Pi Network Price Drops 16.65% Amid Binance Integration Speculation

Recent developments within the Pi Network community have sparked speculation about a potential integration with Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange. The community's excitement stems from the discovery of a Binance wallet being tested on the Pi mainnet. This revelation has led to significant discussions and predictions about the future price trajectory of the Pi coin, with some enthusiasts speculating that it could reach a Global Consensus Value (GCV) of $314,159.

The Pi Network price has been on a decline, trading at $0.61 with a 16.65% daily loss, reflecting the broader crypto market's bearish trend. However, the news of a potential Binance wallet integration has ignited optimism among Pi Network supporters, who believe this could shift the price trajectory to a bullish direction. The GCV, a belief-driven valuation method, represents a target value for Pi that is supported by the community. Despite the current bearish market conditions, where the Pi Network price has dropped by 55.86% over the past month, there is positive news as the Pi coin has recovered 56.16% since hitting $0.4 on April 5.

The evidence supporting the Pi Binance wallet integration comes from an X post by Pi enthusiast Dimas Nawawi. He shared screenshots from the Pi Block Explorer, revealing small and seemingly predetermined transactions. The pattern of activity and address structure suggests that the wallet has likely been used for testing, hinting at new steps for further integration. The code from Pi Network’s backend infrastructure also targets $314,159 as the price, with a 5% tolerance margin. Additionally, the code reveals a design for calling ccxt. binance and ccxt.kraken, indicating that it is coded to extract pricing data from these exchanges in the future.

While these clues point to a potential integration with Binance, there are no clear indications regarding a Binance listing. The code and transaction patterns suggest dApp integration rather than a direct listing on the exchange. The community is divided on whether the GCV target price of $314,159 is realistic or merely a hopeful prediction. Supporters of this price prediction argue that the Pi token pricing system is unique, allowing the community to set the price through collective consensus. They believe that the most common use cases for Pi could be in community settings, such as barter systems and marketplaces.

However, the possibility of the Pi Network price realistically hitting the GCV in the short or medium term is considered nonexistent. With billions of Pi tokens in circulation, achieving a market capitalization that outgrows the global capital is highly unlikely. The Pi team has remained silent on these developments, causing frustration among the community. As the Open Mainnet launch approaches, the community hopes for further communication and new influential partnerships from the Pi team.
