Large Cardano Holders Gobble Up $138,000,000 Worth of ADA in Just Eight Days: Analytics Firm Santiment

New data from a prominent crypto analytics firm is revealing the extent to which Cardano whales and sharks have been feasting on ADA over an eight-day period.

According to Santiment, supersized Cardano holders have gobbled up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of the smart contract platform’s native asset in a little over a week.

“Cardano shark and whale addresses have accumulated a combined $138 million in ADA in eight days after the mid-June dump around the local price top. This is only a mild accumulation for now, but could get interesting if this trend continues throughout August.”

The data also shows that addresses holding 10,000 to 10 million ADA have added a combined 0.46% of the Ethereum (ETH) challenger’s total supply from July 27th to August 5th.

Looking at Bitcoin, Santiment notes how social media mentions of two sarcastic keyword have marked the bottom for BTC this month.

“During the crypto slide in 2022, the crowd has been calling for moon and lambo in a sarcastic fashion whenever prices drop again. However, the true irony is that spikes in these words are actually often marking moments when BTC is about to rise.”

The analytics company adds that privacy-focused altcoin Monero (XMR) is defying the crypto bear market by rallying over 40% since June.

“Monero has been an under the radar asset that has steadily been bouncing, up +41% since mid-June. There is a massive sentiment spike toward the 28th-ranked asset currently, which is the highest since May 2021.”
