PancakeSwap announces new milestones and developments
According to an official tweet from PancakeSwap’s X (formerly Twitter) account, the DEX launched perpetuals trading, a derivative contract that allows speculation on the price of assets without an expiration date, on Arbitrum in 2023.
The DEX noted a record $1 billion in total trading volume on Arbitrum. This points to the demand for perpetuals trading among users in the Arbitrum ecosystem and supports the theory of increasing relevance of PancakeSwap among market participants.
Another key development is CAKE token burn by the exchange. The exchange revealed that $25 million worth of tokens (8,740,957 CAKE) was burned on Monday. Typically, a token burn reduces the circulating supply of an asset, easing selling pressure and supporting price recovery.
8,740,957 $CAKE just burned - that’s $25M!
