The claim has intensified discussions among Pi Network users who have long anticipated the coin’s listing on major global exchanges. The speculation follows a tweet by Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, in March. Grewal had posted a picture featuring purple pies with the Pi logo, reigniting rumors about a future listing of Pi Coin.
As Pi Network aims to increase its liquidity, a Coinbase listing would provide greater exposure and trading opportunities for users. Analysts believe such a move could significantly boost the network’s presence in the cryptocurrency market. However, until official confirmation from Coinbase, the listing remains speculative.
Pi Network’s Binance Integration Delays and Swapfone Listing
Pi Network has also generated attention with potential plans for integration with Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Screenshots surfaced earlier this year, showing Binance Connect and Binance P2P options in the Pi Wallet’s Help & Support menu. While these hints sparked excitement, community members noted that integration could face delays due to the network’s current issues.
The primary challenges highlighted include concerns over the lack of utility and decentralization within Pi Network. These issues could delay the listing of Pi Coin on Binance. Nevertheless, Pi Network took a significant step in July with its listing on Swapfone, a US-regulated mobile-focused exchange.
Swapfone launched the PI/USDS trading pair, marking the first notable step for Pi Coin into the American trading scene. This new listing introduces Pi Coin to a broader audience, although it remains a minor exchange compared to giants like Binance and Coinbase. With these developments, Pi Network continues to expand its presence in the global cryptocurrency market.
Pi Network’s Open Source Transition Nears Completion
Pi Network is on the brink of a major transition with its open-source development nearing completion. According to Pi News Media, the open-source progress bar has reached 90%, signaling that the network may soon fully open its code. The transition is expected to enhance the network’s transparency and foster greater trust within the blockchain community.
While Pi Network’s core protocol remains closed for now, the open-source initiative is expected to enable developers to build applications on the Pi OS. This will help expand the network’s real-world use cases and applications. Pi Network’s ongoing Hackathon encourages developers to create more practical applications to boost the network’s growth.
Additionally, experts suggest that the upcoming Stellar Protocol 23 upgrade could benefit Pi Network’s infrastructure. The improvements in scalability and efficiency could strengthen Pi’s ecosystem ahead of the open-source release. As the transition progresses, Pi Network continues to move towards greater decentralization and development.
