CAKE Wallet
PancakeSwap Wallet in the UK: For iOS, Android, and Desktop Users
PancakeSwap (CAKE) is the token of PancakeSwap, a decentralised exchange that started on BNB Smart Chain and now runs on several blockchains. CAKE is a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain. The CEX.IO Wallet keeps CAKE across a mobile app and a desktop browser under a single account. CEX.IO holds the private keys to that account, so the customer does not record a seed phrase.
CAKE Wallet for All Devices
CAKE holders can take part in PancakeSwap governance proposals. Voting uses an address the holder controls, so CAKE held in a custodial account such as the CEX.IO Wallet cannot be used to vote directly. The price of CAKE can fall as well as rise. A PancakeSwap holder can access the CEX.IO Wallet in a desktop browser, a mobile browser, and the CEX.IO app for iOS and Android. The same account can hold other listed assets next to CAKE, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and connects to Instant Buy, Spot Trading and CEX.IO Convert, subject to availability in your region. Any fees that apply are shown before you confirm a transaction, and the Limits and Commissions page publishes the fee schedule.
CEX.IO CAKE Wallet
A customer in the UK can buy CAKE with a debit card or another payment method available in their account. A customer can also sell CAKE and receive the proceeds through a payout method available to them. CEX.IO Convert changes CAKE into another listed asset. The routes available depend on your region and verification level, and the Limits and Commissions page publishes the fee schedule.

FAQ
What is CAKE?
CAKE is the BEP-20 token of PancakeSwap, a decentralised exchange whose home chain is BNB Smart Chain. Holders can vote on PancakeSwap governance proposals from an address they control.
Can I buy PancakeSwap in the UK?
Yes. UK customers can buy CAKE on CEX.IO. You complete identity verification and an appropriateness assessment first, and a 24 hour cooling-off period applies before your first cryptoasset purchase. The payment methods available depend on your region and verification level.
How can I track the value of my CAKE?
The CEX.IO prices page lists the current price of CAKE.
How do I choose a CAKE wallet?
A custodial wallet holds the private keys for the customer, so the provider controls access and the customer signs in. A self-custody wallet puts the keys in the customer's hands, so the customer also backs them up and can use the tokens directly, for example in a governance vote. The CEX.IO browser wallet runs in a web browser, and the app adds biometric sign-in.
Can I store other cryptocurrencies in the UK with CEX.IO?
Yes. The same account can hold other assets listed on CEX.IO alongside CAKE, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The assets available depend on your region.
How to send crypto from CEX.IO wallet
To send CAKE from the wallet, select Send, paste the destination address, confirm the network, and confirm the amount. Check the address before you confirm, as blockchain transactions cannot be reversed.
What should I look at in a mobile CAKE wallet?
The CEX.IO app offers biometric sign-in, notifications on account activity, market data, and the same account the customer uses in the browser.
What should I check before choosing a crypto wallet provider?
Points worth checking before picking a provider: who holds the private keys, which authentication controls exist such as two-factor authentication, which jurisdiction the provider operates under, and what it publishes about asset storage. CEX.IO Markets UK Limited holds registration with the Financial Conduct Authority under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 for anti-money laundering supervision only, and this is not FCA authorisation or approval of any product.
Should I use a crypto wallet by CEX.IO?
A CEX.IO wallet holds CAKE and other listed assets and connects to Instant Buy, Spot Trading and CEX.IO Convert, subject to availability in your region. Because it is custodial, CEX.IO holds the private keys, so the customer hands control of those keys to the provider. The choice between a custodial account and self-custody rests with the customer.
Is it necessary to have a wallet to trade crypto?
Yes. An account holds the assets and funds a customer trades with, so it is the base for Instant Buy, CEX.IO Convert, and Spot Trading. A customer can turn on two-factor authentication on the account.
What types of crypto wallets exist?
Crypto wallets fall into two groups: hot storage that stays connected to the internet, and cold storage that holds the keys offline.
Hot wallet
A hot wallet stays connected to the internet, as a desktop program, a mobile app, or a web browser wallet, and the CEX.IO Wallet runs as the last two. A strong password, transaction notifications, and avoiding public Wi-Fi reduce the risk of unauthorised access.
Cold wallet
A cold wallet holds the private keys offline, often on a dedicated hardware device, so a transfer needs the device on hand. A hardware device costs money, may support a narrower range of assets, and prices vary by model.
