OKX Pi coin:
deposit, sell, and where you can’t.
OKX has listed Pi since February 2025, but whether you can use it depends on where your account is registered. Below: the deposit and sell steps for supported regions, why some regions see no PI market at all, the price as of October 16, 2026, and what the Protocol 28 upgrade means for holders (nothing to do).
Is Pi listed on OKX?
Yes. According to OKX’s listing announcement (Feb 12, 2025), PI deposits opened at 02:45 UTC on February 12, 2025, a one-hour call auction ran from 07:00 UTC on February 20, and PI/USDT spot trading opened at 08:00 UTC the same day, when Pi switched from its enclosed Mainnet to an open network. Withdrawals followed on February 21 after a short wallet maintenance window. For the first five minutes OKX blocked market orders and capped each limit order at 10,000 USD.
| Market | Where it applies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PI/USDT | OKX global platform | The main pair, open since Feb 20, 2025 |
| PI/USDC | OKX global platform | Stablecoin alternative to USDT |
| PI/EUR, PI/TRY, PI/BRL | Regional fiat pairs | Only shown where that entity offers the currency |
| Pi/USDT on OKX US | United States | Opened May 5, 2026; product availability varies by state |
OKX’s US platform added Pi/USDT on May 5, 2026, and the Pi Core Team announced US access on May 21, 2026 (The Crypto Times). OKX’s own US notice says some products are not available in every state, so check the app for your state.
If you are searching “pi network okx”, this is the short version: the token is listed, but a listing is not the same as access. The next section explains why.
Why some regions can’t trade Pi on OKX
Three separate things decide whether your account shows a PI market:
- Pi’s own request. In a supplementary note (Feb 14, 2025), OKX said PI uses an “isolated listing” model at the Pi Network project’s request, so users in some countries and regions cannot deposit or trade it. OKX did not publish the list.
- OKX’s restricted locations. OKX’s Risk & Compliance Disclosure (updated July 8, 2026) lists Afghanistan, Canada, Cuba, Hong Kong, Iran, India, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, certain US jurisdictions and US territories, and Uzbekistan.
- Local law. Mainland China treats virtual-currency business as illegal financial activity and bars offshore firms from serving residents (PBOC and seven other agencies, Notice No. 42, Feb 6, 2026). In the Philippines, the SEC named OKX in August 2025 among platforms not registered to operate locally, and telecoms were ordered to block access (CoinDesk, Aug 6, 2025).
The practical test takes ten seconds: log in, open Assets → Deposit, and search PI. If there is no deposit address, or the app says the asset is unavailable under local rules, PI is not supported for your account. Reinstalling the app or switching phones will not change that.
Do not use a VPN, a false address or someone else’s ID to reach a PI market. It breaks OKX’s terms, can get the account restricted with your Pi inside, and we don’t explain workarounds.
How to deposit Pi to OKX (supported regions only)
This is the “pi network okx deposit” process. It only works if both your Pi wallet and your OKX account are ready.
- Finish Pi KYC and migrate to Mainnet. Work through the Mainnet Checklist in the Pi app. Balances that have not been migrated cannot be sent to any exchange.
- Open and verify an OKX account. Use our button and the referral code is applied automatically, so there is nothing to type; only if you sign up inside the OKX app yourself do you enter OK66688 by hand. The sign-up page shows a 20% trading-fee discount (checked 2026-10-16); new-user rewards are whatever the campaign page shows.
- Find the PI deposit address. Assets → Deposit → Deposit crypto, search PI. No address means no support in your region; stop here.
- Copy the address. OKX’s PI deposit guide (Feb 22, 2025) says the address usually starts with “M” and the memo field in Pi Wallet can stay empty. Follow whatever the deposit page shows on the day.
- Answer Travel Rule questions if asked. In the EEA, OKX asks where the funds come from. Choose “My private wallet” if the Pi Wallet is yours; some amounts also need a small verification transfer (OKX calls it the Satoshi test).
- Send from Pi Wallet. Open wallet.pi.net in the Pi Browser, choose send, paste the address, and send a small test first. Send the rest once it arrives.
If a deposit is late, copy the TXID from Pi Wallet and look it up on a Pi block explorer before contacting support. Our missing deposit checklist walks through the usual causes. Exchanges sometimes pause deposits for a while around network upgrades, so check OKX announcements before sending again.
Sign up through our button and code OK66688 is applied for you automatically. Every spot and futures trade then costs 20% less, for life.
How to sell Pi on OKX (PI/USDT)
- Open Trade → Spot and pick PI/USDT (the “okx pi usdt” market).
- Use a limit order. Set your price near the best bid. OKX’s public instrument data lists a minimum order of 10 PI and a price step of 0.00001 USDT (checked 2026-10-16).
- Enter the amount and confirm. Check the fill under Orders → Trade history; the fee is the fill value times your rate.
- Decide what to do with the USDT. Keep it, withdraw it to a wallet on a network the recipient supports, or use a local fiat route where OKX offers one. Keep the records; selling at a profit can be taxable.
Limit orders avoid slippage in a thin order book and pay the maker rate. For how limit and market orders differ, see four steps for any coin.
Can I sell Pi on OKX for Philippine pesos (okx pi to php)?
Not directly. OKX’s public market list (checked 2026-10-16) shows PI/USDT, PI/USDC, PI/EUR, PI/TRY and PI/BRL, and there is no PI/PHP pair. On top of that, the Philippine SEC named OKX in its August 2025 advisory on unregistered crypto platforms. Readers in the Philippines should check the SEC’s current advisories and use a platform registered there; we don’t cover ways around the block.
OKX Pi coin price (as of 2026-10-16)
On October 16, 2026, OKX’s PI/USDT daily candle (UTC+8 day) ranged from 0.0790 to 0.0820 USDT and closed near 0.0807 USDT.
| Date | Price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Feb 26, 2025 | about 2.99, all-time high | CoinGecko |
| May 21, 2026 (OKX US access) | about 0.150 | The Crypto Times |
| Jul 14, 2026 | about 0.0706, all-time low | CoinGecko |
| Oct 16, 2026 | 0.0790 to 0.0820 | OKX PI/USDT daily candle |
That leaves PI roughly 97% below its high, according to CoinGecko. We don’t forecast where Pi goes next.
Use the live order book, not screenshots from chat groups. The Pi Core Team has said Pi has no “official” price (Coinfomania, Dec 22, 2025); posts quoting 314 or 1,000 dollars per Pi led to fake exchange sites that drained wallets once connected.
Pi Network Protocol 28: what changed for holders
Pi scheduled the Mainnet switch to Protocol 28 for October 16, 2026 and told node operators to upgrade by October 13 (AltcoinBuzz, Oct 9, 2026). At 12:51 p.m. ET on the day, TokenPost reported the Mainnet page still showed “under upgrade”. Pi’s public Mainnet API now reports protocol version 28, starting with ledger 29,247,355, which closed at 17:01:30 UTC on October 16, 2026.
| Change | What it does | Who it affects |
|---|---|---|
| CAP-83 | Validators can start processing before every transaction set arrives, and drop late or invalid sets | Node operators |
| CAP-85 | Smart contracts can be upgraded together in one step | Developers |
| CAP-86 | Contract data can migrate even when fields are added or missing | Developers |
| Holders | Balances, supply and in-app mining are untouched | No action needed |
CryptoTicker (Oct 7, 2026) puts it plainly: if your Pi simply sits in the Pi app, there is nothing to do. A node left on old software drops out of consensus until it is updated, but balances live on the ledger and are not lost.
Pi scams to watch around the upgrade
- “Upgrade or swap your Pi” links. Protocol 28 does not replace coins or create a new token. Any page asking you to migrate again is fake.
- Passphrase requests. The Pi Core Team says it never asks for wallet passphrases, passwords or verification codes, and does not contact users by phone or unsolicited message (Analytics Insight, Jun 6, 2025).
- Instant Pi-to-USD swap sites. Fake DEX links that ask you to connect a wallet are a known drain method (Coinfomania, Dec 22, 2025).
- Chat-group buyers. Someone offering many times the exchange price wants your coins or a fee first. On-chain transfers can’t be reversed.
- Fake OKX support. Check any website, email or support account with Help → Official verification in the OKX app, and type okx.com yourself instead of clicking links.
Use Pi Wallet only at wallet.pi.net inside the Pi Browser. Entering your 24 words anywhere else hands over the wallet.

Pi coin on OKX
FAQ.
01Is Pi coin listed on OKX?
Yes. PI/USDT spot trading opened on OKX at 08:00 UTC on February 20, 2025, and OKX US added Pi/USDT on May 5, 2026. Access still depends on your region, because PI uses an isolated listing model at the Pi project's request.
02Why can't I see Pi on OKX?
Your account is probably in a region where PI is not supported, such as mainland China or one of OKX's restricted locations like Hong Kong. If the deposit page shows no PI address, the asset is not available to you. Do not use a VPN or false details to get around it.
03Do I need a memo to deposit Pi to OKX?
According to OKX's PI deposit guide (February 2025), the deposit address usually starts with M and the memo field in Pi Wallet can be left empty. Always follow what the deposit page shows, and send a small test first.
04What is the OKX Pi coin price today?
On October 16, 2026, PI/USDT on OKX traded between 0.0790 and 0.0820 USDT, roughly 97% below the all-time high of about 2.99 dollars on February 26, 2025 (CoinGecko). We don't predict prices; check the live market.
05Do I need to do anything for Pi Network Protocol 28?
No. Protocol 28 is a network upgrade for node operators and developers. Pi Mainnet reports protocol version 28 from 17:01 UTC on October 16, 2026. Holders keep their balances, and anyone asking you to upgrade, swap or enter your passphrase is a scammer.
06Can I convert Pi to PHP on OKX?
There is no PI/PHP pair on OKX as of October 16, 2026, and the Philippine SEC named OKX in an August 2025 advisory on unregistered platforms. Check the SEC's current list and use a locally registered platform.
