PancakeSwap, everyone's favorite decentralized exchange (DEX) on the BNB Chain, just dropped their monthly Kitchen Report for October 2025. If you're into meme tokens or blockchain trading, this update is packed with exciting developments that show how the platform is evolving. From burning millions of CAKE tokens to hitting new records in trading volume, let's break it down in simple terms.

CAKE.PAD Goes Live with Back-to-Back Successes

One of the biggest highlights was the launch of CAKE.PAD, a new platform for token sales built right into PancakeSwap. Think of it as a launchpad where projects can raise funds by selling tokens, and in this case, using CAKE as the currency. In October, they kicked things off with two sales: one for @sigmadotmoney and another for @AiWhitebridge. Both were hugely popular, raising over 118,000 CAKE in total—which was then burned, helping reduce the token's supply. For meme token enthusiasts, this means easier access to new launches on a trusted DEX, potentially sparking the next big viral coin.

Bringing Real World Assets (RWAs) Onchain

PancakeSwap teamed up with @OndoFinance to bring Real World Assets (RWAs) to the BNB Chain. RWAs are basically tokenized versions of traditional investments like stocks, ETFs, and bonds. Now, you can trade over 100 of these directly on PancakeSwap. This bridges the gap between traditional finance and crypto, making it simpler for users to diversify without leaving the blockchain. For the meme token crowd, it adds more liquidity and attracts serious traders, which could boost overall activity on the platform.

All-Time High Monthly Volume and User Milestones

October was a blockbuster month for trading on PancakeSwap. They hit an all-time high (ATH) in monthly trading volume, alongside welcoming their 150 millionth trader. That's a massive community milestone! High volumes mean more fees generated, which often feed back into token burns and rewards. If you're trading meme tokens on BNB Chain, this surge likely means faster swaps and better prices due to increased liquidity.

Ongoing CAKE Token Burns: 26 Months Strong

The report also detailed the latest CAKE burn stats. CAKE is PancakeSwap's native token, used for governance, staking, and more. In October:

• Minted: 674,316 CAKE (new tokens created, often for rewards)
• Burned: 5,662,618 CAKE (permanently removed from circulation)
• Net Mint: -4,988,301 CAKE (overall reduction)
• Percentage of Total Supply Burned: -1.405%

This continues a streak of 26 straight months of supply reduction, with over 33,786,790 CAKE burned since September 2023. Burning tokens like this can help increase scarcity, potentially driving up value over time—great news for holders. For context, token burns are a common deflationary mechanism in crypto, especially in meme token projects, to reward long-term supporters.

These updates show PancakeSwap isn't just resting on its laurels—it's actively innovating to stay at the top of the DEX game. For meme token traders, features like CAKE.PAD and RWA trading could open up new opportunities on BNB Chain.
