Pycoin faces token unlocking in January; be wary of the risk of price decline.
Pi (PI) is expected to unlock approximately 134 million tokens in January 2026, with an estimated value of around $27 million. Market concerns are that this large-scale unlock could lead to increased supply, thus amplifying selling pressure. Currently, Pi is trading at approximately $0.2035, a drop of over 93% from its all-time high.
In the past 30 days, the price of Pycoin has fallen by about 12%, and in the past three months it has plummeted by more than 21%, showing a continuous downward trend. Its market capitalization is approximately $1.7 billion, the circulating supply is approximately 8.3727 billion coins, and the 24-hour trading volume is approximately $7.9 million, indicating relatively low liquidity.
Cryptocurrency market analysts point out that this unlock could negatively impact short-term prices. In particular, Pycoin is not yet listed on major global exchanges, limiting trading options in its circulating market, which further exacerbates price volatility.
January Price Outlook and Future Considerations
According to market forecasts, cryptocurrency price prediction platform CoinCodex predicts that the price of Pycoin may fall by about 25% to around $0.1519 by the end of January. Analysis firm WalletInvestor predicts that the price will fluctuate between $0.180 and $0.195 until mid-January. DigitalCoinPrice, however, suggests a potential price increase throughout 2026, estimating a possible price level of $0.39 to $0.49 within the year.
Meanwhile, CoinMarketCap assessed this token unlock as a key short-term variable, but did not mention specific information regarding ecosystem updates or technology roadmaps. As of now, Paicoin has not released any official announcements regarding real-world use cases or additional listing plans.
Ecosystem expansion and exchange listing: the key to the future
Pycoin is a Layer 1 blockchain project featuring mobile mining functionality. While it has achieved success in expanding its early user base, it is still considered to lack substantial ecosystem expansion and real-world application cases.
Some industry observers believe that the price stability of the token after its unlock will have a decisive impact on the long-term value of Picoin. Experts predict that without substantial progress in exchange expansion or the development of the dApp (decentralized application) ecosystem, volatility will continue after the unlock.
Investors should note that with January approaching, increased supply may put greater downward pressure on prices in the short term, requiring close monitoring of price movements. Meanwhile, analysts point out that in the medium to long term, it is necessary to closely observe the progress of actual projects related to the token.
