Pi Network’s price movement remained relatively contained this week, yet several key developments point to a strengthening recovery outlook. As of Saturday, November 15, Pi Coin was trading at $0.2175 — hovering near its weekly high and standing notably above last month’s low of $0.1510.
A Major Whale Triggers Market Attention on Pi Coin
One of the primary drivers behind Pi Coin’s stronger performance compared to many altcoins this week has been the aggressive accumulation by its largest whale. Data from PiScan indicates that this major holder purchased over 5 million Pi Coins in recent days, an amount currently valued at more than $1 million.
This whale now controls over 376 million Pi Coins, a position worth approximately $82 million at current market prices. After the Pi Foundation, this address is the second-largest holder and one of the few major players still actively accumulating.
The identity of the buyer remains unknown, fueling speculation within the community. Some believe the whale may be affiliated with the Pi Network itself or acting on behalf of a group with insider-level information. Others consider the possibility of a major exchange positioning itself for a future listing. There is also the simpler scenario: a long-term investor who sees Pi Coin as undervalued and primed for a future recovery.
Pi App Studio Update Strengthens Developer Ecosystem
Beyond whale activity, the Pi Network team has introduced a noteworthy update aimed at enhancing its development environment. This week, the platform rolled out a new code upload and download feature within Pi App Studio, the toolkit used by developers building Pi-based applications.
The updated functionality allows creators to start developing through Pi App Studio’s built-in tools and then continue working in external environments, enabling a hybrid workflow. This bridges the gap between creators and developers, streamlining collaboration and allowing for more flexible app development.
