TL;DR

PI is among the top market performers today (March 12). Its resurgence coincides with an entire revival of the crypto sector, where BTC surged past $82,000. Pi Networks native token has been at the forefront of gains in the past 24 hours, with its price rising by 15% to just south of $1.60. Its market capitalization soared above $11 billion, thus surpassing Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) to become the 12th-biggest cryptocurrency.

Additionally, the project will celebrate its sixth birthday on March 14. Some industry participants have speculated that Binance might list PI on that day.

Last month, the largest crypto exchange held a community vote to determine whether its users would want to see the asset available for trading. Over 86% of the voters clicked the yes option, but the company has remained silent on the matter.

PIs latest resurgence also aligns with the broader revival of the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly pumped above $83,000 before settling at approximately $82,000. Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and many more leading altcoins are also well in the green on a 24-hour scale.
