PancakeSwap DEX Relentlessly Introducing New Features: Is CAKE USD Prepared For $5?

Could 2025 be characterized by stablecoins and DeFi (Decentralized finance)? It certainly seems that way. Following PancakeSwap’s update of a new launchpad, CakePad, CAKE USD surged upwards. Currently, CAKE USDT is hovering around 2025 peaks, and given its recent activity, one could reasonably conclude that CAKE crypto is gearing up for another increase, potentially reaching $5. Who can say for certain?

A significant factor behind the success of CAKE crypto is undoubtedly the soaring price of BNB crypto. BNB USD is trading over $1,200, with buyers setting their sights on new all-time highs, possibly targeting $2,000 by the conclusion of this bullish cycle. As Uptober unfolds, optimism is high, and astute investors are also bidding up, searching for 100X coins to invest in heavily.

As reported by DefiLlama, PancakeSwap currently oversees more than $2.6Bn in assets. Comparable to Uniswap on Ethereum, PancakeSwap reigns supreme in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ecosystem. Just in the past month, it has generated over $39M in trading fees, with $10M accrued in the previous week.

Could CAKE USD Reach $5?

The total value locked (TVL) in PancakeSwap indicates significant trust in the DEX among users. Furthermore, for value seekers, the revenue produced by the DApp translates into activity, thereby bolstering prices.

CAKE serves as PancakeSwap’s governance token, allowing holders to vote on proposals or even stake their tokens. As of October 6, CAKE crypto stakers are enjoying an APY of +11.67%, which is superior to lending USDC on Maple Finance.

An analysis of crypto holder sentiment suggests that the majority are leaning bullish. The average long/short ratio on Binance stands at 2, indicating traders are accumulating long positions. Additionally, the increase in trading volume observed earlier today implies that traders are actively establishing new positions.

The surge in open interest confirms this view. Open interest gauges the total number of leveraged open positions. Since October 1, CAKE crypto open interest has more than tripled, escalating from below $60M to around $180M on October 4.

Examining the CAKE USDT chart indicates CAKE crypto is positioned within a optimistic upward movement pattern. After surpassing $3.1 and the September 2025 apex, buyers are aiming for December 2024 peaks of roughly $4.5. If CAKE crypto bulls maintain their momentum, the subsequent achievable target will be $5 and beyond.

On X, one analyst remarked that $5 represents a “technical target” that, if surpassed, would signal a price breakout above the ascending triangle.

Others believe that not only will CAKE USD surpass $5, but it could potentially double to $10 if “momentum accelerates.”

PancakeSwap Expanding, Launches CakePad and Stock Perpetuals

Recent advancements by PancakeSwap are laying the groundwork for $5 and $10.

While increasing BNB USD valuations assist in raising ecosystem tokens, the team behind the premier DEX on the Binance Smart Chain is likewise stimulating market demand.

Earlier today, they unveiled CakePad, a fresh launchpad built upon the Initial Farming Offerings (IFO) structure.

Eliminating traditional locking tokens pools and lock-up difficulties, CakePad now enables users to commit any amount of CAKE from non-custodial wallets to engage with projects that are likely to skyrocket on centralized trading platform listings.

In cases where market demand exceeds token supply, a system is activated to ensure a fair, tiered subscription tax that promotes inclusivity while directing +100% of those fees towards CAKE crypto burns.

Beyond CakePad, PancakeSwap is also making strides by launching stock perpetuals on October 3.
