BitsPay Exchange, now ranked as the 45th largest centralized exchange in the world, has announced the listing of Patos Meme Coin ($PATOS). The move marks a major step forward for the Solana-based token and signals growing interest from large trading platforms.
The announcement follows a strong performance by BitsPay. The exchange recorded more than $20 billion in trading volume over the past 30 days and reached a single-day peak of $5.95 billion. These figures place BitsPay among the fastest-growing centralized exchanges in the market.
What sets this listing apart is the trading pair. Instead of launching with a stablecoin like USDT, $PATOS will trade directly against Bitcoin (BTC). This type of pairing is rare for meme coins and is usually reserved for more established assets. Analysts say the BTC pair could attract traders who prefer to operate in Bitcoin rather than stablecoins.
The direct Bitcoin pairing may also improve liquidity and price discovery. By tapping into Bitcoin’s deep trading volume, $PATOS gains access to a broader group of traders, including higher-volume participants who often avoid smaller meme coin markets.
The listing is part of a wider rollout plan from the Patos team. The project is pursuing a “111 Exchange” strategy, aiming to appear on 111 exchanges within its launch week. The goal is to make the token easy to access for retail traders worldwide from day one.
Market interest is already building. The presale is close to reaching $100,000, and the first round of token supply is nearly sold out. Many traders expect sharp price movement once trading opens, driven by new liquidity and early demand.
On-chain activity has also drawn attention. Data shows a large Solana wallet recently accumulated more than 12 million $PATOS tokens through multiple transactions. This pattern suggests strong confidence from high-value investors ahead of the public launch.
According to crypto analyst Ohris M. Greyoon, the BitsPay listing is a strategic milestone. He notes that pairing $PATOS with Bitcoin pushes the token beyond the usual meme coin narrative and positions it as a serious contender in the 2026 crypto cycle.
With its June 26 launch approaching, the Patos Meme Coin project is quickly moving from presale hype to real market exposure, backed by one of the world’s top 50 centralized exchanges.
