XRP fell 4% in intraday trading on Tuesday, fueled by an increasing wave of FUD among investors.

Top Crypto Gainers: PancakeSwap, BNB, DeXe rally on token burns, on-chain inflows

The Decentralized Exchange (DEX) token, CAKE, is down 1% at press time on Wednesday, reflecting a breather phase after two consecutive days of gains, resulting in over 30% gains so far this week. Fueling the recovery run, PancakeSwap announced in an X post on Tuesday that the weekly net token mint was -753k CAKE, burned from circulation alongside the total product burns of 894k CAKE, worth $3.24M. With the deflationary trend in motion, demand could experience linear growth, creating a positive feedback loop with the CAKE token price.
