Why is Pi Coin Price Crashing Despite Broader Crypto Rally

Why is Pi Coin Price Crashing Despite Broader Crypto Rally

The post Why is Pi Coin Price Crashing Despite Broader Crypto Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Coin struggles near $0.26 despite broader crypto market rally Slow mainnet rollout and low on-chain activity weigh on price Token unlocks increase supply, adding downward pressure on Pi Coin Pi Coin keeps drifting near $0.26 even as global crypto capitalization climbs past $4.28 trillion and heavyweights Bitcoin ($124,387) and Ethereum ($4,715) lead the charge.  Pi Coin seems stuck in a slump, struggling to rise above $0.30 and currently hovering around $0.26. This is a dramatic drop from its all-time high of $2.98 in February 2025, representing a decline of over 91%. The Broader Context: Pi vs. the Market While most top altcoins are rallying, Pi’s dull performance comes even after Pi founder Dr. Chengdiao Fan’s recent talk at TOKEN2049.  She stressed advancing real blockchain utility, meaningful product innovation, aligning AI with human well-being through decentralized infrastructure, and building a path toward true mass adoption. Despite these long-term goals, the market hasn’t responded as quickly as investors hoped. Related: CZ Shocked After Token2049 Attendee Reports Attack in Singapore Why Pi Coin Price Remains Low Unlike meme coins such as Dogecoin or SHIB, which thrive on hype, Pi is built for mass adoption and long-term utility. Its $3 spike was largely hype-driven, but the lack of infrastructure prevented sustained growth. Several structural factors explain Pi’s slump: Slow mainnet rollout: Transition from testnet to mainnet has been gradual, frustrating users and draining early enthusiasm. Minimal ecosystem activity: Few developer-built dApps and limited on-chain transactions mean low real demand. Selling pressure from token unlocks: Millions of users migrating to mainnet increase circulating supply, putting downward pressure on price. A Turning Point Is Coming Pi’s dormant phase may soon end. The mainnet protocol upgrade to version 23 is expected within the next two months, bringing catalysts: Pi DEX Launch & AMM Integration: Real on-chain…

A7A5 under fire as EU weighs sanctions on ruble-pegged stablecoin

A7A5 under fire as EU weighs sanctions on ruble-pegged stablecoin

The post A7A5 under fire as EU weighs sanctions on ruble-pegged stablecoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The European Union is reportedly considering sanctions against A7A5, a Russian ruble-backed stablecoin that’s the world’s largest non-US-dollar pegged stablecoin. The sanctions would prohibit EU-based organizations and individuals from engaging directly or indirectly through third parties with the token, according to a report from Bloomberg on Monday, citing documents related to the proposal. Several banks in Russia, Belarus and Central Asia are in the firing line too, accused of enabling sanctioned entities to conduct crypto-related transactions, Bloomberg reports. It is the latest effort by the EU to hobble Russian-tied crypto movements, following Sept. 19 sanctions on crypto platforms that blocked all transactions for Russian residents and restricted dealings with foreign banks tied to the country’s sector. Cryptocurrency is just one of the many methods Russia has used to attempt to evade Western sanctions. Russia has also been using a so-called shadow fleet, hundreds of vessels used to smuggle sanctioned goods, concealing the origins of its oil and conducting intermediary trading through other countries, along with a variety of different methods, according to global risk consultancy firm, Integrity Risk International. At the same time, it’s using illicit gold trades to launder money, global policy think tank Rand said in a December 2024 report. A7A5’s market cap spiked after sanctions A week after the EU’s sanctions against crypto platforms were announced on Sept. 19, A7A5’s market capitalization spiked on Sept. 26 from around $140 million to over $491 million, a 250% jump in one day, according to CoinMarketCap. A7A5’s market capitalization surged 250% a week after the EU first imposed sanctions. Source: CoinMarketCap A7A5’s market capitalization is now holding steady at around $500 million as of Monday, which is roughly 43% of the total $1.2 billion market cap of non-US dollar stablecoins. Circle’s euro-pegged EURC is the second-largest, with a market capitalization…

A7A5, Russian ruble-backed stablecoin issued in Kyrgyzstan has overtaken EURC as the largest non-USD pegged stablecoin in the world with a market cap nearing $500 million. Summary A7A5 surged 43% in a day, boosting its market cap to $473.58 million and overtaking Circle’s EURC to become the world’s largest non-dollar stablecoin. The Ruble-backed stablecoin faces scrutiny from Western authorities, with links to sanctioned Russian and Kyrgyz banks prompting the EU to consider new sanctions targeting the token. According to data from DeFi Llama, the ruble-backed stablecoin value has skyrocketed by 43% in one day, bringing the token’s market cap up by $473.58 million. It raced past the reigning champion, Circle’s euro-pegged EURC (EURC), which possessed a market cap of $254 million.

In a Telegram post, the stablecoin celebrated its milestone achievement of becoming the world’s largest non-USD stablecoin. The project predicted that by 2028, the portion of non-dollar stablecoins could rise to 20% as it continues to expand its token utilities. “We have already proven that a national digital currency can be not only an alternative to the dollar but also a driver of global change,” said the project in a translated Telegram post. The surge in value comes only two days after the project made an appearance at Singapore’s Token2049 convention.
