Key Cardano sharks have been steadily accumulating since June, according to the on-chain analytics firm. It notes that these addresses have taken their dip buying to a new level since the FTX implosion in early November.
Addresses holding 10,000 to 100,000 ADA have added $83 million worth of coins since Nov. 7, when the FTX's liquidity crunch came to light.
Not only are large Cardano addresses adding to their bags, but also the number of Cardano wallets has increased by more than 200,000 wallets. According to the latest information provided by the Cardano Foundation, the overall number of wallets has risen to 3.80 million. At the start of November, this figure was around 3.63 million.
As of press time, Cardano's ADA is trading up 3.05% at $0.26 and ranks as the ninth largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization. At its current price, ADA is down 91.62% from its all-time high of $3.10, thus providing a massive discount for sharks and whales to accumulate.
