Overview

• A 2021 Pi Network hackathon winner, Pi Barter Mall, suggested on X that a Coinbase listing could be coming, reviving unconfirmed rumors tied earlier to a Pi Day tweet by Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal.
• Project trackers and reports indicate Pi’s open-source effort is about 90% complete, with community expectations for a code release as soon as September despite no firm date from developers.
• PiOS access is expanding for builders and powering new hackathons, though reports say the blockchain’s core protocol remains closed for now.
• Pi secured a PI/USDS pair on U.S.-regulated exchange Swapfone in July, offering a modest foothold in American markets and early price discovery.
• Analysts see a potential liquidity and visibility boost if a major listing occurs, but caution about sell-the-news swings and ongoing concerns over utility and decentralization.
