Pi Network stirred up the crypto community this April Fool’s Day with a prank that caught many off guard. The network shared a screenshot allegedly showing Binance issuing an apology for delisting Pi Coin. While the tweet quickly gained traction, a closer examination revealed that Pi Network had discreetly included #AprilFool and #Prank among several hashtags, making the joke visible but easy to miss.

While some users quickly spotted the prank and played along by mocking Binance, others took the so-called apology at face value. One Pi Network supporter even demanded immediate action from Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ), threatening a campaign to delist Binance’s app from Google Play Store and urging Pi’s 10 million Twitter followers to withdraw support.
Pi Network and the Struggle for Exchange Listings
Beyond the prank, Pi Network continues to face real challenges in securing listings on major exchanges. Binance has repeatedly excluded Pi from its listings, citing concerns over the network’s operational transparency, liquidity, and overall credibility.
Pi Network has also clashed with Bybit CEO Ben Zhou, who previously refused to list the token. Zhou referenced Chinese police warnings from 2023 labeling Pi as a potential scam targeting elderly users. Authorities cautioned that the project could lead to data breaches and financial losses, fueling skepticism about its legitimacy. Bybit’s decision was reinforced by additional reports linking Pi Network to pyramid schemes in China.
What This Means for Pi Network’s Future
The exclusion of Pi Coin from top exchanges underscores the growing demand for projects with strong tokenomics, regulatory compliance, and real-world utility. While Pi Network boasts a massive community of over 70 million users, concerns over its decentralization, liquidity, and network transparency continue to hinder its mainstream adoption.

For Pi to gain recognition from top exchanges, it must address these concerns by offering clear use cases, establishing regulatory compliance, and improving operational transparency. Until then, pranks like this year’s April Fool’s joke might remain the closest Pi Coin gets to a Binance listing.
