In the following lines, we will touch upon everything most interesting and important involving these cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<h2>Pi Network\u2019s Latest Update<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this week, Pi Network\u2019s 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\u2019s data), representing a 10% drop on a weekly scale.<\/p>\n<p>The consistent price decline and the project\u2019s 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>What\u2019s Next for XRP?<\/h2>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s cross-border token has also headed south recently, further strengthening the bears\u2019 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 \u201cthe biggest altcoin play in the market at some stage.\u201d The analyst noted the formation of a classic \u201ccup and handle pattern,\u201d which points to a potential price explosion to $5.<\/p>\n<h2>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 \u201cplayed off the OTE selling area at $3,400,\u201d <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 \u201chighly likely\u201d 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\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pi Network (PI), Ripple (XRP), and Ethereum (ETH) have posted substantial price declines over the past week, driven by global geopolitical tensions surrounding Trump\u2019s intentions to annex Greenland.
