Pi Network's PI Token Tanks Hard, Bitcoin Drops $3K From Local Peak: Weekend Watch

Bitcoin slipped from a local high of $78,400 to trade nearer $75,000 amid renewed Middle East tensions, knocking more than $3,000 off the recent peak and boosting volatility ahead of open markets. The correction dragged most altcoins lower: the total crypto market cap has erased roughly $100 billion since Friday to about $2.62 trillion, while BTC dominance rose to ~57.5%. Notable movers include Ethereum (down ~3.5% to around $2,300) and AAVE (crashed >20% to ~$92 after the KelpDAO hack). Smaller tokens such as PI also fell sharply, signaling broad risk‑off flows across crypto.
