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

Could 2025 be marked by stablecoins and Decentralized finance? It certainly seems so. Following PancakeSwap’s news of its new launchpad, CakePad, CAKE USD rapidly climbed. Currently, CAKE USDT is around the peak levels for 2025, and judging by the latest trends, it looks like CAKE crypto is gearing up for a further increase, possibly reaching $5. Who can say for sure.

A significant factor in the success of CAKE crypto is likely the surging price of BNB. BNB USD is now trading above $1,200, and investors are eyeing new peaks, potentially up to $2,000 by the conclusion of this bull cycle. With Uptober in full swing, optimism is on the rise, and astute investors are actively participating, searching for 100X coins to invest in.

As reported by DefiLlama, PancakeSwap currently manages over $2.6 billion in assets. Much like Uniswap in the Ethereum platform, PancakeSwap reigns as the leading DEX in the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) environment. Over the past month alone, it has accrued over $39 million in trading fees, with $10 million gathered just last week.

Will CAKE USD Reach $5?

The total value locked (TVL) in PancakeSwap suggests a strong degree of trust in the DEX among users. Furthermore, for those focused on value, the revenue generated by the dapp indicates ongoing activity, which supports price stability.

CAKE serves as PancakeSwap’s governance crypto token, allowing holders to vote on proposals or participate in staking. As of October 6, CAKE crypto stakers were enjoying an impressive +11.67% in APY, which surpasses the returns from lending USDC on Maple Finance.

Analyzing investor sentiment shows that a majority of traders exhibit a net optimistic outlook. The average long/short ratio on Binance stands at 2, indicating that traders are increasingly favoring long positions. Additionally, the surge in trading volume earlier today implies that many traders are opening new positions.

Rising open interest supports this view. Open interest reflects the cumulative number of leveraged open positions. Since the start of October, CAKE crypto open interest has surged more than threefold, climbing from under $60 million to as high as $180 million on October 4.

Examining the CAKE USDT chart reveals that CAKE crypto is positioned within a optimistic breakout pattern. Following the upswing beyond $3.1 and the September 2025 peak, buyers are now setting their sights on the December 2024 highs of roughly $4.5. If CAKE crypto bulls continue their momentum, the subsequent target could be $5 and beyond.

One analyst remarked on X that $5 represents a “technical target” that, once exceeded, would validate a upward movement above the ascending triangle.

Other analysts believe that not only will CAKE USD soar past $5 but has the potential to double to $10 if “momentum accelerates.”

PancakeSwap Innovating, Launches CakePad and Stock Perpetuals

Recent innovations from PancakeSwap are paving the way toward $5 and $10.

While rising BNB USD prices price floor the growth of tokens within the ecosystem, the PancakeSwap development team is also boosting buyer interest.

Earlier today, they unveiled CakePad, a new launchpad that enhances the Initial Farming Offerings (IFO) network.

By eliminating outdated locking tokens pools and associated hassles, CakePad now offers users the ability to invest any amount of CAKE from non-custodial wallets to engage with projects poised to surge upon CEX listing.

In instances where events are oversubscribed, a mechanism will activate to ensure a fair, tiered subscription model that enhances inclusivity while directing over 100% of the fees to CAKE crypto token burns.

Beyond CakePad, PancakeSwap continues to innovate, recently launching stock perpetuals on October 3.
