Whole-wheat toast with nut or seed butter, banana and cinnamon. A slice of whole-wheat toast with your choice of something like peanut, almond or sunflower seed butter topped with slices of banana and a sprinkling of cinnamon is a great pre-workout snack. It gives you simple and complex carbs, is easy to digest, increases your potassium levels (which drop when you sweat) and stabilizes your blood sugar.
Apple slices and yogurt peanut butter dip. Mix nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt with peanut or almond butter to make a dip that’s perfect for apple slices. Consider adding grapes or raisins for an extra kick of energy.
Heart-healthy cereal. Pour yourself a serving of whole-grain cereal mixed with uncooked oatmeal, slivered almonds and chopped dates. Add low-fat milk or almond milk and you’re good to go.
Half of a lean protein sandwich on whole-wheat bread. Make yourself a sandwich with chicken, turkey or lean roast beef on whole-wheat bread for a great mix of carbs and protein. Veggies like lettuce, tomato or spinach will add nutrients.
Smoothie. The best thing about smoothies is that they’re portable and easy to customize. Blend sliced fruit, Greek yogurt and some granola or oats for a thicker consistency, and consider add-ins like protein powder, kale or peanut butter.
Hashflow (HFT), a decentralized exchange (DEX) that uses a Request for Quote (RFQ) mechanism, has just posted a sharp spike in trading volume and impressive price performance at the start of July.
While the broader altcoin market still struggles to recover, what helped HFT move against the trend?
Hashflow (HFT) Leads DEX Tokens With a Gain of Over 100%
According to data from BeInCrypto, HFT’s price soared more than 100% in just the past two days. Currently, HFT is trading around $0.135 — its highest price since February 2025.
On June 30, HFT recorded a daily increase of over 80%. That day marked its strongest single-day performance since the peak back in 2023.
Additionally, CoinMarketCap data shows HFT’s 24-hour spot trading volume has surpassed half a billion USD. This is the highest daily volume of the year and is 25 times higher than its recent daily average.
This price surge has made HFT the best performer among DEX tokens, making the DEX sector the best-performing crypto segment over the past week.
Data suggests investors are buying back into HFT heavily after the token lost up to 95% of its value over nearly three years.
What’s Driving HFT’s Price Rally?
In June, Binance announced support for HFT deposits on the Solana network, alongside other integrations with platforms like Jupiter and Titan.
“Hashflow is growing fast in the Solana ecosystem. Binance now supports HFT on Solana and so do we. We’ve already integrated with Jupiter, Kamino, and Titan. More integrations are coming,” Hashflow stated.
These developments may have sparked positive investor sentiment and fueled HFT’s price rally.
However, this rally could face some challenges. First, the project’s token unlock schedule continues daily and will last until the end of 2028. Currently, only 36.5% of HFT’s total supply is in circulation, while each month, an additional 15.8 million HFT—equal to 1.58% of the total supply—is unlocked.
Moreover, CoinMarketCap data shows that nearly 70% of HFT’s supply is held by whales.

Although holders who have kept tokens for over a year account for more than 71%, many have endured a price drop of over 90% in nearly three years. These long-term holders might sell if the price recovers.
Although HFT’s price surged, Hashflow’s TVL showed no significant breakout. It remains modest at just $618,000, while its daily DEX trading volume stands around $7.6 million.
Together, these data points highlight that the real challenge for Hashflow lies in sustaining this price momentum, rather than it being just a short-term breakout.

Pi Network, a prominent crypto project with a large user community, faces major pressure in Q2 2025. Although public interest in the project has declined, many Pioneers still hope for a strong price rally.
However, a significant amount of Pi tokens will be unlocked this month and in the coming months. This, combined with weakening liquidity, could make it difficult for Pi Coin to recover.
Pi Network Trading Volume Plummets as Circulating Supply Rises Sharply
According to data from PiScan, 212.2 million Pi tokens will be unlocked in May, 222.6 million in June, and 233.4 million in July. Notably, the period from May to July will see the largest Pi unlock events until September 2027.
This sharp increase in supply, along with the rising number of Pi tokens held on exchanges, is adding serious downward pressure on the price. PiScan data shows that the total Pi balance on centralized exchanges (CEXs) now exceeds 387 million tokens. Compared to a report in February, the amount of Pi on exchanges has doubled in less than three months.
Specifically, Bitget holds over 95 million Pi, while OKX holds nearly 154 million. This increase suggests that many investors may be ready to sell, increasing the risk of a price drop even if a short-term recovery occurs.
More concerning is the lack of liquidity growth alongside the rise in circulating supply. CoinMarketCap data reveals that Pi Coin’s trading volume has plunged from over $1.3 billion at launch to about $45 million—a 96% drop.
This dramatic decrease reflects a sharp decline in trading demand, raising concerns about the market’s ability to absorb newly unlocked supply.
Why Pioneers Still Expect Pi Price to Rebound in May
Despite the challenges, the Pi investor community holds an optimistic outlook.
Their hopes are partly based on unconfirmed rumors that surfaced in early May, suggesting Binance may list Pi. A Pi investor account with over 100,000 followers on X claimed that the Pi Core Team and Binance are in the final stages of negotiation.
“Soon! Pi will be listed on Binance Exchange, PCT is in final negotiation with Binance,” Pi Barter Mall declared.
Another key factor supporting a bullish outlook is the upcoming appearance of Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, the founder of Pi Network, at Consensus 2025.
In addition, since its mainnet launch, Pi Network has achieved several milestones. These include Chainlink integrating with the Pi Network and Telegram Crypto Wallet integrating Pi as well.
At the time of writing, Pi’s price remains steady at around $0.58, as it has since the beginning of May. This reflects the cautious sentiment of Pi traders this month.
