Cardano Whale Wallets Rise
Santiment data showed wallets holding at least one million ADA now control 25.11 billion ADA. This is the highest level since December 2017. Santiment added that these wallets hold 67.49 percent of total supply, the highest since July 2020. Large wallet accumulation continued even during market pressure.
The data also showed steady ADA movement between exchanges and long term wallets as holders adjusted positions across the network. Cardano whale activity remains closely tracked by market participants due to its effect on liquidity conditions. Large holders often influence available supply on exchanges, and this can change short term trading behavior.
The accumulation trend continues alongside steady network engagement across decentralized platforms. On-chain observers also monitored wallet distribution shifts as ADA moved between staking pools and private wallets over recent weeks. These movements often align with long term positioning strategies among major holders. On-chain metrics showed stable accumulation across wallets period.
TVL and USDCx Activity Grow
Meanwhile, Cardanians noted that Cardano’s total value locked increased from 388 million ADA in September to 532 million ADA. This represents 37% growth over the period. The rise came during a broader market slowdown, while decentralized finance usage continued across protocols. TVL measures assets locked in smart contracts and is used to track network activity levels.
Growth in this metric reflected increased participation in Cardano based applications. Developers and users continued engaging with DeFi platforms throughout the period. Cardanians also reported new growth in stablecoin activity on Cardano. Around seven million USDCx tokens were minted within a single day.
This pushed USDCx to 42.99 percent dominance across the network stablecoin market. Stablecoin supply changes often affect liquidity in trading pairs and decentralized finance pools. The report noted expectations of more activity in ADA and USDCx trading pairs as usage expands across applications. This growth supported stronger interaction between stablecoins and decentralized applications on Cardano.
