Large ADA holders now control 67% of the supply, the highest level since July 2020, signaling strong accumulation by whales and confidence in the network’s long-term outlook.

Input Output submitted nine funding proposals for the 2026 voting cycle, featuring the Leios consensus upgrade for throughput over 1,000 TPS and the Pogun system to enable Bitcoin-based DeFi, outlining a concrete roadmap to boost Cardano’s scalability and interoperability.

Cardano’s new stablecoin, USDCx, reached 14.6 million tokens in circulation just weeks after launch, highlighting rising demand for stablecoin applications on the network.

Cardano’s total value locked has dropped about 80% from its December 2024 peak to $137 million as of May 2026. Daily DEX volume is below $2 million, and 24-hour chain fees are around $1,767, indicating weak DeFi activity.

Weekly crypto code commits across blockchain projects, including Cardano, have declined by about 75% since early 2025, and active developers are down 56%, pointing to a continued loss of development talent.

ADA was removed from the CoinDesk 5 index during the January 2026 rebalance, reflecting its decreased market prominence compared to other leading assets.
