BNB Chain's decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume soared to $6.051 billion on October 7, marking the second-highest level this year, according to DeFiLlama data. The surge is attributed to the growing popularity of meme tokens on the BNB Chain. PancakeSwap, a leading DEX on the network, captured a significant portion of this activity, with a 24-hour trading volume reaching $4.29 billion.
