Cardano whale activity increases on ADA blockchain
Cardano network’s large wallet investors influence the asset’s price trend, based on historical data. According to data from crypto intelligence tracker Santiment, there was a spike in large volume transactions, of upwards of $100,000 on the ADA network in May 2022 that resulted in a local top and a 36% price rally in June.
The ADA blockchain has seen an increase in activity by whales in its network. Cardano is seeing the highest whale activity that the network has observed in nine months, as addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million ADA tokens continue rebounding.
Cardano’s large volume transactions have hit the highest point since the week of May 11 to 17 2022, and the asset has yielded 59% gains for ADA holders since the beginning of 2023.

The bullish developments in the Cardano ecosystem could therefore trigger a rally in the altcoin, despite the recent macroeconomic headwinds. The developers behind the Ethereum-killer token announced key updates to the ADA blockchain.
