Pi Network Excluded from Binance's Inaugural "Vote to List" Campaign

Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, has excluded Pi Network from its inaugural "Vote to List" campaign, triggering a wave of community discussion

Binance has sparked a discussion among crypto enthusiasts after excluding Pi Network from its inaugural "Vote to List" campaign. The decision comes as several commenters raised complaints about the selection of projects in the pool.

The "Vote to List" initiative, launched by Binance on Monday, features a selection of projects vying for a place on the exchange's platform. However, all the projects selected are hosted on the BNB Smart Chain network, whereas Pi Network, a popular cryptocurrency, operates on its own independent blockchain.

This technicality has disqualified Pi Network from the "Vote to List" campaign, despite Binance's previous interest in gauging community interest in listing Pi Coin.

Earlier this year, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao opened a poll to community members on whether the exchange should list Pi Coin. The mini-survey, which was conducted on Zhao’s personal Twitter account, garnered nearly 35,000 votes, with a majority (64% of voters) voting in favor of the listing.

However, the projects selected for the "Vote to List" initiative are all tokens hosted on the BNB Smart Chain network, which automatically excludes Pi Network from the selection pool.

While the "Vote to List" initiative focuses on community input, Binance ultimately holds the final decision on which projects to list.

Crypto enthusiasts have expressed mixed reactions to the projects selected for the "Vote to List" campaign. Some commenters have pointed out the selection of several memecoins, which has drawn criticism.

Several commenters noted that projects like Band Protocol and AnChain.AI, which are already listed on other major exchanges, appear to be included in the initiative despite already being accessible to investors.

However, others have highlighted the significance of the "Vote to List" initiative in providing a platform for smaller and less-known projects to gain visibility.

The projects selected for the "Vote to List" initiative are: AnChain.AI, Band Protocol, BestChain, BiLiao, Chronobank, DeepChain, DMarket, EasyFi Network, EvChain, FLAMES, FreshToken, Helix, KOMO Platform, Levcoin, LinkPad, MBOX, MetaMap, MINERS, NodePad, OmniPal, PAID Network, PAR Token, PCHAIN, Polybius, PriceToken, RChain Token, Robocoin, StarChain, Stelar, Swop.io, TokenPocket, and Vetti.
