$585M of $CAKE Burned in 6 Months

It might be one of the biggest kitchen fires ever. Over the past six months, PancakeSwap has burned $586 million worth of $CAKE, which exceeds the token’s current market capitalization of $532 million.

The dominant Decentralized Exchange (DEX) just completed its first burn of 2023, sending 6.9 million CAKE tokens to the flames, worth $22 million.

According to the CryptEye CAKE burn tracker, PancakeSwap has burned 179 million CAKE tokens in the past six months (with a value of $586 million).

During that time, the price of CAKE has held steady, increasing by about 4% from July 4, 2022 to Jan. 4, 2023, according to CoinMarketCap.

In total, nearly 90% of the total $CAKE supply of 775 million tokens has been incinerated during the token’s lifetime. The weekly burn program is aimed at combating inflationary pressures on the token.
