Pycoin is facing a large-scale token unlock in January, which is being closely watched by the market.
Pi Network is expected to conduct a large-scale token unlock in January 2026, involving approximately 134 million PI tokens, an event that is attracting significant market attention. This unlock is 15 times the size of the approximately 8.7 million PI tokens unlocked at the end of December 2025, and some observers suggest that this unlock may serve as a litmus test for market stability.
A total of approximately 157 million PI tokens will be unlocked by 2025… with a circulating supply of approximately 100 million tokens in December alone.
In late December 2025, the Pi network unlocked approximately 8.7 million PI tokens. This unlock was a stress test during the transition to the open mainnet. The process did not trigger significant market volatility and was therefore well-received.
Throughout 2025, approximately 157 million PI tokens were released into the market, with about 100 million circulating in December alone. To date, 60 million registered Pioneers and 15.7 million mainnet migration participants have joined the Pi network, and the large-scale unlocking expected in January 2026 will be a key opportunity to further validate these metrics.
Paicoin faces resistance and its price action is under scrutiny… down 17% in the last 30 days.
As of December 30, 2025, Pycoin was trading at $0.2027. This price level is facing significant resistance at $0.216, and a break above this level could signal a trend reversal. However, technical indicators currently suggest a bearish outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below the neutral line, and the price has fallen by 17.34% in the last 30 days.
During the same period, the Fear & Greed Index remained in the "fear" range of 24, indicating a strong wait-and-see attitude in the market rather than a buying intention.
Meanwhile, the movements of large holders are also attracting attention in the Pi market. Recently, a whale wallet increased its holdings by 5.3 million Pi, and the top ten wallets are believed to hold 23% of the total supply. This means that if a significant sell-off occurs, the possibility of a short-term correction cannot be ruled out.
Establishing a $100 million venture capital fund... to accelerate ecosystem expansion
To strengthen its ecosystem, PaiNet has established a new venture capital fund called "PaiNet Ventures," with a size of $100 million (approximately 134 billion Korean won). The fund aims to generate tangible benefits through infrastructure expansion, testing token introductions, regulatory compliance, and enhanced institutional partnerships.
PiNet stated that its focus is on practical use and gradual ecosystem building, rather than price speculation. However, the lack of a clear roadmap for the planned large-scale token unlock in January 2026 has raised some concerns among investors.
Market capitalization of approximately $1.698 billion… Trading volume increased by 7.17% compared to the previous day.
As of December 30, 2025, the circulating supply of Pi is approximately 8.375 billion PI, with a total market capitalization of approximately $1.698 billion. The 24-hour trading volume recorded was $9.72 million, an increase of approximately 7.17% from the previous day.
In summary, following a smooth unlocking process, investors are closely watching market stability and supply and demand in anticipation of a larger token release in January 2026.
