Telegram’s Game-Changing Move: Pi Network Integration Unlocks Access to 1 Billion Users

Pi Network has officially joined forces with Telegram’s crypto wallet, opening the door to a vast new audience. According to Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, the platform surpassed 1 billion monthly users in 2025, significantly expanding Pi’s potential reach.

With this integration, Telegram users can now purchase PI directly within the app’s built-in crypto wallet. While this move enhances the token’s exposure, Pi Network remains absent from major tier-1 exchanges like Binance and Coinbase—listings that could strengthen its legitimacy and market standing.

Pi Network Joins Telegram Wallet – A Turning Point or Just Hype?

Pi Network has taken a bold step forward by integrating with Telegram’s crypto wallet, a move that could significantly expand its user base. The token made waves early in its launch, skyrocketing nearly 100% in its first week and peaking at $2.92 on February 27. However, since then, PI has faced a steady decline, with continuous liquidations and dwindling demand, largely due to the lack of listings on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase.

Despite these challenges, today’s integration with Telegram offers a glimmer of hope for the Pi community. This development comes at a pivotal moment, as Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov, has resumed his activities after being released from detention in August 2024. Sharing new insights about the platform’s growth, Durov revealed:

“Telegram now has significantly over 1 billion monthly active users, becoming the second most popular messaging app in the world (excluding China’s WeChat). User engagement is also rising, [and] our revenue growth has exploded. We are just getting started.”

This means Pi Network now has potential access to an enormous audience, with the average Telegram user spending 41 minutes daily on the platform. Some within the PI community are calling this a “historic step toward mainstream decentralized finance adoption.”

However, while Telegram’s crypto features are expanding, they remain underutilized. Despite the hype, PI’s price has fallen over 25% in the past week, signalling weak investor confidence. While major exchanges remain hesitant to list the token, Telegram’s vast user base presents an opportunity. If Pi Network can successfully convert a fraction of these users into investors, it could mark a turning point.

But if adoption fails to gain momentum, Pi Network’s downward trend may persist—raising questions about its long-term viability.
