Despite Cardano's ADA token losing over 70% in value over the past year and struggling to break above $0.25, large holders (whales) have increased their holdings to a multi-year high of 25.11 billion ADA, controlling 67.5% of the total supply. This accumulation signals confidence from major investors during a weak price period but does not guarantee a price recovery. Meanwhile, Cardano's DeFi activity remains low, with total value locked dropping from $721 million in 2024 to below $125 million, raising concerns about its growth potential. Analysts suggest ADA must hold stronger support levels before any credible bullish recovery can occur.
