Pi Network is now integrated with Telegram’s crypto wallet, potentially giving it access to a massive new customer base. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov claims that the messaging app has reached over 1 billion monthly users in 2025.
This means that Telegram users will now be able to buy PI through the app’s integrated crypto wallet. While it certainly boosts the token’s visibility, Pi Network still lacks listing from tier-1 exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, which could improve its credibility in the market.
Pi Network is On the Telegram Wallet
PI made an explosive entry into the crypto market, surging nearly 100% in its first week and hitting a peak of $2.92 on February 27. However, the altcoin has seen continuous liquidations since then. Scrutiny from the big exchanges is delaying major listings, and demand is drying up in a big way.
Yet, today’s Telegram integration provides some optimism for the PI community.
Integration into Telegram’s crypto wallet is a particularly useful development for Pi Network for a few reasons. Telegram’s CEO, Pavel Durov, was released this month after being arrested in August 2024. Now that he’s resumed his activities, he posted notable statistics about the platform’s user base:
“Telegram now has significantly over 1 billion monthly active users, becoming the second most popular messaging app in the world (excluding the China-specific WeChat.) User engagement is also rising, [and] our revenue growth has exploded. We are just getting started,” Durov claimed via Telegram.
In other words, Pi Network is now able to reach one billion Telegram users at a time when the average user spends 41 minutes on the platform daily. This could potentially be a huge pool of new customers, and Pi fans are calling it a “historic step toward mass adoption of decentralized finance.”
However, it’s important to note that Telegram’s crypto functionality, while growing in usage, remains largely underutilized. Despite today’s announcement, the PI price has remained over 25% down in the past week. This reflects declining consumer interest in the project.
Major crypto exchanges like Binance and Coinbase may be dragging their feet with Pi Network, but Telegram has its own substantial user base. If the project can convince a decent chunk of these users to invest, it would be huge.
If it cannot, however, then Pi Network’s losing streak may continue for the foreseeable future.
