A strange event has caught the attention of the Pi Network community this week. A wallet related to Binance's Stellar deposits, which has been used in Pi Coin transactions, has shown new activity. This is enough to fuel rumors that Binance may be quietly preparing for the integration of the Pi Chain or even the listing of $PI in the future.
Binance has not made any official announcements. But according to what blockchain observers have noted, some small transactions resembling tests have been processed through the same wallet responsible for handling previous movements connected to Pi. The timing has really sparked speculation.
Ecosystem Update
The wallet activity occurred earlier, just a few days before the upcoming Pi Network update. On May 14th, the Pi Core Team will review and may approve some third-party applications for listing on its ecosystem. This is one of the steps being taken to integrate more use cases into the network, especially after the open mainnet release in February.
That launch was a turning point for Pi, which now has over 60 million users globally. However, the project still needs to address important concerns such as incomplete smart contract functionality, slow transaction speeds, and strict liquidity constraints. These vulnerabilities make it difficult for Pi to attract meaningful developer attention to create applications and services.
The Pi Price Remains Stable
The PI coin has shown quite good performance recently. This currency has maintained a solid growth momentum over the past seven days with a 2% increase, data from Coingecko shows. Ongoing rumors about a listing on Binance could push the price of this coin even higher or may keep it stable.
Binance's Silence Leaves the Market Guessing
While some in the cryptocurrency community are optimistic, others remain on the sidelines. Binance has not said anything about Pi Coin. That hasn’t stopped online chatter, but certainly there are still many unanswered questions.
There is no evidence that Binance is looking to list Pi Coin – at least not by the time this report was made – and the wallet transfer could just be a coincidence.
Meanwhile, the Pi community is awaiting new news. Significant changes may occur on May 14th. If the activity on the Binance wallet is just the tip of a larger iceberg and if PI is indeed listed, that will change the course of the project.
