Bonk now tradable on Bitstamp
According to an announcement, Bitstamp has added support for two trading pairs for BONK – against USD and EUR. Both BONK/USD and BONK/EUR will be available for trading on the centralized exchange for its customers globally – except in the US and Singapore.
Bonk is a meme coin that shot into the limelight in 2023, exploding as a new surge in meme coins pushed Solana higher.

Popular exchanges that currently list BONK trading pairs include Binance, Coinbase and OKX.
Bitstamp teased potential WIF listing
Today’s listing of Bonk comes just a day after Bitstamp teased a potential listing of Dogwifhat (WIF), another popular Solana meme coin.
If Bitstamp lists WIF, it will join top crypto exchange and trading platforms Binance, OKX, Bybit and Kraken in listing the meme coin.

Amid today’s news, both Dogwifhat and Bonk are trading slightly higher. At the time of writing, WIF was changing hands at $2.01 while BONK traded at $0.00002131.
Robinhood to acquire Bitstamp
