With Bitcoin inching ever closer to the $100,000 milestone, excitement is rippling across the altcoin market—and Pi Coin is right in the thick of it. Over the last 24 hours, Pi has rallied nearly 8%, now trading just shy of the $0.70 resistance level. If that barrier gives way, analysts suggest $0.90 or even the coveted $1 mark could be next in line.
So what’s driving the latest surge? A cocktail of hype, rumors, and upcoming milestones has breathed fresh life into the Pi ecosystem.
Binance Listing Rumors Stir the Pot
At the center of the buzz are renewed whispers of a potential Binance listing. The chatter began after observers noticed that Binance’s Stellar deposit address—also used for Pi transactions—had started testing activity on the Pi blockchain. That alone was enough to get the community talking.
While Binance hasn’t officially confirmed anything, the timing couldn’t be more intriguing. There’s growing belief that a listing could be announced at Pi Network’s upcoming global event.
May 14: A Date to Watch
The Pi Network team has circled May 14 for what they’re calling a major announcement. That’s when they’ll take the stage at the Consensus Summit in Toronto—marking their first-ever global event. Founder Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis is expected to share key updates, especially around the Open Mainnet, which launched earlier this year in February 2025.
This combination of visibility, roadmap updates, and potential exchange listings is building serious momentum.
What Do Analysts Think?
Crypto analyst Dr. Altcoin believes the market is underestimating Pi Coin. With a reported 70 million users globally, he argues Pi Network’s scale is simply too massive for major exchanges like Binance or Coinbase to ignore. Interestingly, Binance ads have already been spotted within the Pi app itself—something that’s hard to overlook.
Still, not everything is rosy. Over the past two weeks, Pi Coin has slipped more than 3%, as ongoing token unlocks continue to apply downward pressure. According to Pi Scan data, another 10.3 million tokens are scheduled to unlock today, potentially adding to sell-side liquidity.
Market Metrics: What They Tell Us
Trading volume recently dipped below $40 million—a red flag for many traders—but has since recovered to over $123 million. That rebound suggests fresh interest could be building, especially as excitement around the upcoming announcement grows.
On the technical side, Pi Coin’s RSI remains neutral, indicating that the market isn’t leaning strongly in either direction. However, the MACD has flipped bullish, and that’s catching the eye of short-term momentum traders. Moving averages are currently flat, further emphasizing the uncertainty—but also the potential for a breakout.
Bottom Line
With speculative energy building, Pi Coin’s short-term direction could hinge on two key moments: the May 14 announcement and any further developments from Binance. If either confirms the bullish narrative, Pi might finally push toward the long-awaited $1 milestone. Until then, investors will be watching closely, one candle at a time.
