PancakeSwap has reported an impressive achievement, noting that its global trading volume soared to $310.6 billion in 2024, marking a significant 179% year-on-year growth. This remarkable figure was reached through its operations across nine blockchains. In comparison, the decentralized exchange’s trading volume for 2023 stood at $111.3 billion, highlighting a substantial increase in user engagement and market activity. An underlying factor contributing to this surge was the integration of advanced Layer 2 solutions, specifically Arbitrum and Base, which enhanced transaction efficiency.
On December 16, 2024, PancakeSwap also achieved a historic milestone by recording a single-day peak trading volume of $34.7 billion. Additionally, the platform undertook a strategic move in tokenomics by burning 455.5 million CAKE tokens, culminating in a net reduction of 5.3 million CAKE, thereby permanently eliminating 1.37% of the total CAKE supply. This proactive approach reflects PancakeSwap’s commitment to enhancing value for its users while fostering a sustainable ecosystem.
