Cardano (ADA) recorded its heaviest whale activity in four months this week, as the count of transactions worth more than $100,000 climbed to 157 — the highest level since June 4 — according to Santiment's on-chain data. The figure marks the first return to that level in roughly four months, putting the current pace of large transfers back where it stood in early June.
Per the report, the Cardano price held near $0.25 while the large transfers accumulated. Whale transfer counts on their own do not indicate whether large holders were buying or selling; analysts typically read the metric as a gauge of how actively significant holders are moving funds on-chain, rather than as a directional signal by itself. Future readings of the same series will show whether activity holds at this multi-month high or eases back toward earlier.
Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain network, and ADA is its native token. Whale transactions — transfers valued above $100,000 — are a widely tracked on-chain metric used to observe large-holder activity across blockchain networks. Because transfers on a public blockchain are recorded on an open ledger, analytics platforms can count transactions above a given dollar threshold directly from chain data. Santiment, the analytics platform cited for this dataset, monitors such metrics for major digital assets.
