As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in the ever-evolving world of finance and technology, I find this latest development from Bitstamp quite intriguing. Support for Solana (SOL) and Pepe (PEPE) on their platform is a strategic move that underscores the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies, particularly meme coins, in the mainstream financial landscape.
One of the early players in the cryptocurrency exchange market, Bitstamp, has recently declared its backing for Solana and Pepe, making these options available to American users.
Based on reports, trading for the Pepe (PEPE) and Solana (SOL) tokens has now been made available to American traders through Bitstamp USA. Notably, Bitstamp USA is officially recognized as a virtual currency business and a money transmitter by New York State’s Department of Financial Services.
One simple way to rephrase that would be: Solana is a widely used blockchain platform that allows for smart contracts and it’s currently listed in the top 10 digital currencies based on market capitalization.
The blockchain network hosts an extensive array of projects spanning various sectors such as decentralized finance, non-fungible token marketplaces, gaming, and meme coins. Lately, the native token SOL has surpassed its previous record high, soaring above $263. Over the past year, its worth has increased by a staggering 305%.
Currently, Pepe is a meme token built on the Ethereum blockchain. Over the last several months, its value has noticeably increased due to a general upward trend in the crypto market.
At launch, Bitstamp is set to provide trading options for currencies paired with both the US dollar and the Euro. As announced by the exchange, traders now have the opportunity to engage in spot trading for Solana (SOL) against the US dollar (SOL/USD) and Euro (SOL/EUR), as well as Pepe (PEPE) against the US dollar (PEPE/USD) and Euro (PEPE/EUR).
In response to this news, the value of SOL and PEPE increased significantly. PEPE soared to a peak of $247, while BTC regained $98k. Simultaneously, the meme coin surged to $0.000021 and experienced a 6% growth over the previous 24 hours at the moment of writing.
PEPE recently rose sharply after crypto exchanges Coinbase and trading app Robinhood listing.
