How do I buy PI?
Open a spot market on an exchange that lists PI (for example Kraken), create and verify your account, deposit funds, search PI, and place a market or limit order. Full steps are on this page.
To buy Pi Network (PI), use a spot market on 5 exchanges: Kraken, Bitget, OKX, MEXC and Gate.io. Major regulated options include Kraken. Live price: $0.08297. A simple path: open Kraken, create an account, complete ID checks if required, deposit USD/USDT (or buy with a card), search PI, then place a market or limit order. Use the Trade Spot buttons below to jump straight to each exchange.
Which venues you can use depends on your country and the exchange’s own rules.
Use the buttons above to open each exchange’s live Pi Network (PI) page. Trade Spot is for buying and holding; Perp is futures.
Tier-1 (Kraken) usually means stricter ID checks and country limits — pick a venue you can actually open.
To own PI, stay on a spot pair (often PI/USDT or PI/USD). Match the ticker on the exchange before you deposit.

Pi Network (PI) spot markets we list: Kraken, Bitget, OKX, MEXC, Gate.io. Use the Trade Spot links above for each venue.
Pi Network is a native Layer-1 asset on the PI network — not a token that lives on another chain with a single contract address. Use the deposit network your exchange lists for PI.
No — on a centralized exchange you can buy PI inside the exchange account first. Withdraw to a self-custody wallet later if you want long-term holding, using the correct network.
Three costs decide it: the exchange's taker fee, the spread you cross, and how you fund the account. A limit (maker) order usually costs less than a market (taker) order, and funding with a USDT or USD transfer is normally cheaper than a card purchase, which carries its own processing fee. Check the fee schedules on Kraken, Bitget, OKX before you trade — they differ.
Most major exchanges let you buy USD or USDT with a card, then swap into PI on Kraken. Direct card-to-PI depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Neither, as things stand — PI is not on Binance or Coinbase spot in the venue list we track. The exchanges above are where it does trade, and listings change without notice.
That depends on the exchange, not on PI itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
