PanCakeSwap Team Burns 10 Mln Tokens, CAKE Price Soars 25%

PanCakeSwap (CAKE), a popular player in the crypto arena, witnessed a massive burn on Tuesday. In a bid to curb the circulating supply of the CAKE crypto, over 10 million tokens were burned by the PanCakeSwap team. This move propelled the CAKE crypto price further as it rallied over 20% in today’s trading session.

PanCakeSwap Team Burns 10 Million Cake Tokens

In a recent post on X, the PanCakeSwap network announced that their team burned 10.16 million CAKE tokens (worth $34 million) on December 26. After the recent PanCakeSwap burn, the circulating supply declined from 275 million to 265 million. Currently, the total supply of PanCakeSwap stands at 386 million while the max supply is capped at 750 million.

However, the network had earlier proposed to cap the maximum supply at 450 million. The proposal was made to recover the losses that the CAKE crypto suffered after several declines. It is yet to be implemented, hence, the team will initiate massive burns in the meantime to assist price movement.

According to a recent statement by the team, these burns will be conducted on a weekly basis until decided otherwise. Initially, the December 26 PanCakeSwap burn was scheduled for Christmas, which was postponed due to technical issues.
