Pi Network Supporters Question Binance Silence as CZ Embraces Meme Culture

Comments by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao about embracing meme culture have sparked fresh debate online, with supporters of Pi Network questioning why their project remains unlisted on Binance despite its large user base.

CZ recently said he likes meme culture and finds certain meme-driven ideas “sticky.” While the remarks were not directly linked to Pi Network, they triggered reactions from parts of the crypto community who argue that projects with millions of users deserve more attention than short-lived meme tokens.

Pi community raises listing concerns

Members of the Pi Network community say the project has tens of millions of users worldwide and a growing ecosystem, yet continues to be overlooked by Binance. Some users have pointed out that Binance has listed several meme coins with limited utility, while Pi Coin is still missing from the platform.

Pi Network launched its open mainnet in early 2025 after several years of development. Since then, Pi Coin has become tradable on smaller exchanges such as OKX, Bitget, and MEXC, but it is not available on Binance.

No official word from Binance

Binance has not made any official announcement about listing Pi Coin. In the past, the exchange held a community vote in which a large majority supported a Pi listing, but the vote did not result in an actual launch.

Binance typically does not explain why specific tokens are not listed, adding to speculation and frustration among Pi supporters.

Possible reasons for the delay

Analysts have pointed to several factors that could be holding Pi back. Pi Network’s blockchain code is not fully open source, and there is no widely recognized third-party security audit publicly available. It is also unclear whether Pi Network has formally completed Binance’s listing application process.

Major exchanges like Binance usually assess projects based on security reviews, transparency, and regulatory readiness before approving a listing.
