This upward momentum saw Cardano break the $0.43 mark for the first time since July, fueled by significant whale transactions and heightened network activity.

The ADA network recorded 37,892 unique address transfers in a single day, marking a notable increase since its recent September 4 bottom.

Additionally, Cardano saw 697 transactions over $100,000, reflecting strong interest from large holders, or “whales,” who may be helping drive ADA’s momentum.

According to Santiment, this 25% rally suggests that retail FOMO (fear of missing out) may be on the horizon.

This is a welcome sight for the dedicated ADA community, which has been patiently awaiting a solid upward move for some time. As momentum builds, Cardano’s recent price action could pave the way for renewed interest from both retail and institutional investors.

Beyond price action, Cardano ranks fourth in notable development activity over the past 30 days, trailing only ICP, LINK, and HBAR.

This sustained developer interest, combined with recent network and whale activity, has energized the ADA community, which has long awaited a strong upward move. With the potential for increased retail interest, ADA’s recent price action could signal a new phase for the Cardano network.
