The much-anticipated Binance listing for Pi Network did not occur on August 15, disappointing many in the Pi community. While rumors of the listing were widespread, analysts had previously warned that both Binance and the Pi Core Team (PCT) were not ready for such a move.
According to analyst Dr. Altcoin, Binance is waiting for more clarity from the Pi Network before considering a listing. The PCT, on its part, is still working on its Open Mainnet roadmap and tokenomics, conducting stress tests, and enhancing its blockchain to ensure long-term stability rather than immediate hype.
Despite the recent letdown, analysts believe that Pi's price momentum could improve later in August due to several upcoming developments. These include a reduction in monthly token unlocks by about 30%, which will ease selling pressure, as well as the expansion of its ecosystem through investments in startups. Other catalysts are the growth of its AI App Studio and the planned integration of Stellar's smart contract platform, Soroban, which will strengthen the network's technical capabilities.
The overall sentiment is that Pi's value will be built on gradual adoption and ecosystem development, not on short-term hype. The project is focused on sustainable growth and inclusivity, prioritizing long-term resilience over quick gains from speculation.
