Rick McCracken DIGI, a Cardano SPO, has shared the latest Cardano statistics as 2023 begins. He also provides a similar tweet, which he shared at the start of 2022, and no doubt the growth was evident.

According to the details given, Cardano accounts presently number 3.8 million, out of which 1.27 million are staked addresses. At the heart of the Cardano network are stake pool operators (SPOs). Presently, the number of pools has surpassed 3,000 and stands at 3,186.

According to staking rewards, Cardano ranks as the second largest staking network after Ethereum, with a staking market cap of $6.42 billion. DIGI shares that 25.14 billion ADA is the staked amount, which represents a staking participation of 73.51%.

Cardano's DeFi TVL is currently at $50.43 million, per DefiLlama data. With the inclusion of staking as calculated by DefiLlama, this figure is $66.36 million.

Though it is a late entrant into the DeFi space, there is still much room for Cardano to grow, as it currently ranks as the 27th largest DeFi chain.
