Must read

  • ADA has declined to the $0.37 price range.
  • The ADA unrealized loss has grown in the last few weeks.

In recent months, Cardano [ADA] has experienced a challenging period in terms of its price performance. As the price of ADA has declined, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of addresses holding the asset at a loss.

This trend indicates that many investors who purchased Cardano at higher prices are now facing negative returns on their investments. 

Cardano at a loss

The analysis of the Global In/Out of the Money indicator for Cardano on IntoTheBlock provides insight into the current state of investor holdings.

The data shows that, as of now, 3.31 million addresses are “out of the money.”

This meant that the current price of Cardano was lower than the average cost at which these addresses purchased their ADA. 

The analysis of Cardano’s market conditions further reveals that approximately 74% of all ADA addresses are currently “out of the money.” It was a significant majority that underscored the widespread impact of the price decline.
