Bitstamp Adds Support for Solana and Pepe in the United States
Bitstamp, a veteran crypto exchange, has announced the addition of Solana (SOL) and Pepe (PEPE) to its trading platform for users in the United States.
Bitstamp USA, registered with the New York State Department of Financial Services, now offers spot trading pairs for SOL/USD, SOL/EUR, PEPE/USD, and PEPE/EUR.
Solana, a well-known layer-1 blockchain supporting smart contracts, ranks among the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The platform hosts a wide range of projects, including decentralized finance, non-fungible token marketplaces, gaming, and meme coins.
Pepe, an Ethereum-based meme coin, has experienced significant growth in recent months.
Initially, traders will have access to SOL/USD, SOL/EUR, PEPE/USD, and PEPE/EUR spot trading pairs.
The news of Bitstamp's support has positively impacted the prices of SOL and PEPE. SOL has reached a new all-time high above $263, while PEPE has surged to highs of $247.
Pepe's recent rise can be attributed to its listing on major crypto exchanges such as Coinbase and Robinhood.
