As the Pi Network prepares to launch its mainnet, many are wondering why Binance—the largest crypto exchange in the world—isn’t listing Pi Coin.
The reason is simple: Pi Coin hasn’t met Binance’s listing criteria. Binance has a strict vetting process, so only coins with proven stability, security, and demand get listed.
However, Binance have realised that interest is growing and have put the coin up for a community vote to see what people want to see. This doesn’t necessarily mean it will be added anytime soon, but it does mean they are considering adding it in the near future.
With the Pi mainnet set to launch on Feb. 20, investors will be keen to see how the market reacts and whether Binance will add it to its trading pair anytime soon.
India’s wheat crop faces major threat as warm weather and below-average rainfall disrupt crucial growing season India’s wheat crop faces a major threat as warm weather and below-average rainfall disrupt crucial growing season, the India Meteorological Department said, as it raised concerns about lower yields.
With March expected to be warm, farmers say the production of wheat could fall by 20% and prices will shoot up in the coming months. The government is now looking at reducing or scrapping the 40% import duty on wheat to make it easier for flour millers to import supplies and stabilise market prices.
Last year’s wheat crop was record-large, but supplies are the lowest in 16 years, so this year’s crop is more important. If conditions don’t improve, India could have to rely heavily on imports.

Bankers warn India’s ‘Goldilocks period’ is over INDIA’S “Goldilocks period” as a banking sector has ended, a veteran banker has warned. Speaking at an investment conference, Uday Kotak, founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank, said the unsecured and microfinance loan segments were under growing stress, which could lead to financial instability.
Kotak’s last letter before he retires as CEO in 2023 said the Indian financial sector was in a “stable growth phase”. But now he says there will be challenges ahead and risks are emerging in the credit cycle.
His caution comes as banks are expanding aggressively in retail lending, raising the prospect of higher loan defaults in the future.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah became the first player since Lionel Messi (2014/15) to score and assist in 10 games in a single season in Europe’s top five leagues.
Salah’s latest goal was in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, with his tally standing at 24 goals and 15 assists in 26 Premier League games this season. His influence has made him one of the most potent attacking forces in world football.
Salah’s Liverpool contract runs out in 2025, so his future is still up in the air. But if he continues like this, he could walk away with multiple records, the league title, and perhaps a Champions League title as well.
