The network revealed that the team removed around 10.17 million CAKE tokens, worth over $35M, from the total supply on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the token burn has reduced PancakeSwap coins in the circulating supply to 265M from 275M. The maximum supply stands at 750M.
Earlier, PancakeSwap planned to lower the max supply to 450M to rescue the altcoin from prolonged price dips. The project is yet to implement the proposal. Therefore, the team will introduce enormous weekly burns to boost the altcoin.
Crypto burns are crucial in the digital assets sector as they reduce asset supply. Reduced assets translate to amplified demand for cryptocurrencies, boosting value and prices.
