BANXA, a popular crypto on-ramp platform, has received KYB (Know Your Business) approval, marking a major step forward for the Pi Network. This approval means that BANXA is now legally allowed to offer Pi cryptocurrency purchases to people in over 100 countries.
In simple terms, users can now buy Pi coin directly with cash, instantly and securely. This makes Pi much more accessible, especially for users who are new to crypto or don’t use peer-to-peer (P2P) methods.
KYB approval is important because it proves that a business follows proper identity and compliance checks. This is similar to how individuals have to go through KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.
Only KYB-approved businesses can legally trade and handle Pi. On the other hand, people who want to trade Pi through P2P methods must be KYC-approved and use non-custodial wallets. This ensures that all transactions are safe and that users are protected from fraud.
The Pi Network has been focused on building trust from the very beginning. By enforcing KYC for users and KYB for businesses, the team behind Pi is setting up a secure and regulated ecosystem. It’s a bold step in a crypto industry that still struggles with scams and regulatory issues. According to Pi supporters, this approach makes Pi more attractive to institutions and serious investors.
Other major platforms like BitMart and HTX are also expected to receive KYB approval soon, possibly within the next 10 days. If that happens, Pi could be listed and traded more widely, opening the door to even faster adoption worldwide.
This momentum is likely to be a hot topic at the upcoming Consensus 2025 Summit. With a secure, verified ecosystem and expanding global reach, Pi Network is positioning itself as a major player in the future of digital currency.
As of writing, Pi (PI) coin is trading at approximately $0.5865, reflecting a 1.33% increase over the past 24 hours, and the market cap stands at around $4.13 billion. The 24-hour trading volume has surged by over 32%, reaching $39.48 million.
