Crypto expert Dr. Altcoin has revealed the efforts that the Pi network team has made so far to help stabilize the Pi coin price. The expert explained that this is the reason why the altcoin has been able to stay above the $0.63 support level, rather than dropping to new lows following the recent token unlocks.
Expert Reveals How Pi Network Team Has Helped Stabilize Pi Coin Price
In an X post, Dr. Altcoin revealed that the Pi Network team has already implemented a strategy to absorb the extra Pi supply entering Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) to help stabilize the Pi coin price. He remarked that it has worked so far, seeing as the price has stabilized.
The expert made this revelation while explaining why the Pi coin hasn’t dropped to $0.30 or even lower amid the large volume of unlocked Pi. Instead, the coin has held above the $0.60 support.
Dr. Altcoin asserted that this move from the Pi Core Team proves that the project is not just another pump-and-dump project and that the coin is here to stay and lead. The expert admitted that he and the entire Pi community remain disappointed with the current price and the team’s ongoing lack of communication.
However, he hopes that the team resolves this soon. The expert also affirmed that the Pi Network has remained successful, consistently ranking in the top 30 crypto by market cap. He also stated that the recent strategy by the Pi Core Team to manage the influx of Pi is a clear sign of their long-term vision for the project.
It is worth mentioning that the expert also recently mentioned that the Consensus 2025 conference is pivotal for Pi’s ecosystem. He believes this is an avenue for the team to promote the project.
Pi Coin Price To Still Reach $314
In his post, Dr. Altcoin also stated that he believes that the Pi Network’s price can still reach $314 within the next five years. He added that he has never been more confident in the project’s future than he is today.
In line with this, he urged all Pi community members to continue supporting the project and keep buying the altcoin while it is still cheap. Community members look to be actively accumulating at the moment. As CoinGape reported, whales recently moved over 41 million Pi coins off exchanges, providing a bullish outlook for Pi Network’s price.
In the short term, crypto analysts like Moon Jeff predicted that the Pi coin price could reclaim the $1 level and rally to as high as $5 soon. A listing by a top crypto exchange could undoubtedly send the altcoin to new highs. CoinGape recently reported that the HTX exchange has hinted at a potential listing of the altcoin.
HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, unveiled its next-generation “Crypto Loans 2.0” product on May 19.
This enhanced version brings a refined structure and superior user experience, featuring multi-asset collateral, a smart dynamic Loan-to-Value (LTV) model, instant fund access, flexible repayment options, and zero fees. To mark this significant launch, HTX has rolled out two exclusive promotions: “Borrow & Earn” #7, where users can share a massive 5,000,000,000 $HTX prize pool, and the “Millions in Rewards Plus Margin Power-up” event, which provides BTC loan interest rates as low as 0.09% and an extra 10% discount on USDT loans.
Unlock Multiple Benefits with HTX Loan Products
To celebrate the grand launch of Crypto Loans 2.0 and commemorate the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, HTX is simultaneously launching “Borrow & Earn” #7 and an exclusive limited-time margin promotion, delivering substantial rewards to our valued users.
“Borrow & Earn” #7 runs from May 19 at 02:00 (UTC) to June 2 at 15:59 (UTC), featuring a total prize pool of 5,000,000,000 $HTX. Users simply need to borrow USDT using the Crypto Loans Flexible product during the event to earn a share of the $HTX prize pool, based on the interest paid — the more interest paid, the greater the rewards. Rewards will be credited to winners’ Spot accounts within 7 working days after the event ends.
Concurrently, HTX has launched an exclusive margin promotion, “Millions in Rewards Plus Margin Power-up”, active from May 20 at 10:00 (UTC) to June 2 at 10:00 (UTC). For a single USDT loan of $1,000,000 or more, users can enjoy an extra 10% interest rate discount! This brings the annual interest rate down to as low as 3.9% (or 0.01% daily). There is no limit on borrowing frequency and each qualifying loan benefits from this generous discount.
Don’t miss the Pizza Day 15th Anniversary Bonus! During the event, the top 10 users by cumulative loan volume will share 264,000,000 $HTX (worth $500). Register via the provided link to participate. Leverage these ultra-low interest rates to maximize potential returns and aim for substantial gains.
Optimized Borrowing Experience with Multi-Asset Collateral
Loan efficiency and asset liquidity have always been two major user-focused concerns. As a key highlight of this upgrade, HTX’s “Crypto Loans 2.0” introduces a multi-asset collateral mechanism, supporting over 20 mainstream cryptocurrencies as collateral assets, including USDT, BTC, ETH, TRX, DOGE, XRP, SOL, and AVAX. This significantly boosts users’ asset utilization efficiency.
To further enhance the borrowing experience, HTX has expanded its loanable assets to include SOL, TON, and USDC, with USDC also available as a collateral option. Unlike the traditional single-asset collateral model, the multi-asset collateral mechanism allows users to unlock liquidity from their holdings while effectively reducing the risk of forced liquidation due to single-asset volatility.
Another standout feature of this upgrade is HTX’s limited-time offer: an ultra-low 0.09% annual interest rate for BTC Flexible Loans, with borrowing limits up to 100 BTC. This remarkable rate represents a 555-fold reduction from the previous annual rate of over 5.0%, making it an exceptional deal. For example, borrowing BTC equivalent to approximately 1,000,000 USDT would incur a mere 2.37 USDT in daily interest — a truly remarkable saving.
Crypto Loans 2.0 also offers the following advantages:
● Smart Dynamic LTV Mechanism: Interest rates adjust in real time based on market conditions, ensuring industry-leading competitiveness. Annualized interest rates for Flexible Loans include 3.9% for USDT, 2.4% for ETH, and as low as 0.09% for BTC.
● Flexible Term Options: Supports flexible configuration for both flexible and fixed terms (7/30/45/90 days).
● Instant Fund Access & Flexible Repayment: Borrowed funds are delivered instantly, interest accrues every hour, and users enjoy the freedom to repay at any time, ensuring optimal fund efficiency.
● Institutional-Grade Risk Control: Supports overcollateralized loans with leverage capped under 1X and tiered liquidation to safeguard accounts. Users retain all remaining collateral assets.
● Personalized 1-on-1 VIP Service: Delivers customized loan limits, flexible currency selections, and special discounted interest rates for SVIP users.
Crypto Loans 2.0 is now live! Users can access it via the HTX website by clicking “Loans” > “Crypto Loans”, or through the HTX App by tapping “More” > “Crypto Loans”. Here’s how to get started:

President Donald Trump is considering a new round of stimulus checks targeting low-income Americans, according to unconfirmed reports.
The unconfirmed reports say that the proposal is under review as part of broader economic support plans. Though still a rumor, the move might mirror pandemic-era relief policies that injected billions into American households.
What Are Stimulus Checks?
Stimulus checks are direct cash payments from the federal government to eligible citizens. They aim to boost spending and reduce financial stress during economic downturns or emergencies.
In 2020, under the CARES Act, individuals received $1,200, while joint filers got $2,400. The government followed up with additional rounds in December 2020 and March 2021.
Trump’s name was printed on the memo line of the first batch, drawing criticism for politicizing aid.
However, the payments helped millions cover essentials—and many others turned to investing.
Stimulus Checks and the 2020 Crypto Boom
A significant portion of recipients used their stimulus checks to buy cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin.
Data from Coinbase and Binance at the time showed a spike in $1,200 BTC purchases within days of the disbursements.
Retail investors flooded into crypto markets, helping drive Bitcoin from around $7,000 in April 2020 to over $60,000 by April 2021.
Altcoins like Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Uniswap also saw parabolic growth in the months that followed.
Stimulus-fueled buying coincided with the rise of Robinhood traders, NFT speculation, and the first wave of DeFi expansion. It was a retail-driven phase that brought millions into digital assets.
Potential Impact on Crypto in 2025
If a new round of checks is approved, crypto markets could see renewed retail activity. This comes as institutional flows into Bitcoin ETFs have slowed in recent weeks, leaving room for consumer sentiment to move prices.
Unlike 2020, the crypto space in 2025 includes more onramps, tokenized assets, and mobile-first investing tools.
So, this makes it easier for users to convert stimulus cash into digital assets, especially stablecoins and trending tokens.
Mesh, a pioneering global crypto payments network established in 2020, has announced securing $82 million in funding to expand its global crypto payments infrastructure.
Its network, which interconnects prominent exchanges, wallets, and financial services, allows users to transact using various crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). Notably, merchants receive the equivalent value in stablecoins like PYUSD or USDC, ensuring predictable settlements.
As stablecoins gain prominence in global crypto payments, Mesh disclosed that a significant portion of its $82 million funding was settled in PayPal-backed USD stablecoin (PYUSD). The funding round was led by Paradigm, with participation from ConsenSys, QuantumLight Capital, and Yolo Investments—marking a major milestone in Mesh’s mission to enhance seamless crypto transactions and further integrate stablecoins into global payment networks.
Mesh’s Global Payment Network – ‘Making Crypto as simple as fiat’
Mesh, at the forefront of crypto payments innovation, provides users and merchants a secure, efficient, and user-friendly platform that connects exchanges, wallets, and financial services.
With over 300 supported platforms, including major crypto exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and MetaMask, Mesh enables users to transact directly from their wallets without requiring traditional intermediaries. This integration simplifies the payment process, eliminating the need for manual address entries or switching between platforms.
By eliminating the need for manual address inputs and reducing transaction friction, Mesh aims to streamline crypto adoption in everyday payments. Notably, last year in November, Mesh, as the U.S. fintech whose investors include PayPal Ventures, joined forces with Reown (formerly WalletConnect) to launch wallet ownership verification for UTXO-based assets, beginning with Bitcoin.
And now Mesh aims to use the newly secured funds to expand Mesh’s payment infrastructure, focusing on integrating more financial institutions and enabling broader stablecoin settlements.

Stablecoins at the Center of VC Funding
As mentioned, one of the most notable aspects of Mesh’s funding round is that a significant portion of the investment was settled using PayPal’s stablecoin (PYUSD). This highlights the growing role of stablecoins in institutional finance, demonstrating their ability to serve as a bridge between crypto and traditional financial ecosystems.
The adoption of stablecoins and the other cryptocurrencies for the global real-world payments has been witnessing accelerating attention with major firms such as Stripe, PayPal, Plume, among others, working towards it.
Stablecoins, such as PYUSD, USDC, and USDT, have gained traction as preferred digital assets for global payments due to their price stability and instant settlement capabilities. Mesh is actively working to enhance its stablecoin-based settlement network, allowing businesses to accept various cryptocurrencies while receiving stable and predictable payouts in USD-pegged digital assets.
In another recent boost to the accelerating stablecoin adoption, the US administration has been witnessing significant momentum in Washington for the passage of new Stablecoin Bill, known as Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.
The Future of Crypto Payments
As crypto adoption continues to grow, the demand for reliable payment infrastructure is increasing. Mesh’s success in securing $82 million in funding signals a strong market demand for frictionless, stablecoin-based payments.
With an increasing number of companies and merchants embracing crypto transactions, Mesh is well-positioned to become a key player in the Web3 financial ecosystem. As the regulatory landscape evolves and stablecoins gain wider acceptance, platforms like Mesh will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between crypto and traditional finance.
Thus, with the backing of leading investors and a clear roadmap for expansion, Mesh is poised to reshape the future of digital transactions. As the company scales its operations, the impact of stablecoins and crypto payments on mainstream finance is expected to grow, paving the way for a more efficient and interconnected digital economy.
