Pi Network This Week: Smart Contracts, Whale Buying, and a Deadline Every Node Operator Must KnowPi 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 leve
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.

SEC charges Donald Basile in $16M crypto fraud tied to ‘insured’ token

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto executive Donald Basile, accusing him and two companies he controlled of raising about $16 million from investors through false claims tied to a so-called “insured” crypto token known as Bitcoin Latinum.

In a complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the SEC alleged that Basile ran the scheme between March and December 2021 through Monsoon Blockchain Corp. and GIBF GP Inc., offering investors Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) that promised future delivery of the token, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Regulators said hundreds of investors were told the asset was backed and insured, but the SEC alleged no insurance company ever provided coverage or any proof that these claims were true, per the report.

The case marks one of the few SEC enforcement actions under the Trump administration, which has signaled a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance compared to previous administrations.

The Japanese government has announced plans to provide Sony with subsidies of up to 60 billion yen, equivalent to approximately $380 million, to support the construction of an image sensor manufacturing facility in Kumamoto Prefecture, located in western Japan. Industry Minister Ryosei Akazawa made the announcement during a press conference on Friday, underscoring the strategic importance of image sensor technology in the country's industrial future.Akazawa emphasized that image sensors are positioned to become essential components in the advancement of autonomous vehicles and physical artificial intelligence systems. He expressed confidence that the investment would help ensure a stable and reliable supply of these critical components as global demand continues to rise across multiple technology-driven industries.Sony, widely recognized as one of the world's top producers of image sensors primarily used in smartphones, stands to significantly expand its domestic production capacity through this government-backed initiative. Beyond its dominance in imaging technology, Sony maintains a powerful presence across the entertainment landscape, with major operations in gaming, film production, music, and anime — making it one of the most diversified technology and media companies in the world.This subsidy reflects Japan's broader strategy to strengthen its position in the global semiconductor and sensor supply chain, particularly amid growing international competition and increasing reliance on advanced imaging solutions. As industries such as robotics, automotive technology, and AI-driven hardware continue to scale, the demand for high-performance image sensors is expected to surge dramatically in the coming years.By investing in domestic manufacturing infrastructure, Japan aims to reduce its vulnerability to supply chain disruptions while positioning Sony as a

Related Reading: X Money's Crypto Ambitions Draw Fire From Senator Over Security FearsAuthorities Hold McCann Pending AutopsyTanzanian police are questioning McCann, founder of the crypto hedge fund Asymmetric, after his fiancée, Ashly Robinson, 31, died on April 9 at a hospital in Zanzibar. Robinson had been rushed there after hotel staff found her unresponsive in her room the day before. Based on reports from NBC News and CBS News, police have ruled her death a suicide - but they are holding McCann's passport while they await the results of a formal autopsy. The couple had been staying at the same hotel when a dispute arose between them. Officials said the two were separated and moved to different rooms following what police described as a "misunderstanding."

Staff later found Robinson in her room with a belt around her neck.McCann has not commented publicly. He could not be reached for comment. Ashly Robinson, right, with her sister, Alyssa Endres. Source: Alyssa Endres Family Pushes Back On Suicide RulingRobinson's relatives are not satisfied with the official account. Her sister, Alyssa Endres, told NBC News that "none of this makes sense." According to the family, Robinson had recently celebrated her 31st birthday and her engagement to McCann both of which had happened just days before her death. Endres described her sister as happy at the time. Robinson, who went by the name Ashlee Jenae on social media, posted her last photo April 5, showing her feeding a giraffe while she celebrated her birthday. The family's challenge to the police ruling adds another layer of uncertainty to a case that is already far from closed.

Those features can help XRPL win pilots, and production flows from firms that will not touch open, permissionless order books.

However, the value-capture question does not disappear. Permissioned venues can settle stablecoin to stablecoin. They can clear tokenized funds in issued units. They can use XRPL as rails while minimizing exposure to XRP, unless the venue’s liquidity model, quoting conventions, and routing paths put XRP at the center.

This is why the distinction between XRPL as infrastructure and XRP as money keeps returning.

Why is crypto up today? Bitcoin pushes towards $76K despite fakeout risk

Crypto today is sitting at a key level where the next move could be driven by FOMO.

On the technical side, high-cap assets are seeing steady inflows, which is keeping prices stable near key resistance zones.

With the weekend ahead and the stock market closed, crypto could see more inflows. The next 48 hours will be important in deciding whether the market builds a local bottom at these levels.

On the sentiment side, things are turning more bullish. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has moved up two points and is now just two points away from entering the “greed” zone, which often signals stronger risk appetite.

Technically, Bitcoin’s [BTC] push toward $76k shows this momentum may already be playing out.

Interestingly, crypto today also saw a liquidity flush, adding to the current setup. 

According to CoinGlass, total liquidations came in at $539 million, with over 55% coming from shorts. Bitcoin alone saw $56 million in short liquidations as it broke $75.7k, marking one of the largest short squeezes in over a month.

However, the key question is whether crypto can carry this momentum into next week.

From a technical standpoint, short squeezes are bullish; however, for the move to sustain, strong underlying bid support is necessary. Otherwise, this could simply turn into another deleveraging event.

AMBCrypto believes that this is where FOMO begins to play a key role.

On the sentiment side, conditions are clearly supportive, but the real test is whether it’s translating into actual on-chain demand.

If so, crypto’s momentum today could extend into next week, with $80k as the near-term target. On the other hand, if demand weakens, the move could quickly lose strength.
