History

PancakeSwap was founded in 2020 by anonymous developers. Its domain was registered in Shanghai, China. According to former Binance employees, it was created by Binance staff as an extension of its centralized exchange.

In June 2025, PancakeSwap formed a joint initiative with World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance protocol founded by Trump family, to promote its stablecoin, USD1. Hundreds of patriotic-sounding memecoins, such as Torch of Liberty and Eagles Landing, were created by users of Chinese origin to promote USD1. PancakeSwap also started a "Liquidity Drive" program, offering prizes of up to $1 million to increase trading of USD1 on its platform.
