rewrite this title Pi Network Price May Return To $0.40 Soon, Here’s why

Pi Coin is currently down by more than 6% and is trading at $0.74. In the days leading up to the Consensus event, Pi Network saw a speculative rally, jumping more than 150% to $1.50 amid rumors of a major ecosystem announcement scheduled for May 14. However, when no big update was delivered, the token’s value quickly reversed course.

As of this writing, Pi has dropped more than 70% from its peak. Daily trading volume also declined by over 44%, suggesting reduced buying interest. Analysts warn that without a major catalyst, Pi could return to its historical low of $0.40.

Adding to investor frustration was the announcement of Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million investment initiative aimed at funding decentralized applications and ecosystem projects. While this was initially viewed as a positive step, community confidence waned when the Pi Core Team stated that the fund could be paused or canceled at any time.

Transparency and Accountability Needed

According to Dr. Altcoin, a crypto analyst, the issue lies in unclear communication and repeated delays by the Pi Core Team. “The promise of 100 DApps was not just a bonus—it was essential,” Dr. Altcoin said. “Without real utility, Pi risks becoming just another overhyped token.”

He stressed the difference between speculative “memecoins” and functional ecosystems, urging the Pi team to shift from promotion to performance. The analyst estimates it may take another 2.5 to 5 years for Pi Network to fully deliver on its ecosystem goals. While he remains positive about the project’s long-term success, he stresses that it won’t happen on the original timeline the community expected.
