“It’s no secret that Bitcoin’s whales dumped as crypto markets retraced in 2022. However, instead of cashing in fiat, 2021 profits have been sitting in stablecoin accounts. As illustrated, USDT, USDC, DAI and BUSD have exploded with new large addresses.”
Santiment shows that large Tether (USDT), addresses have increased by 53% in a single year while deep-pocketed Dai, USD Coin (USDC), and Binance USD addresses (BUSD) has increased 271%, 9266%, and 1,689% respectively over the same time period.
Santiment, Turning to Cardano says After dumping the digital asset late last yea, the smart contract protocol whales have gained over $60 million in ADA.
“Cardano is enjoying a mini-surge at this hour, and addresses holding between one million to 100 million ADA may be a main validator to watch for a price breakout. After dumping 568.4 million coins the final two months of 2022, they have added back 217.2 million ADA to start 2023.”
Cardano trades at $0.277 as of the writing.
