Pi Network’s crypto token PI briefly rose over 3.5% to about $0.078 after a mining app redesign, but remains down roughly 22% over the past week and about 97% below its February 2025 peak of $2.99 after touching an all-time low near $0.071 on July 14. Circulating supply is 10.9 billion of a 100 billion cap with ~4.25 million PI unlocking daily (≈$333,672), creating ongoing sell pressure ahead of the Protocol v25 upgrade on July 22 that adds privacy-preserving smart contracts and aims to improve security and adoption.

Pi Network’s coin, PI, rose by more than 3.5% over the past 24 hours, outpacing a broader crypto market that lost nearly 3%.

The rise came as Pi Network began a design refresh of its mining app. The gain offered brief relief for a token that hit a record low days earlier. PI traded near $0.078, though it remains down more than 22% over the past week.

Pi Network Price Bounces Off a Record Low

PI touched an all-time low near $0.071 on July 14. The token has since recovered roughly 11% from that level.

Even after the bounce, PI trades about 97% below its February 2025 peak near $2.99. Its 30-day loss stands at roughly 42%.

Rising supply has weighed on the altcoin already stuck in a downtrend. About 10.9 billion PI circulate against a maximum of 100 billion, leaving room for further dilution.

According to PiScan data, roughly 4.25 million PI unlock each day, worth about $333,672 at current prices. That steady daily release adds fresh sell-side pressure with each session.

The redesign lands ahead of Protocol v25, scheduled for July 22. The upgrade aims to improve network stability and add privacy-preserving smart contracts.

Whether the update push can offset supply-driven selling remains the key test. The July 22 upgrade will show if utility gains start to translate into demand.
