As the crypto world continues its endless quest for the next big thing, PancakeSwap, the decentralized exchange that sounds more like a brunch special than a financial platform, has been raking in the dough. 🥞💰 Earlier this month, they announced they’ve surpassed $1 trillion in trading volume on the BNB Chain. That’s right, trillion with a “T.” For context, that’s enough money to buy every pancake in the world and still have enough left over to drown them in syrup.
PancakeSwap, which operates on Ethereum, Aptos, and Arbitrum (because why limit yourself to one blockchain when you can have a buffet?), is one of the few DeFi platforms to hit this milestone. In the past 24 hours alone, they’ve recorded a trading volume of $6.34 billion from around 41.8K active daily addresses. That’s a lot of people flipping pancakes—or, more accurately, flipping crypto.
🎉 PancakeSwap has officially surpassed $1 Trillion in trading volume on @BNBCHAIN !
There’s so much more ahead. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries together:⁰🔗

Why PancakeSwap is the Syrup on Top
According to Defillama, PancakeSwap has a total value locked of about $1.8 billion and an annualized fee of $2.67 billion. They use these fees to burn CAKE tokens, which is a fancy way of saying they’re reducing the supply to make the remaining tokens more valuable. So far, they’ve obliterated 81.2% of CAKE’s max supply. That’s a lot of pancakes turned to ash.
With whale investors controlling around 10% of CAKE’s max supply, only 10% is left for retail traders. This scarcity, combined with the rising demand for PancakeSwap, has positioned CAKE’s price for a potential rally. In other words, the syrup is flowing, and the pancakes are rising.
The launch of meme coins on the BNB Chain, including one dedicated to CZ’s dog Broccoli 🥦, has also boosted on-chain activity. Because nothing says “serious financial innovation” like a cryptocurrency inspired by a vegetable-loving pet.
Over the years, PancakeSwap has built the infrastructure to support mainstream adoption of digital assets. They’ve even enhanced MEV protection to shield users from bots trying to front-run swaps. Because nothing ruins a good pancake like a bot stealing your syrup.
CAKE’s Price: Ready to Rise Like a Perfect Pancake
From a technical analysis perspective, CAKE’s price has been forming a macro reversal pattern after a long bearish slump. The mid-cap altcoin has rebounded several times from the support level of $1.54 in the past year, proving that even pancakes can bounce when dropped.
Some analysts see a bullish flag forming since March 2024, while others spot a multi-month inverted head and shoulders pattern. Either way, CAKE’s price is gearing up for a potential liftoff toward its all-time high of $43.96. But first, it needs to consistently close above the resistance level of $5.4. Because, as any pancake chef knows, timing is everything.
