ADA Accumulation By Whales On The Rise

According to cryptocurrency on-chain and social metrics data provider Santiment, whale activity around ADA is on the rise. In the last 30 days, whales collectively added $79.1 million worth ADA to their bags, the data shows. Interestingly, this accumulation is found to have been done by addresses holding 10,000 to 100K ADA.

Also, whale addresses holding 100K to 10 million ADA have stopped the dumping in the recent times. This is particularly important as it indicates an anticipation of ADA price increase in short term.
