On Thursday (29 December 2022), crypto analytics startup Santiment, which provides tools that make “powerful OnChain, Social & Financial analysis accessible to anyone”, commented on the 2022 development activity of the major blockchains.

Cardano has led overall development activity for 2022 despite the bearish market conditions, according to a Santiment Feed insight shared in a tweet today.

Just like many other crypto assets, ADA, the native token of the popular smart contract platform, Cardano, has greatly underperformed this year despite the execution of the critical Vasil upgrade. Notably, data show that ADA is down 81.99% in the last 12 months and is currently trading for $0.2524 per coin, at the time of writing.

Santiment recently shared charts revealing a massive surge in ADA accumulation and exhaustion of sellers.

Cardano sharks seem to be splurging more money towards ADA at current discounted prices. According to on-chain and social metrics platform Santiment, ADA key shark addresses now hold 4 billion ADA after accumulating 331M more since the FTX implosion. Sharks for this particular cryptocurrency as addresses which hold 10,000-100,000 ADA.

In a recent interview, Shahaf Bar-Geffen, the CEO of FinTech startup COTI Group, the issuer of algorithmic stablecoin Djed (which is built on Cardano), talked about the upcoming launch of the eagerly anticipated project.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson threw a perceived subliminal jab at fellow Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin in a tweet yesterday after the latter offered his view on the search for a new Twitter boss.

Cardano shark addresses (holding 10K to 100K ADA) have been on an accumulation trend since June when the market witnessed the coldest touch of the Winter yet. Following an aggressive surge in momentum at the start of the FTX saga, these shark addresses currently hold a cumulative balance of 4 billion ADA, the largest in a year and a half.

Charles Hoskinson, Cardano’s co-founder and CEO of IOHK, has taken a swipe at Coinbase for leaving Cardano out in its “2023 Crypto Market Outlook” report to institutional clients.

Filecoin (FIL) and Cardano (ADA) are two of the most popular cryptocurrencies that have seen significant gains. However, a new player in the crypto space, Orbeon Protocol (ORBN), is starting to make waves in phase 3 of its presale and could be poised to see 60x returns. Filecoin (FIL) and Cardano (ADA)  are also set to rise over the next few years.

JPG Store, the largest NFT marketplace on the Cardano blockchain, has enabled a feature that will allow users to purchase Cardano NFTs using Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) through a collaboration with San Francisco-based NFT platform Winter. Winter allows users to sell NFTs through credit cards.

The founder of Cardano has made some notable comments, denoting his thoughts on the Ripple network and its native token, XRP. In a response tweet to being called out for distancing himself from the Ripple community, he set the record straight on his views about Ripple. 

Hoskinson reacts to CoinDesk’s negative 2023 prediction for Cardano. 

Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson has taken a swipe at crypto exchange Coinbase for its failure to mention the platform in its 2023 market outlook report. Notably, the report by Coinbase overviewed themes likely to dominate the crypto market in 2023 after an extended winter in 2022. 

The Cardano blockchain gears up to see the launch of one of its most anticipated stablecoin projects, Djed. Shahaf Bar-Geffen, the head of COTI Network, reiterated during an interview that the algorithm stablecoin would launch on the mainnet in January.

Cardano (ADA) had eventually given way to the bears which had then dragged it down below $.30 for the second time in two months.

Let’s assume that ADA hits $1 in the coming years. 

Cardano has been on the downside since ADA reached an all-time-high of $3.10 back in September 2021. As of writing, the 9th top crypto has dropped 5% in the last seven days. In comparison, major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum lost over 4.5%, and Bitcoin shed 2% in the same timeframe.

Charles Hoskinson appears to have made peace with the potential embarrassment and backlash from the XRP community should rumors of a Ripple settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission prove false, per a tweet from the Cardano founder today.
