Privacy blockchain Namada has lost roughly $600,000 in an exploit, wiping nearly all value from its multi-asset shielded pool and adding to a string of security failures across the Cosmos ecosystem this year.
Namada confirmed the breach on June 20, in a post made on X, stating that its team was “investigating the issue” and involving the relevant parties.
The project also made an appeal to the hacker to return the funds, writing, “If you are the white hat hacker behind this exploit, please get in touch with us.”
What happened to Namada following the breach?
The shielded pool that suffered the attack is known as the multi-asset shielded pool (MASP), and it is Namada’s core privacy feature, designed to let users hold and transfer multiple token types with encrypted balances.

Also, Namada’s block explorer appears stalled with the most recent indexed block dating to June 7. This has raised questions about the chain’s data infrastructure and whether it was functioning normally before the attack.
Is there a growing wave of attacks targeting the Cosmos ecosystem?
The Namada exploit came hours after a separate incident hit Secret Network, where an attacker drained $4.67 million in Axelar-bridged tokens by exploiting a missing validation check in a cross-chain smart contract.
That vulnerability that was exploited had been existing, unpatched, in the deployed code since March 2023, according to blockchain security firm Common Prefix.
Ed, the founder of AirdropGlideApp, posted on X that the back-to-back incidents made it “worrying leaving assets” in the Cosmos ecosystem, pointing to the Axelar/Secret exploit and the Namada drain alongside an earlier attack on Saga.
Security researcher fr1ko.eth noted that in the 24 hours ending June 20, both Namada and mySwap (a Starknet-based DEX) had been compromised, with the two hacks totaling roughly $900,000.
The security failures compound what has already been a difficult year for the Cosmos ecosystem.
The network experienced an exodus of projects late last year, and that continued into the new year, per a Cryptopolitan report.
Noble, a stablecoin infrastructure project that had processed billions in volume, left Cosmos for an EVM-based layer-1.
Penumbra, a privacy-focused chain, shut down entirely. Comdex, Kujira, and Evmos halted development, while projects including Omniflix, Elys, and Jackal migrated elsewhere.
Cosmos’s native token, ATOM, currently trades around $1.78 and is in the depths of a decline of over 96% from the all-time high it achieved in 2021.
Cosmos is not oblivious to the happenings and has taken steps to stabilize. In June, Cosmos Labs acquired the Mintscan blockchain explorer and opened a Seoul subsidiary to consolidate operations around the Cosmos Hub, Skip:Go, IBC Eureka, and Mintscan under one roof, according to Cryptopolitan’s reporting.
Leadership has also signaled plans to redesign ATOM’s tokenomics and pursue institutional use cases.
But repeated exploits across Cosmos-linked chains undermine the effort. Bridge and smart contract vulnerabilities have been a persistent weak point plaguing the ecosystem.
Does this exploit call into question Namada’s credibility?
Namada launched with an unusual token structure that was unpopular before any exploit occurred.
On-chain investigator ZachXBT flagged in August 2024 that the NAM token shipped with 100% of supply unlocked at its token generation event, with no lockups for the 18.5% team allocation or the 32% investor share.
At the time, ZachXBT questioned how participants would stay motivated to build “when it’s a race to dump all tokens from day 1.”
With the latest exploit, users now face limited visibility into what happened and what, if anything, remains recoverable.
The Namada team has released neither a post-mortem nor an update on when it will restore services as of the time of publishing

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) floated freezing Satoshi’s Bitcoin and other dormant, quantum-vulnerable coins if they stay unmoved after a future network upgrade. He raised it as a question for the community, not a personal plan.
The Binance executive shared the idea on the Galaxy Brains podcast with Galaxy Research head Alex Thorn. He has since pushed back on reports that he would personally freeze Satoshi Nakamoto’s address for a year.
Is Freezing Satoshi’s Bitcoin a Good Idea?
The debate grew louder in March, when Google Quantum AI published research on breaking the cryptography that secures digital signatures.
Its team estimated an attack could need fewer than 500,000 qubits and run in minutes, well below earlier projections.
The risk sits in exposed keys. A quantum computer could derive private keys from public keys, then drain the wallets they protect.
More than a third of all Bitcoin had revealed a public key on-chain by March. That leaves them in addresses vulnerable to quantum theft.
Satoshi Nakamoto mined an estimated 1.1 million BTC in 2009 and 2010. That estimate rests on the Patoshi pattern traced by researcher Sergio Demian Lerner.

At Bitcoin’s current market price near $63,244, that hoard is worth roughly $70 billion.
What CZ Actually Said
Zhao did not call for a seizure, nor did he say Binance would act. He put the decision to the community, asking why it should not set a roughly 1-year timeline.
Coins left in vulnerable addresses after that point would be locked in by a fork.
CZ said the popular take that he would personally freeze Satoshi’s address was not quite right. He also flagged a snag, that telling Satoshi’s wallets apart from other early miners is hard.
Just my personal view.
(I cringe when listening to myself. 🤣 I wish I can learn to say things more succinctly in the future.) https://t.co/RxrjyFNCyb
His thinking aligns with BIP-361, a draft by Jameson Lopp and five other researchers. It would block sends to vulnerable addresses about three years after activation, then void legacy signatures two years later.
The authors frame a blunt choice. A quantum thief could grab the exposed coins, or miners could slowly recover them. The network could instead lock them so no one wins.
That proposal even cites Bitcoin’s creator on the issue of lost coins.
“Lost coins only make everyone else’s coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone,” Satoshi Nakamoto, as quoted in the proposal.
The dormant coins are contested on another front. An anonymous plaintiff and two Wyoming LLCs are fighting a New York abandoned-property lawsuit.
They want 39,069 idle addresses, including the Satoshi coins, declared theirs. A Galaxy report by Thorn doubts it will prevail.
Any forced lock still violates a core Bitcoin rule: no one can take another person’s coins. Many would read it as confiscation.
CZ said there is no perfect answer. He warned that doing nothing could prove the worst outcome of all.
Solana investors have changed their tactics in the past several days, as on-chain data shows a massive spike in SOL exchange inflows.
According to popular analyst Ali Martinez, such behavior could be the catalyst for a more profound price decline, possibly pushing the asset toward $50, a level not seen in almost three years.
600K SOL Reach Exchanges
Citing data from Glassnode, Martinez outlined the significant uptick in the number of SOL tokens that reached exchanges, going from about 27 million to over 27.6 million, meaning a 600,000 coin deposit. Similar developments suggest that “market participants are moving liquid supply out of private wallets, signaling rising caution around current price levels.”
He added that large-scale token transfers to trading platforms hint at potential de-risking or hedging from investors, potentially leading toward a “short-term drawdown.”
The analyst with over 165,000 followers on X warned that the $50 level might come into focus if this “spot supply triggers an immediate flush.”
“A localized pullback into this key zone would serve to fully absorb the short-term panic and clear the path for a healthy accumulation base before the next major expansion,” he added.
600,000 Solana $SOL were just deposited into trading platforms.
This rapid spike in exchange inflows indicates that market participants are moving liquid supply out of private wallets, signaling rising caution around current price levels.
Solana’s native token is up by over 4.5% in the past 24 hours, and has seemingly reclaimed the $70 support. However, fellow analyst Crypto Tony warned that the asset could drop toward $60 if this particular level gives in. The token slipped to $60 during the early June crash, but managed to defend that level. It hasn’t traded at Martinez’s lower target at $50 since late 2023.
Daan Crypto Trades also weighed in on SOL’s potential, but he focused on the BTC pair. He believes SOL is “attempting a breakout from this ralling wedge,” which could send it well above the current upper boundary of 0.0011 SAT. This became possible after SOL bounced from the lower boundary in early June at 0.001 SAT.
The United States is worried that China has its hands on advanced chip-making machines, sent to them by ASML.
Howard Lutnick, the US Commerce Secretary, reportedly sat down with ASML executives several times to share his fear that an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine had somehow landed in Chinese hands. Such a move would break US export rules, which forbid sending ASML’s EUV machines to restricted places like China.
The fact that Lutnick raised this shows Washington has not let its guard down on sensitive tech sales to China, even as President Donald Trump has recently loosened some chip export limits there.
Bloomberg broke the story first, noting that the White House gave reporters no evidence to back up Lutnick’s private remarks.
ASML pushed back on Friday, stating it had “never shipped an EUV machine to China, nor have we shipped to China any component, module, or equipment specially designed to be used in an EUV machine.”
The Dutch government told Reuters it strictly applies its licensing rules to chip-making “equipment, components and technology that explicitly fall under these rules.”
EUV weighs 180 metric tonnes and is as huge as a school bus. TSMC uses this machine for the production of chips used by US top companies like Nvidia. This is why China stays a step back in reaching the level of US chipmakers. However, it was also reported last year that China is attempting to make its own EUV.
That report by Reuters said that it was former ASML engineer working on the prototype for China, country’s own Manhattan Project as reported by Cryptopolitan previously.
U.S has kept a close watch on ASML
The U.S. is also wary of ASML’s maintenance agreements there and has raised questions about its sale of deep ultraviolet (DUV) systems to Chinese buyers, a business that makes up as much as a fifth of the firm’s total revenue.
In April, US lawmakers proposed a bill that would push American allies to match Washington’s stricter export controls, naming ASML directly in the draft legislation.
ASML responded by saying it understood the national security reasoning behind rules in both the US and the Netherlands and remained fully committed to following them.
On the other hand, Trump has eased up on some tech export limits toward China. Nvidia received approval in January to sell its H200 AI chips there, and last month, ten Chinese companies were cleared as buyers. Still, Beijing has been encouraging its tech industry to choose domestically made chips instead.
A seperate worry is brewing across the Atlantic
A speculative essay titled Europe 2031, written by a group of Brussels-based researchers, pictures a future where the US and China leave Europe behind because it failed to invest in datacentres, robotics, and homegrown AI.
The piece appeared just one day before the Trump administration reportedly moved to block “foreign nationals” from accessing an AI model called Fable, built by Anthropic.
The essay spread quickly during a week of G7 meetings, fueling talk about the need for Europe to build its own tech independence. Its writers say they feel “vindicated,” partly because one of their predictions, that the US would limit global access to advanced AI systems, briefly came true.
The essay is part of a wider trend of speculative AI scenarios that have drawn attention from officials, including a 2025 piece called AI 2027 that was reportedly read by US Vice President JD Vance.
U.S faces growing data center criticism
Back home, US opposition to data centers has been growing quickly, moving from local complaints into broader fights over land use and resources. Monterey Park, California, became the first US city to permanently ban large data centers this month after residents voted strongly in favor.
New York lawmakers passed a one-year halt on new large-scale data center projects. As of June, fourteen states have weighed similar restrictions, according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government, as officials in Washington increasingly view advanced AI systems as strategic national assets.
Good news for the American worker came at the worst possible moment for Bitcoin. Initial jobless claims fell by 4,000 to 226,000 for the week ending June 13. Layoffs are in the historically low range they’ve held for most of the post-pandemic era, and the unemployment rate has remained at 4.3% for a third straight month.
These numbers would look unambiguously healthy in almost any other setting. But Bitcoin didn’t seem to agree and slid below $64,000, down almost 3% on the day, after touching an intraday high of $66,315 the previous afternoon.
BTC spent the spring positioned as an asset waiting for the Federal Reserve to loosen financial conditions, and every reading showing a resilient labor market pushes that moment further into the future.
When hiring holds and firing stays contained, the Fed keeps the room it needs to keep policy tight, and Bitcoin has spent two years trading as a liquidity-sensitive instrument that responds to the expected path of interest rates far more than to whether a given economic print sounds encouraging to the people inside it.
Each of those labor numbers feeds directly into the market’s running estimate of what the Fed will do next, which is how a weekly jobless claims report ended up affecting the crypto market.
Why is a good jobs report seen as a liquidity problem?
Bitcoin’s sensitivity to labor data comes from the expectations they produce, not the numbers themselves.
Strong labor data lowers the perceived odds of rate cuts, keeps real yields elevated, supports the dollar, and reduces the appetite for speculative and longer-duration risk, which includes Bitcoin. A number that shows a stable jobs market shows tighter liquidity ahead.
Each layer of the labor data tells the Fed something different, which is why traders parse it all. Initial claims indicate whether companies are firing people, and at 226,000, they suggest employers mostly aren’t.
Continuing claims show whether laid-off workers are getting rehired, and those rose by 24,000 to roughly 1.81 million, the highest in nearly three months, with the average unemployed person now spending 11.6 weeks out of work, the longest duration seen since late 2021.
Payrolls measure how many jobs the economy is actually adding, and May’s 172,000 kept the three-month pace near 188,000. The unemployment rate shows how much slack exists in the system, and wage growth tells the Fed whether inflationary pressures are likely to stick around.
The composite picture from this week is a labor market that’s softening at the edges while remaining strong enough to give the central bank no reason to rush to ease interest rates.
The Fed confirmed that a day before the claims report landed. At Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as chair on June 17, the FOMC held its benchmark rate at 3.50% to 3.75%, as markets had fully expected, and then delivered the hawkish surprise in its projections.
The median dot for the end of 2026 climbed to 3.8% from 3.4% in March, which flips the committee’s base case from a cut to a hike, with 9 of 18 participants now expecting at least one increase this year and 6 expecting two.
Warsh withheld his own dot, stripped the easing language out of the policy statement, and told reporters the committee would deliver price stability, while the Fed lifted its year-end PCE inflation forecast to 3.6% from 2.7% as May CPI ran at 4.2%, its hottest reading since 2023.
Traders repriced the path almost immediately. Futures now put the odds of a December rate hike near 85%; expectations for any 2026 cut have collapsed toward zero; the 2-year Treasury yield jumped more than 16 basis points to 4.22%; and the dollar index rose to its highest level in more than a year.
Bitcoin’s reaction differs from the equity reaction because the two assets are exposed to the same data through different channels. Stocks can absorb strong jobs because robust employment implies consumers still have income and companies still have demand to sell into, which supports earnings.
Bitcoin’s link to the macro picture runs almost entirely through liquidity, rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite, and strong labor data tightens every one of those channels at once.
This is the return of the regime where weak economic news can lift risk assets by raising the odds of Fed easing, and firm economic news can pressure them by delaying it. Crypto investors caught in that regime care more about the policy reaction than about the economy’s underlying health, which is why the marginal buyer can treat a soft data point as a reason to add risk and a firm one as a reason to trim risk.
A single claims print doesn’t set Bitcoin’s trend, and there’s a real bullish counterargument to that. BTC can climb through strong jobs data if ETF inflows overwhelm the macro pressure, if the dollar weakens for its own reasons, if inflation cools without the labor market breaking, or if investors lean on Bitcoin as a hedge against fiscal and political risk.
The best example of this we’ve seen so far is energy, where crude collapsed from about $86 to $76 after the US-Iran framework, a move that’s disinflationary enough to eventually soften the Fed’s stance, and CryptoSlate covered how oil losing its grip handed the next leg of the trade back to liquidity.
Incoming data releases will decide the trade. Warsh’s removal of forward guidance means every CPI, PCE, payrolls, and continuing-claims release between now and December becomes a live policy input, with Treasury yields, the dollar index, and ETF flows acting as the running scoreboard.
The jobs market moves Bitcoin because every labor print changes the market’s Fed script, and this week’s resilient employment told traders that monetary relief is farther away than they’d hoped. Strong hiring is good for the people getting hired, but it works against Bitcoin when crypto needs the Fed to believe the economy is soft enough to ease.
Robert Kiyosaki says he is watching gold, silver, Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH) for a technical reversal before buying, arguing that the macro backdrop, not falling prices, decides whether hard assets are worth holding.
Precious metals extended a steep retreat this week, and a fresh dispute over the Strait of Hormuz tested a days-old US-Iran ceasefire. BTC and ETH edged higher over 24 hours.

Kiyosaki Watches Gold and Silver Context, Not Price
Kiyosaki built his case around the environment rather than the chart. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author said a falling market alone never tells him whether to buy or sell.
He pointed to whether political and banking leaders are fixing the economy or making it worse, and has called dips buying opportunities before.
“I have learned to understand the ‘context’ or the environment the asset is in….not the price… So I am watching prices of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum on technical charts and will buy when prices reverse their decline,” Kiyosaki wrote in a post.
The metals he is eyeing set records before the pullback. Gold hit an all-time high near $5,595 an ounce in late January and silver topped $100 for the first time.
Both records capped a run nearly doubling gold and quadrupling silver in a year.
This week’s ceasefire then drained the safe-haven premium the February war and Hormuz threats had rebuilt.
Kiyosaki keeps backing silver and Bitcoin and claims the charts point to a rebound, with no price target or timeline.
Hormuz Dispute Keeps the Safe-Haven Bid Alive
The backdrop Kiyosaki described stayed unsettled. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard declared the Strait of Hormuz closed over alleged ceasefire violations and warned vessels away.
Vice President JD Vance countered that no evidence backed the claim. Vance said the waterway stayed open, and CENTCOM reported 55 ships moving more than 17 million barrels of oil through Hormuz on Saturday.
That is close to the 20 million a day, about a fifth of global oil demand, the EIA says the strait normally carries.
Bitcoin traded above $64,000, up about 1.4%, while ETH held near $1,740, with both gains following developments at the Strait of Hormuz.
Even so, BTC sits roughly 49% below its October record near $126,000 and ETH about 65% under its August peak, with BTC down about 17% and ETH 18% over the past month.
Earlier Hormuz tensions dragged Bitcoin lower, and a US strike on Iran under the truce sent Bitcoin, gold, and oil moving within hours.
With US-Iran talks set for Switzerland on Sunday, the next signal is whether the ceasefire holds. For Kiyosaki, the charts rather than the headlines will decide his next move.
Kraken is preparing to bring one of crypto’s most heavily traded derivatives products into a regulated US framework, with the exchange saying eligible clients will soon be able to access CFTC-regulated perpetual futures through Bitnomial.
TL;DR
Kraken says the products are expected to launch within the next 30 days.
The contracts will be listed on Bitnomial, a CFTC-regulated Designated Contract Market recently acquired by Payward.
Supported assets at launch are expected to include BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, DOGE, LTC and AVAX.
The rollout is aimed at eligible US clients rather than broad retail access at launch.
Kraken Pushes Perps Into A Regulated US Structure
Perpetual futures have long been central to global crypto trading, but US access has remained constrained because the most liquid versions of these products have typically lived on offshore venues. Kraken’s announcement matters because it points to a domestic structure that keeps the core mechanics traders recognize — continuous pricing, no fixed expiration date and recurring funding payments — while placing the contracts inside a CFTC-regulated venue.
The exchange says the products will sit alongside spot margin and CME-listed futures inside a unified Kraken Pro wallet. That is an important operational point, because the appeal is not only regulatory clarity. For active traders, being able to manage collateral, spot positions and derivatives exposure from one interface reduces friction at a time when institutional crypto desks are becoming more sensitive to venue risk and custody structure.
John Palmer, Kraken’s Global Head of Derivatives, framed the launch around domestic access, saying US traders have been waiting for a regulated way to trade the product that defines global crypto derivatives markets. That phrasing is notable because perpetuals are not a niche product globally; they are the core liquidity layer for much of crypto’s directional speculation and hedging.
Why It Matters For Bitcoin And Crypto Traders
The launch could help pull some derivatives activity away from offshore exchanges if eligible US traders decide the regulatory trade-off is worth it. That does not mean global liquidity shifts overnight, but it gives institutional and qualified participants another route to express leveraged views on major assets while staying within a US-regulated framework.
The asset list also matters. By including BTC and ETH alongside SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, DOGE, LTC and AVAX, Kraken is not limiting the product to the two largest tokens. That wider initial scope suggests the exchange is positioning the venue as a broader crypto derivatives hub rather than a narrow Bitcoin-only product line.
For Bitcoin specifically, the bigger story is market structure. More regulated venues can deepen institutional participation, improve risk management and potentially reduce the gap between offshore liquidity and US-accessible products. The caveat is that access restrictions mean this is not a sudden retail floodgate.
What To Watch Next
Traders will be watching whether the product launches on schedule, how broad the eligibility criteria are, and whether liquidity builds quickly enough to compete with offshore perpetual futures markets. The central risk is access: if participation remains limited to a narrow institutional tier, the market impact may be more structural than immediate.
Tokenized gold is moving deeper into crypto lending markets.
Digital asset lender Ledn has added Tether Gold, or XAU₮, as collateral for loans, according to its official announcement. The move gives borrowers another way to access liquidity without selling a tokenized claim on physical gold.
TL;DR
Ledn has added Tether Gold as a supported collateral asset for loans.
Borrowers can access liquidity against XAU₮ rather than selling the asset outright.
Ledn says collateral is held 1:1 and is not rehypothecated.
The product excludes residents of Canada and the European Union, so availability is not global.
A new collateral lane for tokenized gold
Ledn has historically been closely associated with Bitcoin-backed lending. Adding Tether Gold widens that model into the real-world asset market, where tokenized commodities have become a growing part of crypto’s institutional story.
XAU₮ is designed to represent exposure to physical gold, while still moving as a digital asset. By accepting it as collateral, Ledn is effectively treating tokenized gold as something borrowers can pledge for liquidity in much the same way they might use Bitcoin or other supported assets.
The practical appeal is straightforward. A holder who does not want to sell XAU₮ can borrow against it instead. That may help avoid losing exposure to gold while still accessing stablecoin liquidity for other uses.
The custody model is the key claim
The most important part of Ledn’s announcement is the custody language. The company says collateral is held 1:1 and is not rehypothecated or lent out to generate yield.
That point matters because crypto lending has a long memory. After the failures of several high-yield lenders in the last cycle, users are much more sensitive to how collateral is held, whether it is reused, and what happens during market stress.
A non-rehypothecation model is easier to explain to borrowers because it reduces one of the more obvious forms of counterparty risk. It does not remove all risk, but it gives the product a cleaner structure than lending models that depend on recycling client collateral through yield strategies.
Why this fits the RWA narrative
The timing also fits the broader real-world asset trend. Tokenized Treasuries, tokenized gold, stablecoin reserve products, and collateralized lending are all part of the same movement: bringing familiar financial assets into crypto-native rails.
Gold is especially interesting because it sits between old and new market habits. It is one of the oldest reserve assets, but tokenized versions make it easier to move, pledge, and integrate into digital lending platforms.
The caveat is access. Ledn’s product is not available everywhere, and the company specifically excludes Canada and the European Union. That should keep expectations grounded. This is not a universal product launch, but it is another sign that tokenized commodities are becoming more useful inside crypto credit markets.
That gives the story a wider market angle. Tokenized gold is not trying to replace Bitcoin’s role in crypto lending, but it gives lenders and borrowers another type of collateral with a very different risk profile. Bitcoin collateral is tied to crypto market beta, while gold-linked collateral is often framed around preservation, hedging, and liquidity. In a market where borrowers increasingly want more choice, that distinction matters.

Our Pi network price prediction anticipates the Pi price reaching a maximum of $0.5695 by 2026.
In 2032, the Pi price prediction projects a maximum of $1.71.
Pi Network began as a mobile-focused crypto project designed to make digital assets accessible to everyday users. After reaching an all-time high of $2.98 in February 2025, Pi declined sharply and later hit a low of $0.1187 in June 2026 amid weakening demand and limited market liquidity.
Recently, the network accelerated ecosystem development. Major updates include a new Pi App Studio feature that allows developers to import AI-generated apps from platforms like Replit, Cursor, and Claude Code directly into the Pi ecosystem with integrated Pi SDK tools and payments.
Pi Network also expanded its reach in the United States after OKX made Pi be adopted by millions of users and launched Protocol 24 following the successful upgrade to Protocol 23.
What does the future hold for Pi Network, and where could the PI price head next? As investors monitor market sentiment, ecosystem growth, and network upgrades, let’s explore our Pi Network price prediction and technical analysis for 2026–2032.

Pi Price Analysis
Today’s PI price analysis shows PI trading at $0.1345, with buyers attempting to regain control
Over the last 24hours pi price has risen by around 3.1% after a recovery from yesterday’s pullback
Pi network’s immediate resistance is at $0.1350, and support at $0.1300
As of June 19, 2026, Pi Network price analysis shows a short-term bullish recovery with the price rising to $0.1345 after attracting fresh buying interest. The bulls have regained the momentum from the previous two days’ sell-off, with the latest daily candle pushing PI back toward the week’s highs. The market is still in a cautious trend, but today’s recovery suggests buyers are again testing overhead resistance. At the time of writing, the market sentiment is slightly bullish, with the bulls attempting a recovery above the $0.1300 support zone.
Pi price analysis 1-day chart
The one-day price chart for Pi Networks confirms buyers have returned to the market after the recent correction.PI has recovered from the $0.1300 level and is now trading around $0.1345 after missing out on significant gains during the last two sessions.
The latest green candlestick shows the bulls appear to be trying to retest this week’s highs with renewed buying pressure. However, the price is still below the $0.1350 resistance level, which has seen sellers break out in recent trading sessions.
The 24-hour trading volume rose to $7.9 million, which is a 15.98% rise in trading activity, and the market cap of $1.44 billion indicated that bulls are trying to resume the recovery with a renewed buying interest.
PI/USDT Chart: TradingView
The RSI (14) has bounced back from its lows to 45.96 and is heading deeper into the green, but still below the neutral level of 50. That means, bearish momentum has weakened, but buyers still need stronger momentum to confirm a broader trend reversal.
The MACD indicator is looking positive. The MACD line is at 0.0017, and the line signal is at -0.0046. The positive histogram is increasing, suggesting the bulls are gradually getting the upper hand from their recent pullback, but they need to breach the resistance to confirm their dominance.
The immediate resistance level is at $0.1350. If PI can break out above this, the resistance at $0.1400 could be a target, with the stronger resistance at $0.1450. Immediate resistance is at $0.1300 and $0.1260, which is the next major support zone for bulls, in a bid to hold onto the recovery.
Pi Price Analysis 4-Hour Chart
On the 4-hour chart, PI is trading at $0.1339 with buyers regaining momentum after defending the $0.1300 support level. After a brief correction from the recent high at $0.1365, the bulls have returned to the market, driving it back towards immediate resistance.
The formation of higher lows over the last few sessions also indicates a short-term bull market sentiment, but PI will need to break overhead resistance to validate a bull market continuation.
RSI (14) is up to 55.58, which is comfortably above the neutral 50 level and is pointing to a strengthening buying momentum. The indicator continues to stay well below the overbought level, and thus has further room to rise if the buyers continue to prevail. The RSI is also still above its signal average at 46.27, which further backs the positive sentiment in the short term.
PI/USDT Chart: TradingView
The MACD is still in bull territory. The MACD line is currently at 0.0002, the signal line at 0.0001, and the histogram is just slightly positive at 0.0001. The bullish crossover has formed, which shows that the overall momentum is improving, but the histogram is still quite low, meaning that buyers are not yet able to create any clear breakout, as there is not enough volume to support the move.
Resistance on the short-term 4-hour chart is at $0.1350, and then a stronger barrier of resistance is around $0.1370 and $0.1380. The support level is at $0.1300 if there is selling pressure, and the next support will be at $0.1280. A significant move above $0.1350 might extend bullish momentum, while a move below $0.1300 may improve the short-term momentum for sellers, heading towards $0.1400.

What to expect from the next Pi price analysis?
If buyers maintain momentum and push PI above the $0.1350 resistance, the token could extend its recovery toward the $0.1400 psychological level in the near term. However, failure to hold above $0.1300 could invite renewed selling pressure, potentially dragging the price back toward the $0.1280 support zone.
Why is PI’s price up today?
Pi Network is up today as positive sentiment surrounding ongoing ecosystem development and upcoming initiatives, including Pi2Day, boosted investor confidence amid a broader recovery in the altcoin market. However, trading volume remains relatively subdued, suggesting the rally will need stronger buying activity to sustain a breakout above the $0.14–$0.15 resistance zone.
Is Pi a Good Investment?
Pi is a high-risk, speculative investment that could offer upside if its ecosystem grows and adoption increases. However, its price remains volatile and dependent on overall market conditions, so investors should be prepared for uncertainty.
The project’s long-term success will largely depend on factors such as Mainnet adoption, developer activity, ecosystem utility, exchange accessibility, and the network’s ability to attract and retain active users. Recent developments, including Pi App Studio enhancements, protocol upgrades, and expanding exchange support, have strengthened the project’s fundamentals, but the token still faces challenges related to liquidity, supply expansion, and market sentiment.
As with any cryptocurrency investment, investors should conduct their own research, assess their risk tolerance, and avoid investing more than they can afford to lose. While Pi has growth potential if adoption continues to expand, it remains a speculative asset with significant upside and downside risks.
Will Pi Price Reach $5?
At the current pace of development and given its total PI supply circulating supply of over 8 billion PI, Pi Network’s long-term value will largely depend on user base growth and broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies in mainstream finance, making $5 unlikely in the near term. The maximum supply of Pi tokens is 100 billion, and ongoing unlocks create significant selling pressure that must be absorbed by demand, while ecosystem growth remains high risk unless developers and users create real utility through DApps or merchant integrations.
Multiple technical quantitative indicators and fundamental factors, such as delayed mainnet launch and maximum supply constraints, suggest that Pi’s price may fluctuate within lower ranges before any major uptrend. Real-world utility will be crucial for supporting demand and helping determine whether Pi can reach higher price targets. A $5 target would require sustained adoption, significant on-chain activity, and strong market demand that is not yet present.
Will Pi Reach $10?
Reaching $10 would represent a massive increase in Pi’s market cap, something that is not expected soon under current crypto market conditions. The $10 mark is considered an upper price target or the high end of speculative forecasts. Most models forecast a price range for Pi Network between $0.14 and $0.56 by the end of 2026, representing the lower end and high end of current predictions.
Analysts suggest that even optimistic forecasts place this milestone more than a decade away, if at all. Investors should treat such projections as speculative investment advice and conduct their own research before making investment decisions, as Pi remains a high-risk asset with uncertain long-term value.
Does Pi Network Have a Good Long-Term Future?
Pi Network’s long-term prospects depend on its ability to convert its large user base into active ecosystem participants. If developer adoption, merchant integration, and real-world use cases continue to expand, the project could strengthen its position within the cryptocurrency market.
However, investors should also consider risks related to token supply growth, market competition, regulatory developments, and overall crypto market conditions. As with any digital asset, future performance will

Pi Historic Price Sentiment
Pi Price History: Coinmarketcap
Pi Network launched in 2019 with mobile mining and operated in a closed ecosystem with no official market price, as tokens couldn’t be traded externally.
Between 2023 and 2024, Pi remained unlisted, with speculative prices ranging between $0.60 and $1.00 in unofficial markets.
In February 2025, Pi reached an all-time high of $2.98 following initial listings and increased public speculation.
In March 2025, Pi’s price dropped sharply after instability followed the final KYC verification deadline, trading between $1.85 and $0.90 during the decline.
In April 2025, Pi Network hit its all-time low (ATL) of $0.4012 on April 5.
From May to August 2025, Pi declined after failing to hold gains near $1.67, with token unlocks and weak demand pushing the price lower toward the $0.34 and $0.44 range.
In September 2025, Pi fell to a new all-time low of $0.2234 before recovering slightly to the $0.25–$0.28 range.
On October 11, 2025, Pi Network hit a new all-time low of $0.1585, reflecting the peak of a prolonged market crash and severe selling pressure.
Between November and December 2025, Pi traded mostly between $0.20 and $0.26 as selling pressure eased, but recovery remained weak.
In early 2026, Pi fell further and reached a new all-time low of $0.1312 on February 11 before stabilizing.
By late March 2026, Pi traded between $0.17 and $0.19, showing gradual recovery and improving short-term stability.
By mid-April 2026, Pi Network is trading around the $0.17 and $0.172 range, maintaining sideways consolidation as the market shows signs of stabilization after recent volatility.
At the start of May 2026, Pi Network traded between $0.17 and $0.18, continuing its sideways consolidation as the market showed limited momentum following April’s stabilization phase.
By mid-May 2026, Pi Network dropped toward the $0.15 range, facing renewed selling pressure as traders reacted to migration-related volatility and weak market momentum.
By late May 2026, Pi Network is trading at around $0.1439, reflecting continued downside pressure after a steady decline from earlier consolidation levels.
By June 06, 2026, Pi Network hit a new all-time low of $0.1187, marking the lowest price in its trading history and confirming strong bearish control in the market.
Alibaba Group presented its strongest commitment to artificial intelligence this week.
Chairman Joe Tsai said AI could eventually create a US$50 trillion market and that the company plans to invest in every area of the AI industry rather than focusing on just one.
Tsai clarified that Alibaba is pursuing a comprehensive AI strategy that encompasses chips, cloud systems, core AI models, and user applications when speaking at the Viva Technology conference in Paris.
He said it was still too soon to know where the biggest profits in AI would land.
“If you look at global GDP, over US$100 trillion of GDP, at least half of that, US$50 trillion, is about human productivity and human intelligence,” Tsai said. “And that is the TAM (total addressable market) of AI. And that’s why we’re all in on AI.”
Tsai warned that today’s leading AI model companies may not remain dominant in the future, which is why Alibaba is investing across the entire AI industry rather than focusing on just one area.
The company’s AI strategy includes chips, cloud computing, its Qwen AI models, and AI tools integrated into services like e-commerce, food delivery, maps, and travel.
Tsai said Qwen is now one of the world’s most popular open-source AI models, with the latest version, Qwen3.7-Plus, launched earlier this month.
Agents move into business and the home
To accelerate AI adoption, Alibaba.com launched Accio Work, a team of AI agents designed for small and medium-sized businesses in Malaysia.
The tool can independently perform tasks such as market research, product development, sourcing, product listings, marketing, and managing online stores.
Unlike traditional AI tools that only provide answers, Accio Work can take a user’s instructions and complete the required tasks.
According to Shawn Yang, General Manager for the APAC Region at Alibaba.com, AI has moved beyond being a future technology and has now become essential infrastructure that is changing how businesses operate worldwide.
Later this year, Alibaba Cloud plans to launch agentic AI services for its European clientele. After Germany and the UK, it launched a new cloud area in France, making it its third in Europe.
The shift toward ordinary users is accompanied by a wider trend at home.
A strategy comprising 17 additional stages was issued by China’s Ministry of Commerce and seven other ministries with the goal of integrating AI into commodities, services, and retail through smart devices, robotics, infrastructure, subsidies, and standards.
The ministry said that speeding up the development of “AI Plus Consumption” will create new sources of growth, improve consumer experiences, and increase spending capacity.
The goal is to bring AI into millions of homes and businesses, focusing on robotics, AI assistants, smart cars, and AI phones.
Curbs tighten on US models in Hong Kong
As China widens its choice of consumer AI, US tech curbs are making things harder for American firms in the region.
JPMorgan Chase has stopped its Hong Kong staff from using Anthropic’s AI models, the newest Wall Street bank to do so.
The decision follows a similar one by Goldman Sachs.
Reports say JPMorgan workers in Hong Kong can no longer reach Claude models through the bank’s list of approved large language models, with a source familiar with the matter pointing to the wording in Anthropic’s licensing agreement.
The restrictions come as the US increases controls on advanced AI technologies.
Although US-developed AI models are not available in mainland China, Hong Kong has traditionally followed different regulations, with access largely determined by the policies of American technology companies.
Now, traders are placing bets on the outcome of this.
