With the new year, the crypto money market has come to life, albeit a little. Binance whales are chasing 5 altcoins, including Cardano (ADA). According to market intelligence platform Santiment, ADA has experienced a surge due to whales.
Binance whales are concentrating on these altcoins!
Whale-watching platform WhaleStats closely monitors whale activity in Cardano (ADA) and XRP (XRP). According to WhaleStats, ADA and XRP have returned to the top 10 in terms of trading volume among the 500 largest Binance whales in the past 24 hours. However, YooShi (YOOSHI), Zilliqa (ZIL), and PancakeSwap (CAKE) also made their way into the whales’ list.

Addresses holding between 1 million and 100 million ADA have added 217.2 million ADA to kick off 2023, according to on-chain analytics platform Santiment. By the way, the same situation is observed for XRP. Because whales, which have 1 million to 10 million XRP in the last six months, have increased their assets by 25%. Thus, they have increased their total XRP holdings to 4.09 billion XRP. This degree of accumulation is typical of market bottoms, Santiment says.

As you follow on Kriptokoin.com, 2022 has been a difficult year for the crypto market due to the sharply falling prices. Evaluating traders’ profit or loss, the 30-day MVRV for XRP shows that short-term traders are currently at a loss. Therefore, it is possible for traders to hesitate to sell their cryptocurrencies at a loss. Therefore, this is likely to lead to a rise in the price of XRP.

ADA has been bearish and has been setting new lows since mid-November. Specifically, ADA tested the 200-day MA in mid-December. However, he did not break it.
