The popular Cryptocurrency exchange “Bitstamp” announced this Friday on the social network X that it will officially list the Solana cryptocurrency and the PEPE memecoin in the United States.
According to the announcement by Bitstamp USA, the PEPE and SOL tokens will receive trading pairs against the US dollar and the euro. This, despite the fact that SOL and PEPE have been gaining popularity throughout the crypto market for years, being present on various exchanges for quite some time.
Furthermore, this news represents a change of course for SOL, since Bitstamp announced that it would stop operating with this cryptocurrency in August 2023. This is because the exchange indicated, at that time, that Solana and six other cryptocurrencies would be suspended « permanently”, after being classified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as “unregistered securities”.
It should be noted that Solana is currently the third most important cryptocurrency, with $114 billion in capitalization, excluding Tether’s USDT Stablecoin. Additionally, the PEPE memecoin is in position number nineteen with $8.5 billion in market capitalization, being surpassed by Dogecoin (DOGE).
Currently, Solana is trading at $241.54 dollars, accumulating gains of 2.36% in the last 24 hours. Source: CoinMarketCap
On the other hand, it is important to note that PEPE has already been listed on important trading platforms in the United States, such as Robinhood US and Coinbase. This, despite the fact that memecoin has been on the market for more than a year and has gained significant popularity with hundreds of thousands of headlines and billions of dollars in turnover, driven by this, American platforms have barely begun to offer it a trading ecosystem.

It is important to note that 2025 has represented a very important year for cryptocurrencies and memecoins. This, driven mainly by the approval of cryptocurrency ETFs in the United States and by the recent victory of Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential elections.
Furthermore, the increase in Bitcoin, up to almost $100,000, has had a positive effect on the entire memecoin ecosystem.
Likewise, according to experts, it is expected that following the recent political events in the United States, new measures are coming, accompanied by a large number of positive changes in the country’s regulatory approach to cryptocurrencies.
Furthermore, now that Gary Gensler has resigned from his position as SEC Chairman, the regulatory institution is likely to be headed by pro-cryptocurrency individuals. Because of this, that perspective has led several crypto platforms to adopt the coming change, as Bitstamp has done.
On the other hand, on November 13, the platforms “Coinbase” and “Robinhood” also listed SOL, XRP, ADA and PEPE, triggering an avalanche of trading activity. Following the announcement in the middle of the month, PEPE soared to all-time highs and its trading volume increased to almost $10 billion.
Additionally, the PEPE memecoin is trading at $0.00002051 dollars, accumulating monthly gains of 110.67%. Source: CoinMarketCap
