On-chain analytics firm Santiment announces in a tweet on April 12 that Cardano’s top whales have been accumulating ADA since last year as the ADA price continues to slip below its ATH price of $3.10 in September 2021.

Moreover, Cardano whale addresses with more than 10 million ADA that owned just 10% of Cardano supply in Feb 2021 are now holding 46.7% of the total supply of Cardano.

“Cardano is down -59% since its $3.10 #AllTimeHigh. However, the asset’s top whales (holding 10M+ $ADA) have returned to their largest percentage of supply held in two years, at 46.6%. Note that a large portion of these addresses are owned by exchanges.”

The Cardano Whale Supply Distribution metric indicates the total supply of Cardano (ATH) held by whales with respect to the price trends. And the price trend has been moving in the opposite direction despite rising whale accumulation, indicating optimism among whales for a better price in the future.

Moreover, another piece of data on the number of wallets holding Cardano (ADA) points to a significant bullish outlook on Cardano.
