Cardano Sharks In Strong Accumulation, Will ADA Price Rally?
The world’s ninth-largest cryptocurrency Cardano (ADA) has witnessed some major price movements over the last few months. However, the ADA price has been subject to a broader market correction and is down by nearly 14% over the last week.
But on-chain data provider Santiment shows that the Cardano shark addresses have been steadily accumulating even after the implosion of the crypto exchange FTX last month. This cohort of Shark Addresses now holds more than 4 Billion ADA coins. On-chain data provider Santiment reported:
Key #Cardano sharks have been accumulating steadily since June. And they have taken this level of dip buying to a new level since the #FTX fallout in early November. Addresses holding 10k to 100k $ADA have added $83M worth of coins since November 7th.
As of press time, Cardano ADA is trading 2.8% up at a price of $0.26 and a market cap of $8.9 billion. This altcoin still continues to hold its position among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap.
