The crypto markets have rebounded strongly in 2023 and altcoins have had a great year. Cardano’s native cryptocurrency ADA, which has risen by more than 60% in the past year, is currently trading at $0.399 and has a market cap $13.8 billion.
The recent price decline in Cardano is due to a strong increase in whale numbers. The whale transactions of $100K+ have reached a multi-week peak. Santiment, an on-chain data provider, reported the following:
