PI Posts Worst Weekly Return in CMC Top 100

@PiCoreTeam's native token $PI has emerged as the weakest performer across CoinMarketCap's top-100 assets over the past seven days, shedding approximately 9% during the period. The decline extends a painful run for the token: Pi Network reached an all-time high of $2.99 and is now trading roughly 96% below that peak. The price has been testing key support near $0.12 amid heavy token unlocks.

A persistent supply overhang is a central concern. Over 127 million PI tokens are set to unlock within 30 days, creating significant sell-pressure risk, and technicals remain bearish with price below the 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day EMAs. The backdrop is notable given that the @PiCoreTeam launched three new products on June 28 during its annual Pi2Day event. The launches, branded PiVerify, Pi Sign-in, and SoloHost, are intended to pivot the project toward AI and identity infrastructure. PiVerify opens the network's KYC system, used to verify over 18 million users, to external businesses that must pay for the service in PI tokens. Despite the product announcements, the token failed to find buying support, with price continuing to drift lower through the week.

JTO and CC Round Out the Weekly Laggards

@jito_sol's $JTO and @CantonNetwork's $CC followed PI as the next worst performers on CMC's top-100 list over the same period. Jito is a liquid staking and maximum extractable value (MEV) protocol for the Solana network, designed to help decentralize Solana by spreading stake across the network. JTO serves as the governance token of the Jito protocol, putting decision-making in the hands of the community. The token faces its own structural headwinds: network stress events on Solana can weigh on sentiment and TVL across Solana DeFi, directly hurting Jito's fee income, while ongoing token unlocks continue to add sell-side pressure.

The broader picture reflects a difficult stretch for mid and large-cap altcoins, with token unlock schedules and weak demand compounding downside pressure across several projects in the top 100.
