Pi Network falls 8% to record low as Pi2Day products add little demand
PI fell 8% to a record low of $0.117 after Pi Network launched three products at Pi2Day 2026 that added little token demand.
"The three key Pi2Day 2026 releases extend Pi's services to businesses and developers outside the Pi ecosystem, while inviting them to join Pi Network and take advantage of Pi's unique benefits and resources," Pi Network stated in a blog post.
SoloHost, the headline release, lets developers list apps that run local AI on a user's own computer but requires no PI token. Pi Sign-in is a third-party login option similar to signing in with Google or Apple, adding convenience without token utility. PiVerify is the exception — it opens Pi's identity checks, used on more than 18 million people, to outside fintech and Web3 clients who pay in PI.
The token has fallen about 96% from its $3.00 record in February 2025, when Pi first opened mainnet to the outside world. Daily volume sits near $14 million against a $1.27 billion market cap, and circulating supply keeps climbing toward a 100 billion cap, with about 5.8 billion PI already issued but not yet trading. Fresh supply continues pressuring the price in a way that one product launch cannot offset.
PiVerify enters a crowded proof-of-personhood market led by Worldcoin (WLD), which also fell 3% over the past 24 hours as the broader altcoin sector traded lower. The service competes with entrenched vendors like Sumsub and Jumio, and its success depends on businesses choosing Pi over established alternatives.
Pi Network said more than 60 million engaged Pioneers are part of its community, but real token demand will depend on active app usage and developer adoption of PiVerify. No major centralized exchange listing was announced during Pi2Day, a factor traders had watched closely for potential liquidity and price support.
