Pi Network Roars Back: MEXC Exchange Lists Pi Coin with Trump-Linked USD1 Trading Pair

After months of radio silence, Pi Network makes a dramatic return—this time with a political twist. The once-dormant project just scored a major exchange listing, but the real story is in the trading pair.

MEXC, the crypto exchange that never met a controversial listing it didn’t like, just added Pi coin with a USD1 stablecoin pairing. Yes, that USD1—the Trump-aligned stablecoin that makes regulators see red. Talk about doubling down on volatility.

For the uninitiated: Pi Network spent years building its ’mobile-mined’ cryptocurrency army. Now it’s betting that combining meme-worthy politics with questionable tokenomics will somehow create sustainable value. Good luck with that.

One thing’s certain: in crypto, even the walking dead get second acts—as long as there’s enough speculative juice left to squeeze. Will this be Pi’s big break or just another pump before the inevitable dump? Place your bets.

This listing could help PI gain credibility and wider adoption. It gives the Pi community access to regulated liquidity, meaning it’s easier to trade with real-world value. It also increases the chances that institutional investors and traditional finance players may take notice. To celebrate the listing, MEXC is offering zero trading fees for these new pairs until June 26.

World Liberty Financial, located in Miami, released USD1 as a stablecoin in April 2025. It is backed by actual assets such as US Treasuries and cash, ensuring that its value remains constant at $1. The coin is tied to the TRUMP family, as Trump-owned firms control 60% of the corporation and receive 75% of coin earnings. The corporation is purportedly run by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

Despite the news, Pi’s price has dropped 3% in the last 24 hours and is currently around $0.74. It recently reached a high of $1.57 earlier this month but is now moving sideways. Experts believe Pi will face tough resistance at the $1 level soon.
