Over the past three months, a mysterious crypto wallet identified by the label GAS…ODM has managed to accumulate 331 million Pi Coin. According to blockchain tracking platforms like Piscan, this holding is valued at approximately $148.5 million.
What makes this move especially noteworthy is that it occurred while Pi Coin dropped nearly 70% in value. While the broader crypto market entered a mild altcoin season, Pi Coin lagged behind. Yet this whale saw the dip as a buying opportunity.
A Strategic and Patient Accumulation
The GAS…ODM wallet has consistently withdrawn millions of Pi Coins from major exchanges such as OKX, Gate.io, and MEXC. These withdrawals intensified during price dips, suggesting the wallet is not aiming for short-term profit, but following a long-term accumulation strategy.
Currently, this address ranks as the sixth-largest Pi Coin holder in the Pi Network ecosystem. On-chain data suggests that these acquisitions are reducing market supply and could potentially influence future price action. Such patterns are often seen in staking, governance positioning, or preparations for a possible exchange listing.
Buying Into a Weak Market
Since early May, Pi Coin has fallen by up to 70%, trading between $0.44–$0.48 as of mid-July. Technical analysis highlights support near $0.40 and resistance around $0.50–$0.52.
Analysts believe that continued buying pressure from this whale could push Pi to $0.60 in the near term, with upside potential reaching $0.75–$1.00. Indicators like RSI and MACD also hint at a possible bullish reversal.
Who Is This Pi Whale?
There are two main theories about the identity behind the GAS…ODM wallet:
-
It may belong to the Pi Core Team, quietly conducting buybacks to stabilize liquidity after token unlocks.
-
Or, it could be owned by a major exchange, secretly building reserves ahead of a potential Pi Coin listing.
Both remain speculation, as neither the Pi Core Team nor any exchange has confirmed involvement. The silence only deepens the mystery.
Impact on the Pi Community and Ecosystem
This massive accumulation has sparked both excitement and debate within the Pi Network community. Following the launch of Pi App Studio, thousands of new decentralized apps have emerged, while over 37.7 million Pi Coins have been staked to support favored projects.
Still, concerns over centralization are growing. One address holding 331 million coins raises questions about supply control and governance influence.
Could a New Pi Rally Be Starting?
The aggressive strategy of GAS…ODM has already tightened Pi Coin’s circulating supply. Historically, such whale activity has often preceded major price shifts in crypto.
If this accumulation is tied to an upcoming exchange listing, it could serve as the biggest catalyst in Pi’s history — boosting trading volume, visibility, and market confidence.
While the true identity of this whale remains unknown, one thing is clear: this wallet is already playing a critical role in shaping the future of Pi Coin.
