Cardano’s On-Chain Activity Low Despite $18.8 Billion Market Cap

Lark Davis argues that despite suggestions of Cardano's demise, on-chain activity is flat. Cardano (ADA) trades at $0.51, down 8.8% in 24 hours, with an $18.8 billion market cap.

Key Observations

  • On-chain user activity and DEX volume are low.
  • Development updates are limited, with weak daily revenue and minimal stablecoin presence.
  • Davis humorously comments on founder Charles Hoskinson while noting weak metrics.

Community Impact

  • Davis emphasizes that community strength and brand can influence prices, comparing ADA to XRP.
  • Old buyers may return, impacting token value more than network use.

Technical Analysis

  • Analyst highlights ADA price action; support tested at $0.53 after reaching $0.60.
  • Potential for a rise to $0.62-$0.65 if $0.60 resistance is broken, implying over 16% gain.
  • 348 million ADA accumulated by whales during recent price dip below $0.50.
  • Risk of falling toward $0.52 if support fails.

The ongoing debate over usage does not negate Cardano's billions in market cap and loyal base.
