CAKE burn’s impact on the network

PancakeSwap revealed in the tweet that the massive surge in burn rate caused its trading fees to go up by over 190%. The increase in trading fees was primarily due to the inclusion of the v3 fee and Market Marker fee in April.

However, it was surprising to see that despite the increase in fees, PancakeSwap’s revenue remained unaffected.

PancakeSwap v3’s performance was also not the best on Ethereum [ETH]. As per Dune’s data, the number of daily transactions and users went down sharply over the last few days. However, things were in check on BNB Chain, as evident from the chart.

CAKE is drifting further below 

CAKE’s piece action has been a matter of concern for quite some time now. The token’s position on the list of the top 10 cryptos by market cap has also declined lately. At press time, CAKE was trading at $1.86, with a market cap of more than $373 million.

A look at the token’s on-chain metrics suggested that, despite the higher burn rate, investors might have more days of hardship. CAKE’s MVRV Ratio remained low, which is typically bearish.

The number of daily active addresses also declined, suggesting less usage. Additionally, negative sentiments around CAKE were dominant in the market, as evident from its low weighted sentiment.
