Pi Network Integrates with Telegram's Crypto Wallet, Opening the Door to a Vast New Audience

Pi Network has officially joined forces with Telegram's crypto wallet, opening the door to a vast new audience.

Pi Network, the cryptocurrency that launched earlier this year and quickly gained attention with its unique mining concept and community-driven approach, has taken another step toward mainstream adoption.

As announced on Thursday, Pi Network has officially joined forces with Telegram’s crypto wallet, opening the door to a vast new audience. According to Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, the platform surpassed 1 billion monthly users in 2025, significantly expanding Pi’s potential reach.

Telegram users can now purchase PI directly within the app’s built-in crypto wallet. However, despite this development, Pi Network remains absent from major tier-1 exchanges like Binance and Coinbase—listings that could ultimately strengthen the token’s legitimacy and market standing.

Pi Network Integrates With Telegram

The integration with Telegram marks a turning point for Pi Network, which has faced several challenges since its launch. The token started strong, skyrocketing nearly 100% in its first week and reaching a peak of $2.92 on February 27.

However, since then, PI has faced a steady decline, with continuous liquidations and diminishing demand, largely due to the lack of listings on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase.

This development comes as Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov, has resumed his activities after being released from detention in August 2024. Sharing new insights about the platform’s growth, Durov highlighted in a recent post:

“Telegram now has significantly over 1 billion monthly active users, becoming the second most popular messaging app in the world (excluding China’s WeChat). User engagement is also increasing, [and] our revenue growth has exploded. We are just getting started.”

This means Pi Network now has access to an enormous audience, with the average Telegram user spending 41 minutes daily on the platform. Some within the PI community are calling this a “historic step toward mainstream decentralized finance adoption.”

As Telegram expands its crypto features like the SimpleX integration for buying crypto, they remain largely underutilized. Despite the hype, PI’s price has decreased by over 25% over the past week, indicating weak investor interest.

While major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase remain hesitant to list the token, Telegram’s massive user base presents an opportunity. If Pi Network manages to convert a small percentage of these users into investors, it could mark a turning point.

But if adoption fails to gain momentum, Pi Network's downward trend, which began after its promising start, may continue—raising questions about its long-term viability.
