Cardano (ADA) Price Soars as Whale Activity Surges
Cardano (ADA) has had a great day, rising more than 12% and reaching a high of $0.83.
This jump in price comes at a time when whale activity—big investors buying ADA—has spiked by 145% in just one month.
Whales are back in a big way, and their actions are pushing ADA’s price higher. Let’s discover more about this important news for Cardano.
Whale Activity Boosts ADA Price, Eyeing $1
In the last week, ADA has gained almost 54%, making it one of the top-performing altcoins. Investors are now keeping a close eye on ADA, hoping it could soon reach the significant price of $1. Crypto expert Ali Martinez even predicts that ADA could reach as high as $6 during this market cycle, following a pattern similar to the one seen during the 2020 bull run.

What’s behind this rise in ADA’s price? The main factor seems to be the sharp increase in whale activity. Wallets holding over $10 million in ADA have grown their holdings by 145.72% in just one month. This surge in whale buying is driving up ADA’s price, and as of November 18, whales hold $12.11 billion worth of ADA.
