Pi Network Storms Derivatives Market as $PI Perpetuals Launch—Buckle Up for Volatility
Mainnet outsiders finally get their shot at leveraged speculation as Pi makes its futures debut. Retail traders rejoice—your exit liquidity has arrived.
Zero to 100x overnight? The mobile-mined token's leap into perpetual contracts marks either a coming-of-age moment or a liquidity trap dressed as progress. Watch those funding rates.
Another altcoin grows up—or just another casino chip for crypto degens? The market's about to place its bets. Just remember: derivatives eat weak hands for breakfast.
Pi Coin is expanding its trading options and in a latest development, CoinCatch has launched a new perpetual futures trading pair, PIUSDT. It went live on June 4, 2025 and the new addition falls under the USDT-Margined Futures category.
This listing allows traders to engage in perpetual futures trading of PI against USDT with up to 50x leverage. With no KYC or VPN needed, CoinCatch is making it simpler for users to access Pi Coin futures trading.

CoinCatch also plans to continue expanding its offerings by introducing more cryptocurrencies and trading pairs in the future.
This MOVE follows similar listings on other platforms, such as Kraken Pro, which offered PI perpetual futures with up to 20x leverage.
Back in February 2025, Gate.io had also introduced both spot trading and a USDT-margined Pi perpetual contract with up to 50x leverage. These developments show a growing institutional interest in Pi Network’s token.
Pi Dips 3% After Major Listing News
Pi was recently listed on the MEXC crypto exchange, which was a big move for the project. The listing includes trading pairs such as PI/USDT and PI/USD1, the latter being a stablecoin backed by World Liberty Financial, a company with ties to the Trump family. Despite the major listing news, Pi’s price saw a slight decline, dropping 3% after the announcement.
The token faces strong resistance NEAR the $1 mark. If Pi breaks above this resistance, it could rise. Pi coin may continue to trade sideways unless there are positive catalysts. Analyst Dr Altcoin predicts that it could fall to $0.40 if the core team does not address these issues.
The community concerns have reached such an extent that a recent poll on X about listing $PI on Binance got mostly negative replies. Users want the team to fix KYC bugs like blocked transfers due to pending verifications before any big listing moves.
Pi Tests Key Resistance Levels
Pi coin is currently trading at $0.649. Over the past 24 hours, the token has experienced a slight decline of about 0.3%, with a trading volume of around $53 million. Most technical indicators for PI Network show a neutral to slightly bearish outlook.
