PEPE and Solana Prices Surge After Bitstamp Listings
Two popular altcoins, Solana (SOL) and Pepe (PEPE), are seeing a surge in price after being listed on the US-based crypto exchange Bitstamp. Bitstamp announced the addition of Solana and Pepe in a recent blog post, making them available for trading in the US.
The news of the listings caused both SOL and PEPE to experience significant price increases. Solana’s price jumped from $235 to $246, while PEPE saw an increase from $0.00001941 to $0.00002101. Currently, SOL is trading at $240, and PEPE is at $0.00002038.
Bitstamp describes Solana as a cutting-edge blockchain platform designed for fast and scalable transactions. On the other hand, Pepe is a meme coin inspired by the legendary Pepe the Frog character, with no utility beyond collecting and trading.
Earlier this year, Robinhood announced its acquisition of Bitstamp for $200 million, despite facing scrutiny from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The listings on Bitstamp have sparked excitement among fans of Solana and Pepe, leading to increased trading activity for both coins.
