Is CAKE worth buying after DEX revealed a huge spike in TVL despite the bear market?

PancakeSwap (CAKE/USD) saw a high level of growth in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL).

The PancakeSwap decentralized exchange got built on top of the BNB Chain (BNB/USD) and lets its users swap any tokens that follow the BEP-20 token standard, but is headed in a multichain direction, first with Ethereum (ETH/USD) and now with an Aptos Chain (APT/USD) farm implementation.

The Aptos TVL increase as a catalyst for growth
