It is the same mechanism that gives major currencies their durable monetary premium. So, this demand is not driven by tiny fees. Instead, it is pushed by the need to hold liquidity to do business.

A simple inventory model shows why this matters. If XRP-mediated payment volume reaches $1 trillion per year, the daily flow works out to roughly $2.74 billion.

If market makers keep about half a day of buffer inventory, the required inventory would be about $1.37 billion in XRP.

Pi Network This Week: Smart Contracts, Whale Buying, and a Deadline Every Node Operator Must Know
Pi is trading between $0.165 and $0.178 and has been stuck there for weeks. The price story is bearish, but everything around it is not.

Where the Price Stands

The important level to watch is $0.171. Until Pi closes a daily candle above it, the recovery thesis stays on hold. Resistance stacks up quickly above that level:

20-day EMA at $0.175

50-day EMA at $0.181

100-day EMA near $0.19

The one constructive signal in the charts is the MACD, which has flattened to zero for the first time since February. That indicates selling pressure is fading. It does not confirm that buyers have arrived yet, but the shift in momentum is worth noting.

The Upgrade Deadline Nobody Should Miss

The most immediate event is the April 27 deadline for all node operators to upgrade to Protocol 22. Miss it, and nodes get disconnected from the network. No exceptions.

This deadline is part of a broader upgrade sequence that is moving faster than most Pi holders realise:

April 22: Protocol 22.1 rollout begins the upgrade cycle

April 27: Hard deadline for Protocol 22 compliance

May 18: Protocol 23 expected to introduce smart contracts

Beyond that: Early signals point to a push toward Protocol 26 before Pi2Day

Developers are already being told to prepare their applications for smart contract compatibility. That is a meaningful shift in what Pi could support as a platform.

The Fundamentals Stacking Up

Away from the price chart, three developments stand out this week:

18 million KYC-verified users. Pi continues to argue that its user base is different from that of every other crypto network. These are confirmed humans, not wallet addresses.

A whale accumulated 350 million PI. Large accumulation at current prices signals someone with long-term conviction is buying the range rather than exiting it.

Bitcoin whales just bought the most BTC since 2013 so why is the price stuck below $80,000?

Whales quietly drain exchange supply as ETFs and treasuries test how Bitcoin behaves in a thinner, more fragile market.

Bitcoin has spent much of 2026 moving between recovery attempts and macro shocks, yet one part of the market has kept moving in a single direction.

Large holders have been buying.

On April 16, Bitfinex highlighted CryptoQuant data showing whales accumulated 270,000 BTC over the previous 30 days, the largest buying spree since 2013, while exchange reserves fell to their lowest level since December 2017.

That combination carries more weight than usual, pointing to a market where available supply is thinning beneath the surface, even while price remains far below the October 2025 all-time high of $126,198.

As of press time, CryptoSlate's Bitcoin data page shows BTC trading near $74,500, up 0.9% over 24 hours, 3.3% over seven days, and 0.7% over 30 days. Market capitalization stands near $1.5 trillion, and 24-hour volume is just above $41.2 billion.

#Oil prices dipped modestly during Asian trading on Thursday as investors closely monitored diplomatic developments between the United States and Iran ahead of a critical ceasefire deadline set for April 21. West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped 0.4% to $90.90 per barrel at around 19:42 ET, reflecting ongoing market caution. Traders remained on edge as peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran showed limited progress following weekend talks. President Donald Trump expressed cautious optimism, suggesting that additional discussions could occur within days and that a resolution to the conflict might be within reach. However, uncertainty persists as the U.S. simultaneously confirmed a full naval blockade against Iran move analysts say could complicate diplomatic efforts. Some relief came from reports indicating that several ships and oil tankers successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz during the week. Additionally, Reuters reported that Iran may be open to permitting free passage on the Omani side of the strait as part of a potential peace agreement a a development that could ease supply concerns if confirmed. Despite a fragile ceasefire holding as of early Thursday, with no new military strikes reported since late last week, markets remained cautious. News that the U.S. was considering deploying over 10,000 additional troops to the region raised fresh fears of escalation.Crude oil had surged to $120 per barrel following the outbreak of hostilities in late February, but prices have since pulled back amid emergency reserve releases by major economies. Both the International Energy Agency and OPEC flagged softer global demand outlooks tied to war-related disruptions.
