This huge amount of ADA held by whales might suggest a notable accumulation by these large holders. The on-chain data also suggests that whales are entering a massive accumulation phase after a seven-month dumping stretch.
Meanwhile, due to continuous market instability, the price of Cardano has dropped roughly 11% in the last 24 hours. Obviously, ADA has underperformed this year, dipping by more than 42% since the start of the year. After recording big gains in the past year, ADA is now down 77.46% from its all-time high set in September 2021, just before the Alonzo hard fork update.
Charles Hoskinson on ADA’s Poor Performance
Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, has stated that the crypto market might have entered a bear market, which is why ADA has been performing poorly lately.
Hoskinson admits that no announcement will have an impact. As a result, despite the blockchain project expanding technical capabilities and growing community, the ADA price might continue to struggle.

Hoskinson also noted that mainnet launch of Djed will serve as a major milestone for algorithmic stablecoins.
At the time of filing this report, Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.662, with a relatively 11% price downtrend in the last 24 hours. According to CoinMarketCap, Cardano currently occupies the 8th position in the crypto market.
