As Pi Network (PI) inches closer to its 2025 mainnet goals, users are calling for urgent changes before any major exchange listings can take place.
In particular, unresolved KYC issues, wallet concerns, and transparency problems are creating friction among early adopters, even if there is interest in having PI on a large exchange like Binance.
The Controversial Poll

One of the most discussed topics in Pi crypto news this week has been the KYC bottleneck. Despite completing KYC individually, many users reported being unable to transfer their Pi tokens. The problem? Members of their security circles haven’t passed KYC, even if they already submitted their documents.
This technical flaw, often referred to as the “KYC lock bug,” has made it nearly impossible for some users to access their earned Pi. The problem seems to stem from delays in the Pi Validation Program, which requires multiple community validators per KYC case.
One frustrated user said his friends completed KYC over two years ago but were never approved. As a result, 75% of his Pi remains locked. “I joined the validator program,” he said, “but after waiting months with no update, I gave up.”
He still believes the concept is legitimate but says the implementation lacks efficiency and urgency.
In more controversial Pi crypto news, some users believe the KYC delays might not be accidental. A vocal minority has accused the Pi Network team of intentionally slowing down KYC processing to keep tokens locked and avoid market liquidity.
These claims have sparked intense debate, with users reporting that they were muted or banned from official channels after raising concerns. “They don’t want any criticism,” one user stated after being removed from a community forum.

Another early miner said he lost 2,500 PI simply for missing a migration deadline, further fueling distrust in the project’s fairness and transparency.
Security is another sticking point. Several users have warned about the limitations of the Pi Network wallet system.
In fact, some even claimed that PI tokens were locked without their consent or clear notification. This lack of control has led some to urge Binance and other exchanges to think twice before listing Pi.
Newer crypto projects with less community backing, such as Bondex, are already finding their way onto top exchanges. This has left Pi Network supporters wondering why a project with such a large user base remains in limbo.
Why can’t I transfer my PI tokens despite completing KYC?
Many users have reported that their transfers are blocked because members of their security circles haven’t passed KYC, even after completing it. This appears to be a common bug within the system.
Is Pi Network intentionally delaying KYC approvals?
While there is no official confirmation, some users have alleged that delays are intentional to keep tokens locked. These claims have been met with censorship in official channels.
Will PI be listed on Binance?
Despite a community poll where 86% voted in favor of a Binance listing, Binance has not made any official statements regarding the listing of Pi Coin.
