Pi Network will release its mainnet public network on Thursday, February 20 as the tap-to-earn cryptocurrency project moves forward. Patients and developers will benefit from the Network mainnet availability since it allows token trades and provides global platforms for over 100 developer projects across services like finance and gaming.
The wide user base of Pi Network creates a special importance for this platform launch. The service reached 50 million users before its primary launch which motivated 10.1 million people to move their tokens to the main network. The project attracts attention from investors because its large number of users now expect the launch to make Pi crypto mainstream.

Pi Coin Exchange Listings Loom
To make the mainnet launch complete the Pi team must add coin trading on major cryptocurrency exchanges. OKX, HTX, Bybit, MEXC and Bitget have declared their readiness to make it available on their platform when the network enters live status.
Binance conducts its assessment based on community polls yet requires users to hold at least $5 worth of assets to participate. Most survey participants (88% out of 100%) show they want to see Pi listed on exchanges. Since the public already strongly supports the listing on February 27 there is no reason to expect different results.
Although interest in Pi Network grows people remain skeptical about its true nature. People have argued Pi Network works as a scam by using a pyramid methodology yet experts cannot prove such allegations. Many users trust that Pi Network has potential despite recent speculation.
Pi Awaits Major Exchange Listings
The major exchanges like Coinbase Kraken and Upbit have made no official statement about listing Pi right now. New tokens receive moderate attention from these platforms before starting to trade when tokens show they have lasting value. Their involvement later would make Pi Network more visible on trading platforms. Upbit leads the cryptocurrency market in South Korea while Coinbase and Kraken have leadership roles in the USA market.
Major exchange listings normally cause new cryptocurrencies to gain substantially in value. The value of Pi coin may increase dramatically when Binance adds it to their trading platform. The upcoming poll from Binance might lack the impact of the mainnet debut since one week between these announcements means the initial hype may decrease by then.
People expect Pi Network to stand out in cryptocurrency despite its unclear future because of its active users and upcoming exchange plans. How well Pi Network expands its appeal across markets and meets government rules will show if the project can keep growing.
