Cardano ADA price drops as whale activity and selling draw focus
Image: CryptoPotatoCardano's ADA traded lower in the reported periods. One report said ADA fell over 8% in 24 hours and sat below $0.255. Another said ADA traded near $0.2515 on October 8, down about 1.5% from the prior close, and did not substantiate an 8% same-day decline. Both reports highlighted notable whale or large-holder activity. One cited 314 transactions worth at least $100,000 on October 5. The other cited about 90 million ADA sold since September 20, worth approximately $22.5 million. Open interest reports conflicted.
