The Pi Network is drawing attention as a wallet named "ODM" has quickly bought millions of PI tokens. This has sparked much speculation within the community about the purpose of this wallet and its potential impact on the network.
Pi Network Activity Surges Amid Major Accumulation
Data from PiScan shows that a mysterious "ODM" wallet has received 2.8 million Pi tokens from the OKX exchange. Earlier this month, this wallet also withdrew 3.5 million Pi tokens. Currently, the total number of Pi tokens held is about 315 million. This number is large enough to impact liquidity and token distribution within the Pi Network ecosystem.

This wave of buying has sparked rumors that this wallet may be controlled by the Pi Core Team (PCT) itself. Some observers believe that this could be a wallet for buying back PI tokens in preparation for listing on a new exchange.
In the Pi Network community, there are many hypotheses. Some members even refer to ODM as the "new Satoshi wallet," likening its strategic accumulation to the mysterious initial holdings of Bitcoin.
Notably, some believe that large wallets, such as ODM, often emerge before significant events in the ecosystem. A similar pattern also occurs when blockchain networks announce major upgrades, launch new liquidity pools, or form partnerships with institutions.
Will the Pi Group Buy Back This Stock in the Context of Major Unlocking?
There has been much speculation that this could be a move by the Pi Core team to stabilize prices or build reserves for future DeFi tools and ecosystem funding. Theoretically, a few powerful holders could influence market prices, liquidity events, and market sentiment.
If the ODM wallet is confirmed to be a buyback wallet, it could take on multiple roles. This includes balancing the number of available tokens, improving the liquidity pool for decentralized exchanges, and funding hackathon competitions as well as developer grants. Such changes could help bolster investor confidence in the growth potential of the token.
The increase in wallet activity comes at a crucial time for the Pi Network, as investors are concerned about its long-term future. As reported by CoinGape, investors have expressed concerns about the unlocking plan, which could lead to strong selling pressure. Historically, large token unlocks have often caused significant drops in other cryptocurrencies, especially when market demand is insufficient to absorb the newly released supply.
The price of Pi Coin has remained almost unchanged due to continuous high volatility, despite recent updates, including the release of Pi Node v0.5.3. However, there is now much speculation that the recent activity around this mysterious ODM wallet could be a well-calculated effort by insiders to stabilize the token.
