Many well-known altcoins including Cardano (ADA) Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Zcash (ZEC) posted gains over the last 24 hours yet Pi Network’s PI skipped the fun entirely 🌑. Despite the fresh dip the crypto community stays wildly optimistic about it.
Bad News? 🖤
Finding a major token that dropped harder than PI over the past year feels rare. The asset launched in February 2025 rocketed toward $3 and touched a $14 billion market cap before the steep fall. Now it sits near $0.08 just above the $0.07 all-time low after a brutal 97% slide from its peak 🌙. Still the vibe across platforms stays strongly bullish according to CoinMarketCap data placing PI second overall behind only Kaspa (KAS) while Bitcoin (BTC) Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) trail behind.
Extreme hope in crypto often signals trouble ahead since markets love to crush widespread expectations 🔮.
Upgrades and More ✨
Pi Network rolled out several ecosystem tweaks since early 2026. Protocol version 25 arrived quietly without official posts while users confirmed it running. Protocol v26 requires node operators to finish upgrades by August 11 or lose network access 💎. X user Ben told over 500000 followers the change already works with protocol 27 labeled as the final one coming next.
“Almost nobody watching PI thinks about node compliance but that deadline tells you how much of the network is genuinely maintained versus just switched on and forgotten. I’d love to see the update rate published on the 12th” they added.
Some upgrades sparked short bounces for PI yet bears reclaimed control fast 🦇. Only time will show if these improvements spark a real rally or leave PI lagging further 🕷️.
