Pi Network Pressured on Utility as Market Cap Hits $3.4B

Pi Network is facing growing pressure to prove its utility, even as its market cap climbed to $3.4 billion. Over the past seven days, the token’s price dropped 5.52%, falling from a peak near $0.51 to $0.44. Trading volume over the past 24 hours reached $103.79 million.

The circulating supply of Pi now stands at 7.71 billion, with a total and max supply capped at 100 billion. The network’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) sits at $44.13 billion. Despite the numbers, the price decline and user sentiment paint a different picture.

Community Calls for Action, Not Promises

On social media, prominent Pi community voices are pushing the Core Team to shift from planning to execution. “Now that the network has completed years of preparation and testing, the @PiCoreTeam needs to move forward and faster,  not backwards,” wrote The Times of PiNetwork on X.

Another user, @PiFortunemarket, echoed the sentiment, criticizing delays in rolling out tangible utilities, especially after the long-awaited mainnet launch. The tone across Pi-focused channels has turned critical, urging leadership to lead with deliverables instead of roadmaps.

Innovation or Delay?

In defense, Pi’s supporters argue the project remains innovative. “Pi Network combines the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum,” wrote @Dr_Picoin. While citing the network’s $100 million Pi Ventures fund and AI App Studio as key innovations. Still, the market’s reaction suggests investors are looking for more than announcements.

The seven-day price chart shows a clear pattern: a short-lived rally followed by a steady drop. The price spike midweek pushed Pi close to $0.51, but it quickly corrected, retreating nearly 14% from the weekly high. This volatility adds to concerns about the token’s real-world traction.

Outlook Hinges on Real-World Adoption

With a market cap already larger than several exchange-listed altcoins, Pi’s next challenge is converting hype into use cases. The token’s absence from major exchanges remains a limiting factor for liquidity and wider adoption.

Until the Pi Core Team delivers more practical applications and utility-based partnerships, investors may remain cautious. For now, Pi Network sits at a crossroads, supported by community loyalty, but weighed down by unmet expectations.
