PancakeSwap achieved a record $310 billion in trading volume for 2024, marking a 179% increase from the previous year, driven by the growth of layer-2 networks like Arbitrum and Base. The platform's user-centric upgrades, including PancakeSwapX, and rising DeFi activity also contributed to this milestone. Currently, PancakeSwap ranks as the second-largest decentralized exchange, with a daily trading volume of $2.23 billion.
