PEPE debuts as first memecoin on Japan's BITPoint exchange

The popular Pepe memecoin, inspired by the internet’s beloved "Pepe the Frog" character, has officially been listed on Bitpoint, a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange, marking a significant step in its journey as a trending digital asset.
This listing reflects the ongoing popularity of meme coins in the crypto market, where community-driven tokens like Pepe, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu attract a growing user base through online culture and social media appeal, reports Cryptopolitan.
Bitpoint’s decision to list Pepe shows the increasing acceptance of meme coins within the regulated crypto exchange environment, especially in markets like Japan that maintain strict guidelines for digital assets. Bitpoint’s Pepe listing allows users to trade the token alongside major cryptocurrencies, offering fans of meme coins a legitimate platform to participate in its market. This could lead to increased visibility and trading volume for Pepe, aligning with the trend of exchanges adding niche tokens to meet user demand.
Meme coins like Pepe have gained attention for their unique community engagement, often relying on social media buzz rather than traditional fundamentals. However, their popularity also comes with high volatility, and experts caution that such tokens remain speculative and should be approached with caution.
The listing on Bitpoint further legitimizes Pepe’s presence in the crypto market, highlighting how meme coins continue to find their place in mainstream exchanges despite their humorous origins. As the meme coin sector grows, listings like this could open the door for more such tokens to enter regulated platforms, expanding their reach while underscoring the importance of investor awareness and caution in a rapidly evolving space.
