Cardano Whale Wallets Expand ADA Holdings During Selloff

14-May-2026 Crypto Economy

Cardano wallets holding at least 1M ADA now control 25.09B tokens. According to Santiment, these large wallets now hold 67.47% of ADA’s existing supply, even as the asset’s market cap has fallen 71% over the past nine months.

The data points to continued accumulation by Cardano’s “millionaire” tier of sharks and whales, a cohort Santiment said has been adding more supply since December 2023. The move affects ADA market watchers because large holders appear to be buying into weakness, rather than reducing exposure during the drawdown.

The next point to watch is whether that accumulation trend continues if ADA remains under pressure. Santiment framed the behavior as major stakeholders adding at discounted prices, but the signal remains a wallet-balance trend, not a confirmed forecast for price recovery.
