Drivers of Growth
The market dynamics have been influenced by developments within decentralized exchange tokens. PancakeSwap's decentralized exchange (DEX) recently introduced a gaming marketplace, akin to Steam, albeit with a limited game catalog, and an NFT marketplace reminiscent of OpenSea or Magic Eden, catering to gamers. With 25,000 daily active users and the potential for third-party game developers to add their games, this launch propelled CAKE token from $2.2 to $2.8, eventually stabilizing around $2.6.
CEX Initiatives
Kraken exchange unveiled the X1 network in collaboration with Polygon's team. X1's native token, OKB, serves as the primary currency within Kraken. Notably, X1 is open to third-party developers, granting users access to Polygon and Ethereum networks.
