Pi Coin Gains Strong Support in Binance Community Vote Ahead of Mainnet Launch
Pi Coin, the token of the Pi Network, has received overwhelming support in a recent Binance community vote on its potential listing. The vote, which was launched on February 17, has seen 85% of participants voting in favor of listing Pi Coin on the Binance platform.
How the Voting Process Works
To participate in the vote, users must log into their verified Binance accounts and maintain at least $5 worth of assets in their exchange wallets during the voting period. The voting period is set to end on February 27 at 23:59 UTC. It is essential to note that the vote does not guarantee a listing on Binance.
Pi Network’s Vision and Approach
Launched on March 14, 2019, Pi Network’s vision has always been to create a more accessible cryptocurrency than Bitcoin. Its approach enables users to mine Pi Coins directly from their smartphones without the need for energy-intensive processes like traditional cryptocurrencies. Users earn mining rewards based on when they signed up, with earlier joiners receiving higher earning rates. They can also increase their rewards by inviting new users or creating a security circle.
OKX Announces Support for Pi Coin
Crypto exchange OKX has announced support for the PI/USDT trading pair, set to go live on February 20. However, after its launch, Pi Coin may face significant selling pressure as long-time miners finally get the chance to sell their holdings.
Pi Network’s Mainnet Launch and Ecosystem
The mainnet launch, set to take place on February 20, marks a significant milestone for Pi Network. Going live on the mainnet means Pi Coin holders will finally be able to convert their coins into fiat currencies after years of mining. It also opens the Pi ecosystem to a wider audience and gives users access to about 80 community-built apps, including Map of Pi, Pi Game, Care for Pi, and 1pi Mall.
Controversy Surrounding Pi Launch
Pi Network has faced heavy criticism for its long development process and lack of exchange listings. Some skeptics have compared it to Ponzi schemes, while others accuse the team of delaying the launch to keep users engaged. The project has been called a pyramid scheme due to its referral-based mining system.
Defending Pi’s Credibility
Analyst Kim Wong has defended Pi’s credibility, calling it the only crypto network to enable “instantaneous cross-border bartering and transactions.” Wong highlighted that Pi is distributed across 200+ countries, with over 100 million registered users, 65 million of whom are active. He also emphasized its versatility, noting that while it can serve as a widely used digital currency, its “growing ecosystem also supports all other blockchain functions.”
“If you still don’t know what Pi Network is, or if you still think it’s a scam, you’re really falling behind and need to catch up!”

Before investing in Pi Coin, consider the following:
* Conduct thorough research on Pi Network and its ecosystem.
* Understand the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies.
* Set clear investment goals and risk tolerance.
* Diversify your investment portfolio to minimize risk.
