JAKARTA – Pi Network is once again attracting attention from the cryptocurrency community after its native token, PI, received a new listing on SolCex, a cryptocurrency exchange associated with the Solana ecosystem.

The listing was reported on August 12, 2026, with the PI/USDT trading pair becoming available on the platform. The development gives users another option for accessing the PI market.

PI Gains New Trading Access

The SolCex listing represents another development in PI’s presence across the cryptocurrency market.

According to reports, SolCex added PI alongside several other digital assets, potentially giving PI exposure to a new group of cryptocurrency users.

However, being listed on SolCex does not automatically mean that Pi Network has an official partnership with Solana. A cryptocurrency listing and an official partnership are two different things and should not be presented as the same development.

PI/USDT Trading Pair Becomes Available

The reported listing includes the PI/USDT trading pair, allowing users to trade PI against USDT.

The availability of a new trading pair can provide another route for users who want to buy or sell PI through a cryptocurrency exchange.

However, trading volume and liquidity can vary between exchanges. Users should therefore check the current market conditions before making any transaction.

PI Price Remains Around US$0.09

The new listing comes as PI continues to trade around the US$0.09 level.

Recent market data has placed PI at approximately US$0.088–US$0.089, although cryptocurrency prices can change rapidly.

PI remains well below its previous all-time high recorded in February 2025, showing that the token continues to face challenges in recovering to its earlier market levels.

A New Listing Does Not Guarantee a Price Increase

The addition of PI to another exchange can increase market accessibility, but it does not guarantee that the price will rise.

Cryptocurrency prices are influenced by many factors, including supply and demand, trading volume, liquidity, investor sentiment, Bitcoin’s performance, and broader market conditions.

For this reason, the SolCex listing should primarily be viewed as an expansion of trading access, rather than a guaranteed bullish signal for PI.

Binance and Coinbase Remain a Focus

The SolCex listing has also renewed discussions about major cryptocurrency exchanges.

Reports surrounding the listing note that PI has still not been listed on Binance and Coinbase, two major platforms that have attracted significant attention from the Pi Network community.

However, the absence of PI from these exchanges does not mean that the Pi ecosystem has stopped developing. PI continues to gain trading access through other cryptocurrency platforms.

The Development Comes After Protocol 26

The SolCex listing also comes shortly after Pi Network reached an important stage in its technical development with the Protocol 26 upgrade.

Following the upgrade period, community attention has increasingly shifted toward Mainnet development, PI utility, and potential future technical improvements.

Technical developments and market movements should be considered separately. A new listing should not automatically be interpreted as proof that a particular protocol upgrade caused a price movement.

Pi Network’s Focus Goes Beyond Exchanges

Although exchange listings are important, the future of Pi Network does not depend solely on the number of exchanges supporting PI.

Real-world utility within the ecosystem is also an important factor.

Pi Network has previously introduced developments focused on utility, including Mainnet payments through Pi App Studio and additional tools intended to support users and developers.

The growth of applications and services with practical use could play an important role in determining how widely PI is used within the ecosystem.

Users Should Remain Careful

New exchange listings often generate increased discussion on social media. Unfortunately, this can also create opportunities for scammers to spread fake information or create fraudulent trading websites.

Pi Network users should always verify that they are using the correct official website or application of an exchange before conducting transactions.

Most importantly, users should never share their Pi Wallet passphrase with anyone. A wallet passphrase is sensitive security information that should remain under the user’s control.

What Does the SolCex Listing Mean for Pi Network?

The SolCex listing gives PI another trading venue and expands the options available to cryptocurrency users.

However, its long-term impact on PI’s price and ecosystem remains uncertain.

Trading volume, liquidity, user adoption, ecosystem utility, and continued development will likely be more important factors in determining the long-term significance of the listing.

Therefore, the SolCex listing can be viewed as a positive development in terms of market access, but it is not enough to conclude that PI will enter a sustained upward trend.

Conclusion

Pi Network received a new listing on SolCex on August 12, 2026, with the PI/USDT trading pair providing another option for cryptocurrency users interested in trading PI.

The development comes as Pi Network continues to expand its ecosystem and develop its Mainnet following the Protocol 26 milestone.

However, a new exchange listing does not guarantee a price increase. PI’s future performance will continue to depend on market conditions, liquidity, demand, investor sentiment, and the development of the Pi ecosystem.

For the Pi Network community, the next developments to watch include PI utility, Mainnet progress, and potential additional trading access on other exchanges.
