Best DEX on BSC: Top 3 and how to list in 2025

DEXs on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) blockchain have $2.73B in TVL and $28.211B in trading volume over the last 7 days (as of October 30, 2025).

This ecosystem has gained significant exposure across the token and memecoin market in recent months, so it makes sense that project creators are looking for ways to ride the wave.

On top of that, it is well known that Binance (creator of BSC), as the world’s largest CEX, has real power to bring new users and deeper capital flows into the projects it builds.

Below, we break down the top 3 most popular decentralized exchanges with strong liquidity on BNB Smart Chain.

Best DEX on BSC, top 3

Here is a comparison table with the key details on the best DEXs on BSC, based on October 2025 data:

DEX	TVL on BSC	Cumulative Volume on BSC	Key Feature for Token Creators
PancakeSwap	$2.49B	$1.68T	Integration with Four Meme, Perpetuals section & crypto lottery
Uniswap	$89.38M	$114.616B	Simple dashboard, ongoing development & strong cross-chain reputation
Thena	$16.92M	$38.5B	veTHE-based voting to redirect liquidity rewards

PancakeSwap

PancakeSwap is the most popular DEX on BSC. With active trading activity dating back to late 2020, it now runs across 10 different networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Base and, of course, BNB Smart Chain, where it leads by a wide margin.

As of October 2025, its TVL on BSC is above 2.56 B, and daily volume has grown sharply: from an average of 400M–500M per day at the start of the year to more than 1B per day since May, with a peak of 6.6 B on June 30.

Over the past few months, it has stayed above 1.7 B per day, partly driven by the boom in tokens launched through the launchpad Four Meme.

Beyond standard swaps, it offers perpetuals, farming, staking, and even cross-chain bridge options. It also supports more than 19 different crypto wallets.

For creators, it has a launchpad-style section with a leaderboard where you can see the tokens with the highest market cap or the highest trading volume over the last 24 hours.

It also includes “predictions” and “lottery” sections, where users can bet on price movements or try their luck with random numbers. Both features involve high-risk activity.

Uniswap

Although Uniswap is one of the largest DEXs overall, its footprint on BSC is fairly limited. As of October 2025, its TVL on BNB Smart Chain is just 92.82M, compared with the 5.31B it manages in total across the 42 networks it supports.

For swap volume specifically on BSC, Uniswap has picked up momentum since May 2025, averaging 400M to 500M per day and recently hitting a 1.3B peak on October 7.

Its interface is clean, lightweight, and split into three core sections: Trade, Explore, and Pool.

In Trade, you can make swaps and even set limit prices.
In Explore, you can browse tokens by volume, FDV, price moves, and more, plus liquidity pools with performance, volume, and fee data, along with real-time transactions.
In Pool, users can add liquidity or create new pools, with support for V2, V3, and V4. The key differences are the fee tiers: V2 is fixed at 0.3%, while V3/V4 range from 0.01% to 1%. Also, V4 lets you add “hooks”, meaning custom smart contracts that extend what pools can do.

There have been Uniswap DEX trades on the BSC network since March 2023. While it is not the category leader, it still has plenty of room to grow and ranks as the second most-used option.

THENA

Thena is a smaller DEX on BSC compared with PancakeSwap or Uniswap. Its current TVL on BSC is 17.78M, and while it had a strong run between November 2024 and March 2025 (with average daily volume between 100M and 150M and a peak of 365M on February 13), it now averages around 15M to 30M in daily swaps.

One of its weak spots is low liquidity and a limited range of listed tokens. For example, as of today, it does not support trading Conscious, one of the tokens with the highest market cap on BSC. In other words, no one has created a pool that includes this token.

Beyond the basic sections for trading or adding liquidity, it offers standout features such as a dashboard where you can lock $THE and receive veTHE, giving you the right to vote on which pools should receive more rewards.

This does more than support governance: it can increase your returns as a liquidity provider. You can also earn fees simply by taking part in this system.

It includes an analytics section with key metrics on DEX activity, plus an interesting “Content Studio” that generates poster-style images for sharing pool data like APR and TVL on social media. Useful for promoting projects across socials.

Alternative to DEXs on BSC: 1inch

1inch is not a DEX itself: it connects to multiple DEXs and chooses the best swap routes to offer the best possible price when trading tokens.

It operates across several networks, but most of its activity is on Ethereum. Even so, on BSC it has maintained an average daily volume of 75 to 100M since May 2025, with a current TVL of 443.6K on BSC.

It comes in two versions: one for individual users and another for businesses. In the personal version, the interface is split into three clear sections:

Swap, for making trades through its aggregation engine.
Pro, with charts for deeper analysis before you trade.
Portfolio, a useful tool for tracking both your own portfolio and the top wallets connected to the protocol. You can even see the cumulative PnL (Profit & Loss) from those wallets.

It also has an optimized mobile app, which is ideal for monitoring positions or exploring trades from your phone.

1inch may not be where you launch a token, but it can be a strategic channel for gaining visibility. If your token ranks well across the DEXs connected to this aggregator, it can show up as the best swap route and attract liquidity.

How to list on a DEX on BNB Smart Chain

To list your own token on one of these DEXs on the BNB Smart Chain network, you must launch your own liquidity pool inside these protocols, as long as you have already minted your token using the BEP20 standard.

“Create your token with the BNB Smart Chain Token Creator”

Based on current market volume and community recognition, the strongest option is to launch a liquidity pool on Uniswap or PancakeSwap.

You can also ride the trend of launching your own memecoin on Four Meme, keeping in mind that if you manage to graduate your token on this launchpad, it will then be listed on PancakeSwap automatically.

FAQ

These are some of the common questions our community asks us about DEXs on BSC:

What is the best DEX for BNB Smart Chain?

Right now, the DEX most used by the BNB Smart Chain community is PancakeSwap, so it can be considered the best option based on the attention it is getting and its recent boom around Four Meme. Even so, UniSwap remains a strong competitor because it is a well-established DEX on other networks such as Ethereum and Arbitrum.

Which DEX supports the BEP2 standard?

Previously, it was the DEXs running on the BNB Beacon Chain, but since it shut down in December 2024, tokens using this standard are no longer supported.

Conclusion

Solana is one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in blockchain, and we’ve just seen how its DEX offer a wide range of useful features for both beginners and advanced users.
