According to Santiment, mega-buyups like this are often historically accompanied by periods of intense price surges. This according to the data service provider might gain traction with Cardano’s growing whale count. Should this happen, it may mark another unique milestone for the digital currency as well as the memecoin Shiba Inu. the analytics platform said in a tweet. The analytics platform said in a tweet;

Cardano remains one of the most vibrant smart contract protocols in the crypto ecosystem today. With a series of new products launched thus far this year, the attractiveness of its native token, ADA has increased remarkably.
From the launch of the Sidechain Toolkit to the emergence of its over-collateralized stablecoin DJED, Cardano is now primed to see more massive accumulation that may transcend its whale activities.
The bullish position on Shiba Inu Whales
Santiment also believes Shiba Inu is becoming a favorite amongst the whales or big money spenders. The Santiment position was also backed by Whale Stats which noted earlier that the memecoin ranks among the top three Ethereum-based digital currencies that are being acquired by whales on the network.
This on-chain positioning of the Shiba Inu protocol is being backed by its fundamentals which expands toward the broader and growing use cases of the memecoin. From the plans to launch its layer-2 protocol Shibarium anytime from now, to the broadening of the retail outlets where the token is accepted as payments, the influence of Shiba Inu is growing rapidly.
The Shibarium anticipation has even notably pushed Shiba Inu to a new milestone showcased in the more than 1.3 million active addresses now linked to it.
Whale actions have the potential of shifting the prices of cryptocurrencies, especially for those with extreme volatilities. Sustenance of the ongoing whale action, coupled with its steadily growing burn rate are factors that are good enough to stir the growth of the asset in the coming weeks.
Per our data, Shiba Inu is up by 0.59% to $0.00001418 atop 21.74% over the past week. Cardano is also experiencing a similar but slightly lesser uptrend. The coin is up by 2.69% over the past 24 hours, and by 4.77% in the trailing 7-day period to $0.3998.
