Pi Network Adds 'Buy' and Exchange Features, 1.75% Price Drop Amid Binance Speculation

Pi Network has rolled out two significant enhancements to its Pi Wallet, aiming to streamline user interactions and expand market accessibility. The first update introduces a dedicated “BUY” button, enabling users to purchase PI tokens directly within the wallet. Previously, users relied on peer-to-peer trading or external platforms for fiat-to-crypto transactions. The new feature, now active for users in restricted regions, integrates with payment methods such as credit cards and Google Pay, addressing a key limitation for the project’s 100 million+ mobile-mining participants [2]. This move aligns with Pi Network’s broader strategy to transition from a closed, invitation-only model to a functional open-market cryptocurrency [2].

The second update includes the addition of “Exchanges” and “Mine Pi for Free” buttons on the wallet’s “Buy” screen, alongside on-ramp integrations via Onramper. While the Core Team has not confirmed direct exchange partnerships, the inclusion of these buttons suggests potential future integrations with platforms like Binance, which recently listed PI on Swapfone, a U.S.-regulated exchange [3]. Traders and influencers, including Pi advocate Mr. Spock, interpret these changes as signals of a possible listing on Binance, though this remains unconfirmed [1]. The wallet also now features “Binance Connect” and “Binance P2P” options in the Help & Support menu, further fueling speculation about expanded exchange access [1].

The updates follow Pi Network’s recent listing of PI on Swapfone, which launched the PI/USDS trading pair on July 22, 2025, accompanied by a promotional airdrop [3]. Despite these advancements, the PI token’s price has faced downward pressure, trading at $0.44530 as of July 25, 2025, with a 1.75% decline in 24 hours. Broader market volatility, including Bitcoin’s pullback to $117,000, has contributed to this trend [5]. The token’s unlock schedule also adds near-term challenges: over 10 million coins will be released on July 28 and 29, potentially increasing selling pressure. However, future unlocks are expected to be smaller, offering a potential floor for price stability [4].

Technical analysts note a possible support zone near $0.42, where a double bottom and rounding bottom pattern has emerged. Continued adoption of Pi’s decentralized application (DApp) ecosystem and fiat on-ramps could reinforce this support, catalyzing a recovery [6]. The Core Team has also announced plans to deploy 100 DApps on its browser, aiming to facilitate global commerce using PI tokens [7]. These developments highlight Pi Network’s dual focus on usability and market expansion, bridging its grassroots community with institutional trading ecosystems.
