Hype often drives attention, but it’s structure that sustains progress. Pi Network is now facing a sharp 44% price slide and waning sentiment after being left out by Binance. At the same time, Shiba Inu clings to optimism sparked by ETF chatter and steady buying activity, although real user participation has taken a hit. These shifts show the risk in relying too much on hype for long-term gains.
In comparison, BlockDAG (BDAG) is staying grounded in action. Its Beta Testnet is already live, offering a space where real developers are testing EVM features, deploying contracts, and evaluating the network’s capacity. While others speculate or wait for regulatory decisions, BlockDAG is collecting data and fine-tuning its ecosystem ahead of its 2025 mainnet release.
Pi Network Faces Challenges
The Pi Network (PI) has come under pressure lately, falling by nearly 44% in the past ten days, now sitting close to $1. This dip follows Binance’s decision to leave PI out of its listing considerations, which has caused confidence to slide and funds to exit the platform.
This trend is backed by the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator, now showing its weakest reading since Pi Network launched. If the decline continues, PI could break below the $0.92 level and possibly head toward $0.76. However, a recovery may be possible if the coin manages to reclaim the $1.19 support zone.
Despite the current weakness, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) points to a potential turnaround, having bounced from oversold territory. It’s important for market watchers to track these patterns, as the back-and-forth between emotion and indicators may guide PI’s next moves.
Shiba Inu’s ETF Talk Sparks Price Speculation
Buzz in the Shiba Inu (SHIB) community recently focused on talks of a future ETF centered around SHIB. Lucie, a key ecosystem contributor, underlined SHIB’s availability on many exchanges and its strong decentralized base. Still, despite the talk, no official ETF filing for SHIB has been made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
At the same time, more than 50 trillion SHIB coins have been pulled from exchanges between December and March, showing a trend of accumulation and reduced selling. Since its March 2025 low, SHIB has climbed 25% and is now hovering between $0.000012 and $0.000020. If it pushes past the $0.000016 resistance, there’s room for a 47% gain—though that depends on buyer momentum holding strong.
Developers Can Now Join BlockDAG’s Live Beta Testnet with Full Dev Tools
BlockDAG is now offering developers to explore its Beta “Primordial” Testnet—built to test performance, tools, and smart contract use ahead of the mainnet launch in late 2025. With EVM compatibility baked in, developers can test and move over their contracts seamlessly without needing to rebuild.
The development kit also includes a user-friendly IDE, guided setup tools, and instant access to APIs and documentation, making it easy for builders to dive in. This isn’t a simulation. It’s a real working testnet where developers are encouraged to stretch the DAG-based framework, which uses the GHOSTDAG protocol to handle transactions in parallel and finalize them faster.
The process is interactive, not theoretical. Every developer action helps optimize performance and polish the experience before launch. On top of that, contributors can earn real BDAG coins through ongoing testnet challenges. Top users, miners, and those with strong wallet activity can earn BDAG at the early launch price of $0.05.
Progress isn’t limited to the testnet. So far, $209.5 million has been raised in the crypto presale, with over 19 billion coins already sold and a 2,380% ROI recorded since the first batch. Batch 27 is currently active at $0.0248, and demand is rising.
Those eager to help shape a blockchain designed for scalability and efficient processing will find that BlockDAG’s Beta Testnet is more than a preview—it’s a chance to contribute meaningfully to its buildout. In this project, builders aren’t just welcome; they’re a critical part of its progress.
Summing Up!
While buzz can swing prices, only solid systems hold value over time. Pi Network is seeing warning signs as key metrics drop and sentiment weakens. Shiba Inu is leaning on hopeful talk about ETFs and gradual accumulation trends to keep interest alive. BlockDAG, meanwhile, is moving beyond talk.
Its Beta Testnet is running, testing throughput, developer access, and system durability. From live contract testing to reward-based participation, BlockDAG is actively proving its readiness, something the others are still aiming for. In the shift from headlines to hard data, it’s the projects delivering results—not promises—that will set the pace.
