A proposal to make PancakeSwap (CAKE) scarce isn’t preventing the
token from collapsing, reading from the candlestick recorded on
April 19. CAKE Slides 25% From February Highs CAKE is the utility
token of PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange running on the
Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Like the rest of the cryptocurrency
market, CAKE is under immense pressure, dropping four percent on
the last trading day. Related Reading: CAKE Remains Under Pressure
Despite PancakeSwap Dominating BSC Notably, CAKE is also down 25%
from early February. The token price is at March 2023 lows and
looks likely to break the support line at around $3.45. The
bearish engulfing bar of April 19 is wide-ranging and with decent
volumes. It is a continuation of losses of March 27 and a
confirmation of sellers set in motion on February 9. On this day,
the Uniswap community voted to deploy Uniswap v3 on BNB Chain, a
smart contracting platform similar to Ethereum. It also marked the
first time Uniswap, a decentralized exchange, had been deployed to
a high-activity platform like the BNB Chain. The contraction of
CAKE prices was in response to the expected competition considering
Uniswap’s dominance in Ethereum and decentralized finance (DeFi),
judging from the protocol’s total value locked (TVL). As an
illustration, DeFiLlama data on April 19 shows
that Uniswap had a TVL of $4.29 billion, more than $2
billion that of PancakeSwap. Despite initial fears, PancakeSwap
remains the dominant DEX on the BNB Chain ecosystem, enabling the
trading of BEP-20 tokens. PancakeSwap’s Tokenomics Proposal CAKE’s
dump continues even after a proposal from the PancakeSwap community
to make CAKE more deflationary. In the new proposal, CAKE
would have an annual inflation rate of 3% and 5%, prioritizing
shifting to a more sustainable staking model. Here, the goal is to
have low staking inflation of CAKE, wherein the real yield is from
PancakeSwap’s revenue. At the same time, the goal is to create a
structure that favors long-term CAKE staking. Related Reading:

Blow? Breaking down details, staking allocation per block will drop
from 6.65 CAKE per block to a target of about 0.35 – 1 CAKE per
block. At the same time, a system favoring long-term stakers will
see CAKE holders who choose to tie their tokens for longer earn a
bigger share of the platform’s revenue. CAKE stakers will be
allocated 5% of trading fees generated from PancakeSwap v3. 1/14
