Cardano network’s whale addresses are scooping up ADA tokens

ADA whale accumulation
Whales are likely anticipating a recovery in ADA price. The last time whales in this segment holding between 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 accumulated ADA and scooped up the altcoins, there was an increase in Cardano’s price.
The altcoin’s blockchain recently launched a Layer 2 scaling solution, Hydra. The Layer 2 protocol operates on the Cardano blockchain and Hydra was designed to improve Cardano’s transaction throughput and overall efficiency of the blockchain.
Hydra enables parallel processing of transactions and boosts the overall capacity of Cardano’s blockchain. This development could likely act as a bullish catalyst for Cardano price.
Cardano’s Year-to-Date (YTD) performance is fourth best in the crypto ecosystem, after Solana, Bitcoin and Ethereum. Interestingly, the altcoin observed 65 million transactions as its network continued growing in April 2023.
