Crypto Drama: Exchange Hoards Pi Coins Like Aunt Agatha Hoards Silverware 😱🍰

by

If there’s one thing that gives a chap indigestion quicker than Anatole’s steak-and-kidney pie, it’s the sight of Pi Coin shuffling into crypto exchanges like guests arriving late to the Drones Club banquet. Rumblings from the cryptoverse suggest a spot of bother ahead, with coins being offloaded onto exchanges in sums that would make even Uncle Tom’s prize pig blush.

Apparently, in the last 24 hours, a whopping 6.5 million Pi coins swanned off to exchange wallets, perhaps to partake in the great crypto cotillion. Data from Piscan (not to be confused with the relentlessly optimistic Psmith) reveals exchanges—OKX, Gate.io, Bitget, and MEXC—are now sitting on more than 359 million Pi coins. Gate.io’s stash is as plump as a well-fed banderlog, housing 168 million Pi, while Bitget is clinging onto 122 million as if they were the last sausage rolls at the club.

Gate.io, always the ambitious fellow, managed a deposit increase of over 2.1 million Pi in a single day—probably hoping to impress the exchange committee. Bitget, never one to be outdone, welcomed an additional 1.4 million. Over at OKX, things were less champagne-and-caviar and more comic opera: 2.2 million Pi in, only for 4.1 million to make a hasty exit, resulting in a net loss that could sour even Jeeves’ disposition.

Meanwhile, Pi Coin’s price is doing its best impression of Bertie Wooster’s piano playing—remarkably flat, with only a tiny wobble of -0.90% to $0.5302. Trading volume has taken a tumble down the grand staircase: now a mere $43.1 million, a rather alarming 45% dip in the last day. For now, the market price is as unmoved as Aunt Dahlia at an amateur poetry reading, but one suspects that, like Gussie Fink-Nottle at a prize-giving, the drama may yet unfold.

The network, not to be left out of the festivities, recently popped the bubbly to celebrate its first hundred days since the bells rang in the Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025. A spiffing milestone, with developers, merchants, and users allowed to mingle on the Pi blockchain without so much as a disapproving look from the butler.

As of the last headcount, more than 3 million souls have elbowed their way onto the Mainnet, with total members now standing tall at a rollicking 13 million. Not bad for a currency named after a dessert, what ho?
