Pi Network is moving closer to mainstream usability by enabling direct purchases of its native token using everyday payment methods like credit cards and digital wallets.
The feature, now appearing for some users, bypasses traditional exchanges, letting people buy Pi through the in-app wallet using services provided by Banxa and Onramper.
This quiet rollout signals the project’s push to remove friction from the user experience, allowing people unfamiliar with crypto to join with minimal hassle. While access remains limited during the initial phase, it’s a major move toward making blockchain technology as accessible as a mobile banking app.
Beyond the payment update, Pi Network has also been expanding its ecosystem. The recent launch of Pi Node v0.5.3 aims to improve node deployment and transparency, while the App Studio continues to attract developers, already hosting thousands of dApps.

Meanwhile, Pi’s market performance is reflecting renewed interest. The token has climbed nearly 7% in 24 hours, accompanied by a spike in trading volume — more than doubling to $189 million. These gains hint at growing confidence in the project’s evolving infrastructure and its gradual path to utility.
