In the following lines, we will touch upon everything most interesting and important involving these cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pi-networks-latest-update\">Pi Network&#8217;s Latest Update<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this week, Pi Network&#8217;s Core Team <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-network-rolls-out-second-major-update-for-2026-key-details-for-pi-users\/\">introduced<\/a> Pi payment integration directly within the Pi App Studio. The development is especially important for non-technical users, as it allows them to build on the ecosystem without technical expertise or coding. However, they are still limited to the test version only.<\/p>\n<p>The team also launched a new option that enables Pioneers to deploy app iterations without paying Pi by watching ads. Additionally, it urged all users to share feedback and mention their favorite applications via a short survey. The first 1,000 qualified participants will receive 5 Pi token credits usable within the Pi App Studio.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement triggered a brief price uptick for PI, which was quickly followed by a renewed downtrend. Currently, PI trades at around $0.18 (per CoinGecko&#8217;s data), representing a 10% drop on a weekly scale.<\/p>\n<p>The consistent price decline and the project&#8217;s flaws have caused many community members to lose trust in Pi Network and become pessimistic about the future. Recently, X user open mainnet <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/3-potential-game-changers-for-pi-networks-ecosystem-analyst-insight\/\">advised<\/a> the team to incorporate key features, such as peer-to-peer lending, staking rewards, and decentralized exchanges, into the application that should accelerate real-world adoption.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"whats-next-for-xrp\">What&#8217;s Next for XRP?<\/h2>\n<p>Ripple&#8217;s cross-border token has also headed south recently, further strengthening the bears&#8217; current reign. Several hours ago, the popular analyst Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-xrp-reversal-alert-why-2-is-the-critical-level-now\/\">outlined<\/a> three key price levels to watch: resistance at $1.97 and $2, and support at $1.78. XRP currently trades at around $1.91, suggesting that the probability of a dip below $1.80 has increased.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the amount of XRP tokens stored on Binance continues to decline. As <em>CryptoPotato<\/em> recently <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-supply-shock-billions-leave-binance-but-price-struggles\/\">reported<\/a>, the supply has fallen to around 5.55 billion coins, indicating that more investors are abandoning the platform and shifting to self-custody. This is interpreted as a bullish factor since it reduces the immediate selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, crypto X remains rammed with optimists. DrBullZeus, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DrBullZeus\/status\/2014557165701472290\">believes<\/a> XRP will be &#8220;the biggest altcoin play in the market at some stage.&#8221; The analyst noted the formation of a classic &#8220;cup and handle pattern,&#8221; which points to a potential price explosion to $5.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eth-is-back-under-3k\">ETH is Back Under $3K<\/h2>\n<p>The second-largest cryptocurrency had an impressive start to the year, with its valuation rising to almost $3,400 by mid-January. Since then, though, it has entered a major correction and currently trades at approximately $2,900. According to X user Kamran Asghar, ETH &#8220;played off the OTE selling area at $3,400,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/eth-crashes-12-weekly-is-a-drop-to-2600-next\/\">claiming<\/a> an additional plunge to $2,600 could be in the cards.<\/p>\n<p>Ted is also pessimistic after <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TedPillows\/status\/2014624845473185932\">arguing<\/a> that the uptrend support has been lost. He thinks a sweep of the $2,800-$2,850 support level before the next rally seems &#8220;highly likely&#8221; for Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/recent-pi-network-pi-updates-ripple-xrp-price-targets-and-more-bits-recap-jan-23rd\/\">Recent Pi Network (PI) Updates, Ripple (XRP) Price Targets, and More: Bits Recap Jan 23rd<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/recent-pi-network-pi-updates-ripple-xrp-price-targets-and-more-bits-recap-jan-23rd\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pi Network (PI), Ripple (XRP), and Ethereum (ETH) have posted substantial price declines over the past week, driven&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40424,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
