Cardano (ADA) was last changing hands in the low $0.39s and as such remains marooned well within this week’s $0.38-$0.40ish ranges.
Cardano’s lack of volatility is surprising given that crypto and broader financial markets have been substantially roiled by Wednesday’s Fed meeting on Friday’s US jobs report.

It seems that Cardano whales are driving a strengthening of on-chain activity.
Why might Whales be transacting in larger sums?
Unless you can look into the minds of each of the Cardano whales moving large sums across the blockchain, no one can know for sure.
But with Cardano still down around 87% down from its 2021 peaks, despite crypto markets broadly looking to be in the early stages of a new
