Cardano (ADA) has recently seen a notable increase in its market capitalization. Blockchain analysis company Santiment reported a 9% increase in ADA’s market cap over the past day, which adds to a rise of over 20% over the past two weeks.
This surge in valuation growth aligns with increased activity on the Cardano network, especially among large-scale holders, commonly known as “whales.”
