The price dropped 0.63% to $0.9062, a 44% decline from its peak of $1.62. The fall came as the market reacted to the Pi Foundation\u2019s latest announcement, which failed to meet expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/pi-network-sets-100m-venture-fund-to-power-real-world-use-cases\/\">Pi Network<\/a> hinted at a major development scheduled for May 14. This teaser spurred a rally that saw the token gain over 200%. However, the eventual news triggered a sharp reversal in price, erasing nearly half of those gains.<\/p>\n<p>Although the announcement centered around a new $100 million venture fund, the market did not respond positively. The fund aims to support startups building on the Pi Network. Still, the long-term nature of the initiative did not provide immediate price support.<\/p>\n<h2>Pi Network Token Falls Despite Ecosystem Push<\/h2>\n<p>On May 14, the <a href=\"https:\/\/moneycheck.com\/pi-network-pi-price-can-the-100m-venture-fund-save-the-falling-token\/\">Pi Foundation<\/a> introduced a venture capital fund focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/jpmorgan-chase-jpm-stock-climbs-after-first-public-blockchain-treasury-deal-with-chainlink-and-ondo\/\">blockchain<\/a> innovation within the Pi Network. The fund will invest in ecosystem projects to create real-world use cases and build platform utility. However, the move did not trigger sustained price momentum.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\ude80 Huge Day Tomorrow for Pi Network!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 Major Ecosystem Announcement: The Pi Core Team is set to unveil big news on May 14, 2025\u2014expect game-changing updates!<br \/>\ud83d\udd38 Consensus 2025 Begins: Pi Network takes the global stage in Toronto alongside blockchain giants like Ethereum and\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6cvEyegUod\">pic.twitter.com\/6cvEyegUod<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Pi Pioneers X (@PiPioneersX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PiPioneersX\/status\/1922283146147508406?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Pi Coin fell by over 50% after the announcement as market participants reacted with disappointment. Many expected short-term developments that could immediately impact liquidity or access. Since the fund supports long-term growth, the short-term market impact remained limited.<\/p>\n<p>The slide in Pi Network continued into Friday, showing signs of price stabilization near previous support levels. While the long-term strategy may benefit the ecosystem, traders appeared to shift focus. The drop indicated a correction following a speculative rally driven by expectations.<\/p>\n<h2>Pi Network Rally Reverses After Reveal<\/h2>\n<p>The price surge before May 14 was fueled by anticipation and speculation around the announcement. Pi Network rose rapidly after the teaser, reaching its highest level since March 2025. Once the details became public, the token reversed direction almost instantly.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern reflected a common trend known as \u201cbuy the rumor, sell the news,\u201d often seen in speculative markets. The lack of immediate rewards or utility likely reduced demand and sharp selling pressure. Traders reacted swiftly to recalibrate expectations, pushing Pi coin lower.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the decline, Pi has retained some of its earlier gains. The price now hovers near levels seen before the rally began. Stabilization suggests that volatility may ease as the ecosystem continues its gradual development.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TLDR Pi Network token dropped 0.63 percent on Friday, closing at $0.9062.
