Pi coin fell 15% to $0.0830 despite the launch of Protocol 27, with trading volume up 184.5% to $15.73 million. The drop is attributed to profit-taking, with the upgrade aiming to enhance smart contract authentication. The Mainnet transition is ongoing, and the next update, V28, is planned but unscheduled.
