Binance Snubs Pi Coin in Latest “Vote to List” Campaign
Binance recently left Pi coin out of its “Vote to List” campaign, sparking backlash from the Pi network community. This decision comes after Binance had previously conducted a vote on whether to list Pi coin, leading many to question why it was suddenly excluded. The burning question in the crypto world remains: When will Binance finally list Pi coin?
Pi Network, known for its easy smartphone mining feature, has built a strong and loyal community over the past six years. The long-awaited Pi Network mainnet went live on February 20, enabling Pi coin to be traded on open markets. Several major exchanges, including OKX, Bitget, Gate.io, and MEXC, have already listed the PI token, fueling excitement around the project. However, many in the community are still eagerly awaiting Binance’s decision.
Will Binance Add Pi Coin Soon?
Earlier this week, Binance launched a “Vote to List” campaign to gauge user interest in listing Pi coin. Out of 294,960 votes, an overwhelming 86% supported adding Pi coin to the exchange. Despite this strong demand, Binance has not provided any updates on the listing. 
The Pi community grew even more frustrated when Binance released another “Vote to List” announcement, featuring a selection of cryptocurrencies for users to vote on—but Pi coin was not included. Binance explained that only tokens from the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) were part of the campaign. However, the presence of lesser-known memecoins like Broccoli, Mubarak, and TUT over Pi coin angered the community.
A prominent X account, “Pi Network News Global,” expressed disappointment, stating:
“No Shiba, no Doge, no Pepe, no Ethereum, no BNB, no Solana—none of them would have received as strong a vote as Pi Network. We have redefined the word ‘crypto community.’”
Some Pi supporters have even suggested launching their own exchange, dubbed “Pinance,” to prevent reliance on platforms like Binance.
Why is Binance Ignoring Pi Coin?
Despite the strong community demand, Binance appears to be deliberately avoiding Pi coin. While the exact reasons remain unclear, Binance’s recent vote only featured BSC-based tokens, excluding Pi.
Additionally, the Pi Network has faced criticism over migration delays and reports of lost Pi coins. Some investors have even labeled it a scam due to unresolved migration issues. Bybit CEO Ben Zhou recently fueled these concerns by making scam allegations against the Pi Network.
As the leading crypto exchange, Binance may be taking a cautious approach, possibly waiting for the Pi Network to improve its reputation before listing its token.
Is Pi Network Bigger Than Binance?
Amid the speculation, a Reddit user “Shoddy_Magazine_9231” shared a thought-provoking perspective:
“PI’s success won’t be defined by when it’s listed on Binance. It’ll be defined by how well we build something that truly empowers people. Let’s focus on that—because that’s how we make PI everything it’s meant to be.”
While the community awaits Binance’s decision, Pi coin is currently trading at $1.13, reflecting a 0.26% increase in the past 24 hours. Instead of dwelling on exchange listings, perhaps the focus should be on building the ecosystem that makes Pi truly valuable.
