Crypto exchange OKX has made Pi available to millions of users in the United States for the first time, according to an update from the Pi Core Team shared on Thursday.
In a post on X, the team said OKX is now offering access to Pi through its platform for compliant U.S. users.
“For the first time, OKX has made Pi available to millions of people in the US through its platform, adding another access point to the Pi ecosystem for US users.” the team said. This marks a new entry point into the Pi ecosystem for the American market.

The Pi Core Team said the goal of this is to increase how many people use the network and how active the system becomes.
“More users. More usage. Stronger network,” the team said in the post. The statement also explained that Pi continues to work on expanding its ecosystem, building utility, and encouraging adoption across different regions. The Crypto Times team are request
The update also comes at a time when Pi Network is trying to expand its ecosystem and improve its technology. The project has been working on upgrades and building tools for developers.
It gained more interest after attending major crypto events this year, including the Consensus 2026, where its founders Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan was present.
Kraken listing adds more exchange support
Moreover, this comes just a few months after Kraken exchange also listed the Pi network token on its platform, which began trading on March 13. At the time, Kraken described Pi Network as a mobile-first blockchain project that allows users to mine crypto using their phones instead of powerful computers.
It also explained that the network runs on a system where users are verified and can take part in a growing ecosystem built around real use and community participation.
The announcement also placed Pi Network in context as a project that started in 2019 and has grown a large user base over time. It took several years for the network to reach full open mainnet status, which was achieved in early 2025. Before reaching this stage, Pi was mostly limited in how it could be traded and was available only on smaller platforms and decentralized markets.
PI token down 11% in a week
The token’s price hasn’t reacted to the news. At the time of writing, Pi is trading for $0.1503. The token is down 0.63% in the last 24 hours, but also over 11% in a week.
The token has been trading downwards for a while, falling about 12% in a month from a Monday high of $0.2.
Trading activity today is also down about 9% to $10.58 million in volume while its market valuation holds calm at $1.59 billion.
However, with both OKX and Kraken now expanding access, Pi Network is slowly becoming more available to major markets, especially in the United States, while it continues to build its system and increase user participation.
The CryptoTimes team has reached out to OKX for comment on this development but has not yet received a response.
