In a tweet that has sparked major discussion across the crypto community, crypto enthusiast Dr. Altcoin revealed that Pi Network is the only cryptocurrency project currently requiring Know Your Business (KYB) compliance from centralized exchanges (CEXs) before allowing listings.
According to his tweet, platforms like OKX, Bitget, MEXC, Pionex, and Banxa have already complied with the Pi Core Team’s strict KYB standards — and more are expected to follow.
This move is highly unusual in the crypto industry, where most tokens focus on user-side KYC and often neglect enterprise-side accountability. But Dr. Altcoin argues that Pi Network’s strict compliance isn’t just regulatory — it’s visionary.
Aligning with a Global Digital Currency Framework
The Pi Network’s approach ties directly into the Digital Currency Global Initiative, a major international collaboration between the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) — the United Nations’ digital technology agency — and Stanford University’s Future of Digital Currency Initiative (FDCI). This initiative focuses on five pillars:
- Financial Inclusion – Fair and transparent digital access for everyone.
- Interoperability – Fungible, scalable assets across networks.
- Identity Verification – Robust KYC and KYB standards.
- Currency Programmability – Built-in smart contract functionality.
- DeFi Infrastructure – Efficient, multi-asset decentralized trading systems.
Dr. Altcoin notes that Pi Network is possibly the only crypto project satisfying all five goals. Built on the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) — itself a partner in the initiative — Pi also originates from Stanford, strengthening its academic and technical credibility.
CEXs Willingly Complying
It’s worth noting, as Dr. Altcoin emphasized in his tweet, that Pi Network’s demands have not deterred major exchanges. On the contrary, industry giants like OKX were the first to clear the rigorous KYB screening — a signal that compliance, when paired with innovation, can win buy-in from even the most influential players.
With Consensus 2025 just around the corner, the crypto world is watching closely to see if Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, Pi Network’s founder, will reveal new details about investors, partners, or upcoming developments.
As Dr. Altcoin’s insights make clear, Pi Network is not only creating a cryptocurrency — it’s helping define the future of regulated, interoperable digital finance.
