What\u2019s New Around Pi Network?<\/h2>\n

The controversial crypto project made the headlines on May 8, <\/span>teasing<\/span><\/a> a mysterious announcement that would be released in the upcoming days. The community took this as a positive sign, with some expecting major news, such as PI\u2019s listing on the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.<\/span><\/p>\n

The excitement also seems to have triggered a price rally for Pi Network\u2019s native token, which surged by almost 200% at one point <\/span>and<\/span> jumped above $1.70 (the highest point observed in the past two months).<\/span><\/p>\n

On May 14, the team behind the project lifted the curtain, <\/span>unveiling<\/span><\/a> the launch of a $100 million initiative (held in PI and USD) to invest in startups and businesses that \u201cadvance the utility and <\/span>real-adoption<\/span> of PI.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The price of the underlying token dipped substantially following the announcement, reaching a local bottom of nearly $0.80. <\/span>This<\/span> appears to be<\/span> a classic \u201cbuy the rumor, sell the news\u201d case where the asset\u2019s valuation climbs in anticipation of a <\/span>certain<\/span> disclosure, only to decline once the news becomes public.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Binance <\/span>posted a cryptic message<\/span><\/a> on its official X account that many community members view as a potential PI listing coming soon. The company presented its logo with mathematical symbols, one of which was the constant \u03c0. Many users pointed out the connection with the crypto project, whose native token has the same name.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to note that Binance <\/span>issued<\/span><\/a> a community voting<\/span> in February to determine whether its users <\/span>want<\/span> to see PI available on the platform. The vast majority clicked the \u201cyes\u201d option, but the company has yet to respect their <\/span>wish<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Binance Flashes the Red Flag<\/span><\/h2>\n

Approximately a week ago, the exchange warned its users about phishing scammers who present themselves as Binance staff on Telegram and other social platforms. Per the alert, fraudsters direct victims to designated links, which can later steal their credentials or 2FA codes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Binance advised people to be <\/span>utterly<\/span> cautious about suspicious messages and <\/span>to<\/span> double-check information before clicking on unfamiliar links.<\/span> The company\u2019s CEO <\/span>shared<\/span><\/a> the warning, saying:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here 24\/7, but your vigilance is the first line of defense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shiba Inu Also Sounded the Alarm<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scams are a persistent and unpleasant part of the crypto space, and Binance isn\u2019t the only entity to warn about such dangers. Most recently, LUCIE \u2013 Shibarium\u2019s marketing strategist \u2013 revealed<\/a> their personal encounter with bad actors years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

The X user said the attack caused a <\/span>huge<\/span> trauma since wrongdoers managed to drain the victim\u2019s wallet. LUCIE also stated that the person who carried out the scam was \u201cso kind, so sympathetic\u201d and an English native speaker, meaning that <\/span>people can easily be tricked<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In conclusion, Shibarium\u2019s lead advised people to be careful and stay safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
