Bitstamp, a US-based cryptocurrency exchange, has added support for Solana (SOL) and Pepe (PEPE) on its platform. The surprise listings caused a surge in the prices of both altcoins, with Solana reaching a peak of $246 from a low of $235, and Pepe rising from $0.00001941 to $0.00002101. Both coins have since retraced and are currently trading at $240 and $0.00002038, respectively. Bitstamp describes Solana as a fast and scalable blockchain platform, while Pepe is a meme asset inspired by the character Pepe the Frog. Bitstamp recently announced its acquisition by Robinhood for $200 million, despite facing regulatory challenges from the SEC.
