The post Will Binance Even List Pi, or Is It Just Unnecessary Hype? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
With just a few days left until Pi Network’s mainnet launch, the excitement around Pi Coin is growing fast. Its recent 100% price surge after getting listed on OKX has sparked talks about a possible Binance listing. But there is no official confirmation from Binance or the Pi Core Team raises a big question—will Binance list Pi, or is it just another overhyped rumor?
The Hype vs. Reality of Pi Coin
Pi Network is different from traditional cryptocurrencies because it allows mining through smartphones, making it more accessible. While the project has attracted over 100 million users, its path to becoming a fully tradable asset remains unclear.
Meanwhile, Pi Network’s growing popularity on X has overtaken Ethereum and XRP, making it one of the top 5 most followed cryptocurrencies worldwide. But despite this, no major exchange has fully backed it yet.
Some argue that Pi Coin was never meant for speculation but rather for real-world utility through a barter system. If it sticks to this model without exchange listings, its adoption could grow slowly but steadily.
But if major exchanges list it, the price could surge rapidly, attracting more investors. However, without a strong use case, it could face the same fate as previous overhyped projects Berachain, Hamster, etc that collapsed once the initial hype faded.
Binance’s Position: A Tough Decision
The big question is—will Binance list Pi Coin? So far, Bybit has ruled it out, HTX removed its Pi/USDT pair, and Bitget deleted multiple Pi-related posts. This shows that big exchanges are hesitant to list Pi due to concerns about its legitimacy.
Another issue is China’s scrutiny of Pi Network, where has been called a pyramid scheme by some. Binance is careful about its listings, and unless Pi proves to be fully launched and legitimate, Binance may not take the risk.
Is Pi’s Price Rally Sustainable?
Speculation places Pi Coin’s 2025 price between $93 and $220, with an average estimate of $141. But as of now, Pi is trading around $72 after a 10% drop, raising doubts about whether its rally is sustainable.
Until Binance makes an official statement, Pi’s listing remains nothing more than speculation, and the hype surrounding it might just be another bubble waiting to burst.
