Source: CoinGecko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The most obvious answer to this lies in PI\u2019s performance in the past month or so. In times when the entire crypto market was crashing, including double-digit losses from BTC, ETH, and others, Pi Network\u2019s token managed to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-defies-the-market-slump-can-bulls-push-it-higher-next-week\/\">defy<\/a> the broader market\u2019s sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, most of its movements were <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-price-explodes-by-12-as-huge-regulatory-approval-lands\/\">influenced<\/a> by ecosystem updates, rumors of regulatory approvals, or mere speculation in some instances. Consequently, PI has again shown that it tends to perform separately from the rest of the market, which, in today\u2019s situation, means a more modest increase.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s perhaps more worrisome for its upcoming performance is the number of average daily token unlocks, which is over 6.2 million for the next month \u2013 a lot higher than the 4.5 million averaged in October, for example.<\/p>\n<p>These token unlocks could trigger larger sell-offs if investors who had been waiting for their coins decide to offload them upon receiving them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1422134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1422134\" style=\"width: 1325px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pi-Token-Unlock-Schedule.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1422134 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Pi-Token-Unlock-Schedule.png\" alt=\"Pi Token Unlock Schedule.
