Cardano (ADA) Whale Activity Soars, Outpacing Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin

Cardano (ADA) has witnessed a remarkable surge in whale activity, with an average daily transaction volume reaching a staggering $13.84 billion over the past week, as reported by IntoTheBlock. This influx of large transactions places Cardano's activity at one-third of Bitcoin's current volume, surpassing Litecoin by a striking 500% and outpacing Dogecoin by an astonishing 1,600%.

On-Chain Data Reveals Fluctuating Volumes

Delving deeper into the on-chain data reveals a dynamic landscape of fluctuating volumes. Despite a slight decline from its peak of 27.67 billion ADA (equivalent to $14.08 billion), the volume of large transactions remains formidable at 23.22 billion ADA (equivalent to $10.87 billion).

Cardano Whales Drive Activity

Cardano whales are actively transacting, with an average large transaction volume of $13.84B a day in the last 7 days. For comparison, this is a third of Bitcoin's current volume, 5x as much as Litecoin's volume, and over 16x that of Dogecoin!

ADA Price Outlook

Amidst this surge in whale activity, the price of ADA has faced a setback. Experiencing a decline of over 7.8% in the past week alone, the Cardano token opened the new week with continued downward momentum, currently resting at $0.4543 per token. ADA to USD by CoinMarketCap

Despite the impressive volume of whale transactions, it appears that this surge has not translated into a corresponding surge in the token's market value. The divergence between on-chain activity and market sentiment raises questions about the underlying factors driving Cardano's recent surge in whale activity and how it will affect the token's price.
