With recent launches on zkSync Era and zkEVM, PancakeSwap has been setting up its game by expanding its ecosystem. In fact, the growth trajectory can rise further with the DEX’s latest launch on Arbitrum [ARB] One. However, the DEX’s ecosystem growth has not affected its token’s price positively.
PancakeSwap outshines Uniswap
CryptoDiffer, a popular Twitter handle that posts updates related to cryptos, revealed that CAKE’s web traffic was nearly 4 million more than that of Uniswap in the month of July 2023.
Not only that, but PancakeSwap also dominated Uniswap on BNB Chain [BNB]. This was evident from CAKE’s daily volume dominance, which consistently remained above the 90% mark.

PancakeSwap’s multichain efforts are praiseworthy

Additionally, its TVL also increased by over 8% in the last 24 hours.

Users can select the price that best suits their preferences and select liquidity pools from a multi-tier fee structure with fees ranging from 0.01% to 1%. The DEX also mentioned the reasons behind choosing Arbitrum, such as mass adoption potential, scalability, and efficiency.
Considering the rise in PancakeSwap’s popularity, the latest launch can fuel further adoption and usage of the DEX in the months to come.
CAKE is not getting affected
While the DEX continued to expand its ecosystem, its native token, CAKE, was still struggling to push its price up. According to CoinMarketCap, CAKE’s price dropped by more than 3% in the last seven days.
At press time, it was trading at $1.47 with a market capitalization of over $312 million.

Despite the downtrend, investors’ confidence in CAKE remained high, as evident from the slight rise in the total number of holders. The recent launches have also helped CAKE remain a topic of discussion, causing its social volume to spike.
Additionally, whale activity around the token remained high.
