After about 9 years of building its community, the Pi Coin Network finally launched on the mainnet to the amusement of the industry. However, for a coin whose IOU price traded as high as $183.49, the current price is highly disappointing to early miners. While still early, many are wondering if, with the inconsistencies tied to the protocol at this time, Pi Coin hit a high price of $10 after the mainnet launch. Pi Coin Price Shocks Investors The days leading to the mainnet launch of Pi Coin on the mainnet came with significant community hype. In the first few days, some community members anticipated the coin to skyrocket as high as $300. However, the current PI outlook has stunned expectant miners. According to CoinMarketCap data , Pi Coin’s price was $0.7620, down 55.16% in less than 24 hours. With a market capitalization of $4.77 billion, PI has a trading volume of $1.09 billion. Despite its relatively young age, PI now has a valuation bigger than Monero (XLM), PEPE, and Internet Computer (ICP). The coin’s ecosystem is calm but with optimism from early backers despite the backlash from industry leaders. Pi Network got huge support from global exchanges, with PI listing on OKX and CoinDCX, amongst others. Some ecosystem trends must be considered when deciding whether or not the rebound to $10 is feasible. Catalysts that May Push Pi Coin to $10 The PI network has a robust user base before its open mainnet launch. The project reported over 10 million users, a massive resource in projecting future success. With the user base and growing listing on exchanges, PI can maintain the liquidity it needs to bounce back. Token launches are known to come with very sharp volatility. The same price drawdown PI Coin traded in was experienced by all top coins with hype leading to their launch. If the team continues to develop the project, chances of recovery in the long term are high. In addition, PI Coin emerged positively in the crypto industry. Through the pro-crypto Trump administration, enforcement at the US SEC and CFTC are now a thing of the past. This means the PI Network team can focus on delivering the innovation in their roadmap. The project may also get more clarity from the Crypto Task Force established by Mark Uyeda. Is the $10 Price Target Feasible for the PI Network? In the crypto industry, proponents believe anything is possible. For the Pi Network, only a 10% supply was released. This amounted to approximately 10 billion PI out of 100 billion. At the current price of $0.76, the coin has a Fully Diluted Value of $76.2 billion. At a $10 price market, this might take it closer to $1 trillion, a price that is not economically feasible. However, the coin may attain this price if it employs some form of burning mechanism along the way. For now, most early miners just want PI Coin to reclaim the $1 price mark. There is also speculation it may surpass XRP at $2.6 if it bags a Binance listing soon. The post Will Pi Coin Price Hit $10 After Open Mainnet Launch? appeared first on CoinGape .
