Data published by Santiment shows that these mid to large-sized holders collectively acquired approximately 819 million ADA during this period. This represents roughly 1.6% of the asset’s total circulating supply. The analytics firm shared its findings in a post on X, noting that the accumulation trend persisted even as retail sentiment weakened.

Six months ago, these wallets controlled about 24.54 billion ADA. Their combined holdings have since increased to approximately 25.35 billion tokens. This shows an estimated $213.9 million in additional purchases at current valuations. 

As a result, this cohort’s share of total supply has grown from 66.84% to 68.44%. The expansion in ownership concentration suggests that larger investors have taken advantage of lower prices to strengthen their positions.

Cardano's key whales & sharks have quietly been accumulating over the past 6 months. While its price has fallen over 71% from $0.90 to $0.26, wallets with 100K-100M $ADA have added +819.4M more ADA ($213.9M) & +1.6% of the total supply. pic.twitter.com/rmyfi8E0XV

This sustained buying activity occurred alongside a substantial correction in ADA’s market price. Over the same six-month period, the token fell from $0.90 to approximately $0.26, a decline of more than 70%. 

Such a drop usually coincides with heightened fear and reduced trading activity across the broader market. However, rather than reducing exposure, these high-value wallets appear to have seen the downturn as an opportunity to accumulate at discounted levels.

Meaning of Whale Behavior

The divergence between price performance and whale behavior is important. In many market cycles, large investors tend to build positions during periods of reduced enthusiasm and distribute holdings during phases of heightened optimism. 

The current data suggests a similar pattern may be unfolding. While price weakness has unsettled smaller participants, the steady expansion of whale holdings shows a long-term outlook different from short-term market sentiment.

Outlook From Market Participants 

Some industry commentators have repeated this perspective. During discussions on The Moon Show, co-host Crypto Kid argued that although not every alternative cryptocurrency is likely to recover from the present market contraction, certain established projects may be positioned for a rebound. Cardano has been mentioned among the networks that could benefit if overall market conditions improve.

From a technical standpoint, ADA was initially trading near the $0.27 level before increasing to $0.29. The $0.27 level previously served as a significant support zone. In an earlier market cycle, price action around this range preceded a substantial upward move.

If the token maintains stability at this level and broader digital asset markets regain strength, a comparable recovery scenario could develop. Conversely, a decisive breakdown below this area may expose the asset to additional selling pressure and extend the corrective phase.

Overall, the ongoing accumulation by wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million ADA stands out against the prolonged price decline. The increase of more than 800 million tokens in whale addresses is evidence of a strategic shift toward consolidation rather than capitulation. While short-term volatility remains a possibility, the behavior of these larger holders shows measured confidence in Cardano’s longer-term prospects.

The post Santiment Reveals What Cardano (ADA) Have Whales Are Doing Quietly appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Cardano’s (ADA) price chart on CoinGecko revealed that the digital asset has been on a wild ride characterized by massive and spontaneous fluctuations.

According to findings from the price chart, Cardano (ADA) traded within the $0.60 price region for the first three days in January, after which it started recording declines.

By January 4, Cardano (ADA) had already dropped to $0.56; the decline persisted, and ADA eventually plunged to about $0.475 on January 8. 

Following the declines, which ensued between January 4 and January 8, Cardano (ADA) staged a recovery phase that saw it reclaim $0.6 on January 11. 

The recovery was transient, as Cardano (ADA) began shedding off profits again and eventually plummeted to about $0.476 on January 19; the decline that ensued from January 11 could be attributed to Bitcoin (BTC) price actions that orchestrated a sudden decline in the entire crypto market. 

Currently, Cardano (ADA) seems to be staging another recovery phase. It is changing hands at about $0.52, reflecting a 2.5% jump in the past 24 hours. However, market watchers and enthusiasts appear more concerned about what could be the reasons behind ADA’s spontaneous back-and-forth price actions.

Cardano (ADA) Whale Actions Spark Suspicions 

According to on-chain data from Santiment, Cardano (ADA) whale investors have been involved in substantial ADA sell-offs in the past few days. 

Findings revealed that whale investors, boasting 1 million to about 100 million ADA, have sold approximately 240 million ADA between January 17 and January 19, cutting their ADA holdings from 18.3 billion to 8.1 billion ADA. 

At present price standings, 240 million ADA will be worth approximately $125 million. This does not erupt pleasant news for the Cardano network. ADA enthusiasts should anticipate a potential bear that could accompany the whales’ actions.

Cardano (ADA) Appears Poised For Further Declines 

Applying basic market principles, one could see that the whale’s actions have not helped Cardano’s precarious state. Without a spontaneous spike in ADA’s market demand, the struggling cryptocurrency could even decline below $0.48, which seemed to have posed significant resistance.

Meanwhile, IntoTheBlock’s IOMAP data revealed that about 53,600 addresses procured 204 million ADA at a minimum $0.48. Should the bear break below the $0.48 constraint, another wave of panic sales might ensue, which could plunge Cardano (ADA) price further.

Vasil Upgrade Is Boosting Investors’ Interest in Cardano (ADA)

It’s obvious that Vasil hard fork is one of the biggest upgrades in the works and the current accumulation of Cardano (ADA) is an indication that investors are betting on its potential impact.

Vasil hard fork promises to increase the throughput on the Cardano network and improve the development of smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps).

It should be noted that Cardano is a constantly updated chain of blocks and each of these blocks contains transaction records. So, Vasil upgrade is coming to increase the size of each of these blocks.

This implies that the implementation of the major upgrade will create more space for data saved in each block added to the blockchain. This is expected to enhance the scalability of Cardano as it battles with other top smart contract platforms, especially Ethereum.

Massive ADA Accumulation 

According to Santiment, an on-chain data and social metrics service provider, Cardano investors are taking advantage of the crypto winter, in proper positioning for the Vasil upgrade that is just around the corner.

In particular, Cardano shark addresses holding between 10,000 to 100,000 ADA tokens are hugely accumulating more ADA tokens as the asset’s price continues to stay from its all-time high. 

Collectively, this category of investors has acquired a whopping 79.1 million ADA in just 30 days. On the other hand, Cardano whales, investors holding between 100,000 to 10,000,000 ADA tokens have stopped their massive token dumping. This signals their faith in the blockchain project. 

Santiment feed tweeted; “Cardano’s price performance has stayed particularly underwhelming in 2022, addresses holding 10k – 100k $ADA are now accumulating. They’ve added 79.1m $ADA to their collective bags in 30 days. Meanwhile, 100k – 10m whales have ceased their dumping.”

Generally, the crypto market has entered a bear season as seen in the huge price decline of many assets. Cardano (ADA) equally experienced massive token sell-offs as investors panicked. This resulted in the token’s value tumbling over 27% in the last 30 days.

However, some investors are taking advantage of the price discount to boost their ADA holdings while expecting a positive market run as the Vasil upgrade on Cardano mainnet nears.

Vasil Upgrade on Cardano Mainnet Approaches

Vasil upgrade on Cardano mainnet is the next big event for the blockchain project. Being a complex upgrade, the IOG team has been employing measures that will result in a stable and successful upgrade. 

For this reason, the Vasil upgrade could not be implemented in June as initially scheduled when some minor bugs were detected. Later on, Charles Hoskinson, Cardano creator noted that the crash of Terra (LUNA) triggered the upgrade postponement to a new date. 

In late June, the final candidate before the anticipated mainnet hard fork, Cardano Node 1.35.0 was released. Subsequently, the Input Output Global (IOG) developers team confirmed the successful Vasil upgrade on Cardano’s testnet on June 3. 

Up next is the mainnet upgrade and it appears Cardano sharks and whales are getting well-positioned for the bullish event as they keep accumulating ADA tokens. 

Recently, some Twitter users rolled out claims that Cardano’s smart contracts are not compatible with the Vasil upgrade. However, Tim Harrison, vice president of the IOG, refuted the FUD about the impending Vasil hard fork.

The market capitulation also sent the price of ADA, Cardano’s native token, to a bottom at $0.4 on the 12th of May 2022. Despite the market situation, data provided by Santiment shows that whales have been busy taking advantage of the price dips to buy more ADA, in preparation for the upcoming Vasil hard fork designed to boost Cardano network performance.

Cardano (ADA) Whale Transactions Hit 4-Month High

According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, ADA whale (wallets with over $100,000 worth of ADA) transactions surged to 1,085 earlier this month, the largest increase seen since January 2022.

As related by Santiment, there were tons of transactions initiated by Cardano whales during the major market downturn, which indicated that whales were trying to leverage the dip, believing that the market will recover in the long run.

Santiment tweeted, “Cardano’s whales showed a flurry of transactions yesterday as prices were bottoming out to $0.40, between 8am and 12pm UTC. These spikes have very commonly indicated price direction changes for ADA, and we’re monitoring further whale activity closely.”

It’s worth noting that Cardano (ADA) investors have somewhat been holding their assets throughout the bear market, unlike when they were busy selling ADA. The spike in whale transactions came after ADA bag holders started accumulating once again about five weeks ago.

Also, data from Coinbase’s price pages shows that ADA has a typical hold time of 121 days. This implies that Cardano users on the platform hold onto their assets for over four months before selling them or sending them to another account or address.

According to the crypto exchange, a long hold time signals an accumulation trend, while a short hold time indicates an increase in the movement of tokens.

Cardano (ADA) Whales Buying the Dip

As recently reported by the crypto analytics platform Santiment, Cardano whale addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million ADA have been on an accumulation spree over the past five weeks despite its price hovering around 15-month low levels. In total, this group of Cardano whales has accumulated relatively 200 million ADA within the aforementioned period.

The change in whale sentiment comes after months of dumping ADA tokens which drove the price of the 9th largest cryptocurrency down by 75% since its peak in September 2021 to a February low. A spike in buying pressure could essentially mean that the whales are eyeing potential recovery in the near term. This demand barrier could act as a formidable support floor at $0.8.

Cardano picked up significant network activity in the first quarter of the year. Large transaction volume (LTV) on the blockchain suggested a rise in institutional demand.

Since the beginning of the year, the LTV rose from 1.35 billion ADA per day to 69 billion ADA, changing hands on Cardano, more than a 50x increase in just three months.

This was revealed by yet another prominent analytic platform, IntoTheBlock. In fact, a 216% hike in transaction volume was seen in the past year. Howbeit, the latest data compiled by ITB depicts that the metric has slumped since April.
