On February 17, Binance launched a community vote to decide whether to list Pi Network. The response? Overwhelming. More than 85% of voters have backed the listing, setting off a wave of excitement among Pi supporters. But not everyone is cheering.
Critics argue that Binance
The Pi Network listing vote has drawn significant attention from the crypto community. With 85% of votes in favor, excitement is surging among Pi Network supporters. As the February 27 deadline approaches, there is little indication that the trend will reverse.
Binance’s decision to revive its controversial “token listing by community vote” system has sparked criticism. Colin Wu, founder of Wu Blockchain, voiced strong opposition, arguing that Binance should focus more on security rather than catering to popular demand.
Notably, this is the first time in seven years that Binance has employed this voting-based listing method, making the move even more contentious.
As one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, Binance currently boasts a 24-hour trading volume of $17.6 billion and supports 399 coins across 1,362 trading pairs. With such a massive presence, critics argue that Binance should uphold strict listing standards instead of relying on community sentiment.
Former Binance CEO previously raised concerns about the community-driven listing model, calling it “a bit broken.” His remarks highlight the ongoing debate about whether popularity should outweigh security in listing decisions.
In response to criticism, Binance has defended its move, stating that the voting results serve only as a reference. The exchange emphasized that it has a rigorous internal evaluation system to determine whether a token meets the necessary requirements for listing.
Despite the controversy, Pi Coin has already been listed on nine major cryptocurrency exchanges, including MEXC, OKX, Open Network, Bitget, CoinW, Gate.io, GCB Exchange, DigiFinex, and LBank.
As the Binance vote nears its conclusion, the crypto community remains divided on whether community-driven listings enhance accessibility or pose a risk to security and investor protection.
At least nine exchanges, including MEXC, OKX, Bitget, and Gate.io, have listed Pi Coin so far.
