Something strange has raised the eyebrows of the Pi Network community this week. A wallet associated with Binance’s Stellar deposits, which had already been used in Pi Coin transactions, has exhibited fresh activity. That was enough to ignite rumors that Binance might be quietly gearing up for a Pi Chain integration or even a future listing of $PI.
No official announcement has been made by Binance. But according to what blockchain monitors have observed, a number of small test-like transactions have been passed through the same wallet that was responsible for processing previous Pi-connected movements. The timing is what actually made people speculate.
Is $PI finally coming to Binance?
The Binance stellar deposit wallet which is the same as their $PI wallet has started testing transactions on the $PI chain.

Ecosystem Update Set
The wallet activity precedes, by just days, an upcoming Pi Network update. On May 14, the Pi Core Team will consider and perhaps approve a number of third-party apps to list on its ecosystem. It is one of the steps being taken towards integrating more use cases within the network, particularly following the release of its open mainnet in February.

That launch was a watershed moment for Pi, which now boasts more than 60 million users globally. Nevertheless, the project continues to need to resolve important concerns such as inadequate smart contract functionality, slow transaction speeds, and stringent liquidity constraints. Those vulnerabilities have rendered it difficult for Pi to garner meaningful developer attention for creating apps and services.
Pi Price Remains Stable
PI coin has been having a decent performance of late. The coin sustained a solid run in the last seven days with a 2% increase, data from Coingecko shows. The ongoing rumors of a Binance listing may lift the coin price up further, or it could go sideways.
Binance Silence Keeps Market Guessing
While some in the crypto community are optimistic, others are standing by. Binance has said nothing about Pi Coin. That has not deterred online whispers, but it certainly leaves a great many questions unasked. There is no evidence that Binance is looking to list Pi Coin – at least when this report was made – and the wallet movement could prove to be a coincidence.
Eyes On Binance And Pi Network Ahead Of Key Date
Meanwhile, the Pi community stands by for fresh scoop. May 14 might usher in significant changes. If the Binance wallet activity is the tip of a larger iceberg, and if PI does indeed get listed, that would shift the course of the project.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
