#Pancake 🥞 PancakeSwap Moves Toward Greater Scarcity: CAKE Supply Reduction Explained

PancakeSwap’s CAKE token is back in the spotlight as the community pushes forward with a plan to reduce its maximum token supply. The current proposal aims to cut the total cap from 450 million to 400 million CAKE, reinforcing PancakeSwap’s shift toward deflationary tokenomics.

Alongside the cap reduction proposal, CAKE already uses regular token burns funded by platform fees from trading, launches, and other products. These burns permanently remove tokens from circulation, helping to reduce supply over time.

Why it matters

Lower supply = greater potential scarcity

Consistent burns support deflationary pressure

Stronger tokenomics may boost long-term investor confidence

PancakeSwap continues to evolve from a high-emission model toward a leaner, burn-driven ecosystem. If governance approves the latest supply cap cut, CAKE could become even more scarce — a trend many holders are watching closely.
