Pi Coin News: PI Network Unlocks 18.16M Tokens Today in Largest April Release While AlphaPepe Stage 11 at $0.01367 Targets 1000x With Clean Supply and Live DEX

PI Network is unlocking 18.16 million tokens today - the largest single-day release of April. MEXC confirmed PI coin price remains under pressure despite Q2 2026 upgrades with 18.16 million set to unlock on April 9 as analysts point to the rising token supply as a primary price headwind. Yahoo Finance confirmed PI falls to $0.18 amid App Studio updates as the unlock schedule adds persistent sell pressure to an asset already navigating macro headwinds.

The 18.16M unlock is not the only scheduled pressure. PiScan data shows 87.5 million PI tokens unlocking in April 2026 alone with 1.21 billion scheduled to unlock across 2026 as a whole - a 14% increase in circulating supply within a single year. The supply dynamics make the price recovery thesis for PI dependent on demand absorbing a significantly larger float simultaneously.

Clean supply and a live DEX are the specific advantages AlphaPepe https://alphapepe.io/ at $0.01367 in Stage 11 carries that PI's 18.16M unlock highlights most directly. Stage 10 is sold out. Not launched on DEX yet.

Largest April Release and the Supply Pressure It Creates

The 18.16 million PI token unlock arriving as the largest single-day release of April is the specific supply event that explains why PI coin price remains under pressure despite genuine Q2 upgrade progress. When 18.16 million new tokens enter the circulating supply on a single day in an environment where the Fear Index has held at 12 for 47 consecutive days and retail demand is suppressed the absorption mathematics work against price recovery regardless of fundamental improvement.

CoinStats confirmed 91% of PI tokens remain unmined or locked with 1.21 billion scheduled to unlock in 2026 alone. The unlock schedule is the honest picture of what PI holders are navigating. Genuine ecosystem development through Protocol 21.2 and smart contract capabilities landing alongside a supply schedule that adds 14% to circulating supply within the year.
