What Drove CAKE's Rally?

The CAKE token reached first place on Coinmarketcap's Top 100 thanks to a combination of key factors. One of the main catalysts was the announcement that HashKey Global will list the CAKE/USDT pair starting March 21. Furthermore, CAKE futures open interest increased 41.25%, reaching $98.20 million, close to its all-time high.

PancakeSwap, based on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), also recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $647 million, controlling 61% of the decentralized exchange (DEX) market. This reflects a strong influx of liquidity and trader confidence.
