well pump.fun is doing, and with the number of token launches having climbed sharply this month, it’s no surprise that PUMP is living up to its name.

ConstructKoin (CTK) Presale Captures RWA Capital

While PI and PUMP dominate the Swedish stock market and memecoin trenches respectively, ConstructKoin’s CTK presale is this week’s other major surprise. It’s no surprise that the event was coming, but the level of demand for the presale appears to have surpassed all expectations. While not fully filled yet, it’s odds on to complete this week, paving the way for everything that comes next – and that’s a whole lot.

ConstructKoin promises yield to CTK stakers that could run as high as 12%, paid in USDT, all derived from a real estate loan book on AI-vetted developments. In theory, this capability will slash deals to minutes, automating the complex and convoluted process of loan vetting. This is ReFi for the people, allowing anyone to put money into funding brick-and-mortar developments and then to earn interest on their investment. 

Where Next for Crypto?

BTC's $107K stall is the ultimate litmus test: where do we go from here? Whatever the market decides, PI, PUMP, and CTK’s presale aren’t flinching. As November prepares to get started, keep close tabs on this trio. They’ve survived Uptober 2025. You wouldn’t bet against them thriving in November.
