Pi Network's native token (PI) continues to trade in a tight range between $0.44-$0.50 despite broader crypto market gains, with current prices at $0.45 (down 4% daily and 26% monthly). Market expert Kim H. Wong identifies three critical barriers to PI listings on Binance and Coinbase: non-open-sourced blockchain code, absence of third-party security audits, and potential non-application for listings by Pi Network itself.
Wong notes exchanges prioritize verified security and compliance, which PI currently lacks despite ecosystem developments like its $100 million venture fund and AI-powered Pi App Studio. Meanwhile, analyst Dr. Altcoin counters that PI could surge 100-300X organically within five years through peer-to-peer adoption and utility growth, dismissing exchange listings as non-essential catalysts.
Community debate intensifies as PI drops out of top 30 cryptocurrencies, with skeptics citing low liquidity, increased token unlocks, and centralized control by Pi's Core Team as additional headwinds.
