Cardano Whale Count Climbs To 4-Month High Amid Steady Accumulation

Cardano has seen a significant increase in large wallet holders over the past few months. On-chain analytics firm Santiment reported that the count of Cardano whales, defined as wallets holding over 10 million ADA, has reached a four-month high. This particular cohort represents "big-money hands" entering the network. The supply distribution metric specifically tracks the number of addresses within defined coin balance groups. The 10 million ADA threshold translates to approximately $2.4 million at current exchange rates. Santiment’s data shows a 5.2% increase in these large holders over nine weeks, reaching a total of 424 addresses. This marks the highest number of ADA whales since December 6th. An increase in whale presence is generally considered a bullish signal for a cryptocurrency. Despite this inflow, the analytics firm advises keeping an eye on the supply distribution metric due to the potential for quick reversals. A notable plunge in this metric occurred at the end of January, coinciding with a market crash. Meanwhile, Dogecoin has also seen large wallet activity, with whales accumulating 500 million tokens last week. Cardano's price is currently trading around $0.24, experiencing a recent decline.
