Pai Network is about to make a big move. In January 2026, there will be a massive token unlock, with approximately 134 million PI tokens flooding into the market. How exaggerated is this number? Compared to the 8.7 million tokens unlocked at the end of December, it's a full 15 times larger.
Speaking of 2025, the unlock schedule for Pai tokens has been quite aggressive. A total of 157 million PI tokens were released throughout the year, with about 100 million released just in December. The market absorbed this circulating supply smoothly, and some even regarded it as a successful stress test. Up to now, 60 million registered pioneers and 15.7 million mainnet migration users have joined the Pai Network ecosystem.
Looking at the price performance, Pai tokens have been struggling recently. As of December 30, the price was $0.2027, just shy of the $0.216 resistance level. It seems the turnaround is within reach, but the technical signals are not very optimistic— the Relative Strength Index is below the neutral line, with a decline of 17.34% over the past month. Whether the large-scale unlock in January will be a turning point or continue to exert pressure, the market is watching.

134 million tokens were suddenly dumped. Is this move to crush or to create an opportunity? I really can't take it anymore.
---
At this unlocking speed, who is the market maker and who are the retail investors?
---
It's another case of using large unlocks to create hype. This tactic has been played out.
---
Stress test? I see it as a disguised way to cut the leeks. Don't fool yourself.
---
A 17% drop plus 134 million sell-off. This month is probably not looking good.
---
60 million pioneer users sounds impressive, but the price action tells the real story.
---
Just a little more to reach the resistance level, but instead, it was directly smashed down by unlocks.
---
I just want to know if any institutions are taking this position.
---
In my opinion, retail investors have already fled, and the rest are betting on a turnaround within a month.
---
Technical indicators are terrible. Another big unlock like this, and it's no wonder the price drops.

130 million per month, only 1.608 billion per year. Just 16.08 billion in ten years. After 50 years of such decline, it can reach 80 billion. Very good, hang in there everyone.

134 million coins are pouring in all at once. Can we hold this wave? It feels like a break below.

1.34 billion coins are suddenly dumped, is this betting on the market appetite?
---
It's both unlocking and dropping again, PI's rhythm is indeed a bit刺激.
---
With a 15x magnitude, it has passed the stress test, can it hold up next month?
---
0.2027 is stuck here, feels a bit悬.
---
PI has fallen 17 points this month, it's indeed a bit狼狈.
---
60 million Vanguards are watching whether January will be崩盘, I am also watching.
---
One is a stress test, two is a test of耐心.
---
This wave of unlocking is really testing the market's心理承受能力.
---
Such a large decline and still releasing coins, the胆子 is not普通.
---
Resistance is right in front but the technicals don't cooperate, it's尴尬.

134 million tokens unlocked all at once, this wave of unlocking really can't be sustained...
---
Stress test? Feels like the market is already dizzy
---
Another unlock and a drop, this coin distribution script feels a bit familiar
---
60 million users, yet the price is struggling around 0.2, the data is way off
---
The technical side is still sleeping, don't expect a turnaround in January
---
Every month is "successfully passing the stress test," if this continues, it will really blow up
---
That wave in January, was it a savior or the last straw that broke the camel's back...
---
If this pace continues, liquidity will be completely unmanageable
---
The mainnet migration has reached 15.7 million, yet the price still dropped 17%, it's a bit ironic
