The post Wake Up Call? Analyst Warns Pi Network After Mantra Crypto Crash Erases $6B appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The crypto industry was left stunned.
MANTRA – one of the most trusted real-world asset tokens – dropped by 95% in just a few hours. The sudden crash has left the crypto world stunned, with billions in value wiped out almost instantly. What went wrong? And could it happen again – with other major projects?
Now, popular crypto analyst Dr. Altcoin is sounding the alarm, urging the Pi Network team to take a hard look at what happened with Mantra and avoid walking the same path. Here’s what unfolded—and why the entire crypto space should be paying close attention.
OM Token Falls Hard
OM is the native token of the Mantra blockchain, which aims to bring real-world assets like houses and land onto the blockchain in digital form. It was considered a reliable project and had even reached the top 25 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
But things changed quickly. In just one hour, OM’s price dropped from $6.10 to $0.38. This crash erased over $6 billion in value, and many investors lost their life savings.
A Warning for Pi Network
Dr. Altcoin called this a serious warning for the entire crypto space. He specifically urged the Pi Core Team (PCT) to pay attention to what happened with Mantra OM and take steps to avoid a similar disaster.
He pointed out that Pi Network is now moving from its Open Network phase to the Open Mainnet—an important milestone that also brings more responsibility.
Dr. Altcoin stressed that before this big transition, the Pi team should speed up the development of safety measures. He also said that the team needs to be more transparent, have clear rules, and communicate openly with their community.
Mixed Reactions From the Pi Community
After Dr. Altcoin shared his views on X, many users responded. Some agreed with his warning, while others defended the Pi Core Team.
One user said Pi Network is not like other projects that pump and dump their coins. They believe the team is focused on building real value and growing the network step by step.
Another user pointed out that the Pi team has been quiet recently, but said this could be part of their plan. They believe the team is working hard behind the scenes and will speak when the time is right.
Do you think pi core team would want anything that will damage their reputation?
Pi coin is not pump and dump. They are still building utility and the network.
If Pi network play a rug game of massive dumping like that it will be removed from here first of: pic.twitter.com/eKjh8OsGF6

In crypto, trust can vanish fast – Mantra’s fall is proof that even the strongest hype can have weak foundations.
