PancakeSwap Proposes Token Supply Cut To 450 Mln, Will CAKE Price Recover?
PanCakeSwap (CAKE), the crypto built on the Binance Smart Chain, has lost over 23% in value in the past year. The price decline has been a concern for its investors and the PanCakeSwap ecosystem. Hence, PanCakeSwap has now announced a proposal to reduce the CAKE total supply from 750 million to 450 million, in a bid to push the prices up and uncover the journey to the “ultrasound CAKE.”
PanCakeSwap To Restrict CAKE Total Supply
The current circulating supply of CAKE is around 388 million and restricting it to 450 million would leave room for only 62 million new coins to be added in the future. The move has been supported by the CAKE community as they believe that the crypto can recover significantly after it has lost a massive value since attaining its all-time high at $43.96 in April 2021. The CAKE crypto has been witnessing a constant decline for the past two years and is now trading at over $2.50. Therefore, restricting its total token supply could be beneficial.
PanCakeSwap also announced it has reevaluated incentives for ecosystem growth to attain accurate estimates after nearly 3 years of development. Therefore, the ecosystem believes that the reduced token supply would do better justice to its community.
Furthermore, for the ultrasound CAKE, a crucial step of lowering the total token supply has to be undertaken. It signals that PancakeSwap is aiming to shift from a hyperinflationary tokenomics model. In addition, it believes that the revised CAKE total supply of 450 million coins is reasonable enough to ensure that there is sufficient flexibility for growth and development.
