Cardano Holders Drowning: 43% Losses Despite Regulatory Win and DeFi Growth

Most <a href="https://usdaed.com/ada-usd/">Cardano</a> Holders Are Deeply Underwater

New data from the Cardano blockchain shows that most active wallets currently hold investments that have lost value, which is concerning for Cardano investors.

Data from Santiment shows that Cardano wallets active over the last year are currently down an average of 43% in value.

According to data from Santiment, the current very low Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) suggests this could be a good time to buy the asset, indicating a potential ‘opportunity’ zone.
