Altcoins today: PEPE eyes historical breakout, Pi Network opens ad access to all dApps

The altcoin space is buzzing as Bitcoin teases a break past the $85K resistance, trading at $85,939.

Frog-themed PEPE flashed bullish signs after consolidation, hinting at an October-style rally that saw it gaining over 100%.

Meanwhile, the mobile-first cryptocurrency platform Pi Network has opened access to its Ad Network to all decentralized applications in its ecosystem.

PEPE gears up for 100% breakout

The meme crypto seems poised for breakouts after prolonged sideways price actions.

Analysts project an over 100% rally for PEPE, comparing its current structure with its October pattern, which triggered explosive surges.

World of Charts highlighted PEPE’s optimistic setup on the 24-hour chart.

Last week’s 20% price surge propelled the alt through crucial resistance barriers with steady trading volumes.

The analyst observed a familiar pattern, where months-long consolidation precedes sudden rallies.

With meme cryptocurrencies gaining traction, PEPE appears ripe for massive gains.

Notably, PEPE outperformed in 2024, netting over 1,400% YoY gains.

While it has lost over 60% in Q1 2025, historical setups hint at sharp breakouts, similar to its 230% surge that saw PEPE hitting $0.00002597 on 14 November 2024.

The meme token trades at $0.000007418 with a mild 0.85% surge in the past 24 hours.

Pi Network’s Ad Network opened to all dApps

Pi Network has opened its Ad Network to all ecosystem-listed decentralized applications (dApps).

The mode represents a strategic step toward monetizing the mobile-first blockchain, which boasts over 50 million pioneers worldwide.

The Ad Network allows developers to integrate adverts and earn revenue in PI tokens.  

Previously, the project allowed a few dApps to leverage its ad Network.

However, it has expanded access to all decentralized applications on its platform, enabling developers to earn returns via in-app advertisements.

That matches Pi Network’s objective of enriching the Web3 economy through smartphone users.

Developers access a massive user base with lucrative monetization tools while users enjoy more engaging applications with real-world utility.

Moreover, pioneers will enjoy tangible product launches. The team stated:

Surprisingly, PI Coin plunged amidst the bullish developments.

While most altcoins saw brief recoveries in the past 24 hours, Pi lost nearly 10% on its 24-hour chart to trade at $0.6733.

Meanwhile, digital assets flashed recoveries today as the global cryptocurrency market cap increased by 2% in the past 24 hours to $2.77 trillion.

Bitcoin trades above $85K, hinting at upside breakouts to $90K.

Analyst Michael van de Poppe expects rallies upon a $87K retest.

Bulls should ensure a decisive closing above the $90K psychological market to support uptrends to fresh ATHs.
