Cardano has had a difficult journey in 2022. Despite showcasing strong development fundamentals, ADA’s price failed to reciprocate the same. This has been one of the reasons why ADA didn’t see a massive demand from investors in the recent rally.

At press time, Cardano was up by more than 13% within a week and 25% in ten days as it surpassed the $0.5 mark on CoinMarketCap.
Meanwhile, long-term investors and bullish traders seem to have returned to this emerging network. Look at the average funding rates story narrated below.
