ADA Slumps to Multi-Year Low Amid Whale Sell-Off and Crypto Bear Market

Cardano's ADA token has hit a multi-year low of $0.1665 after a significant sell-off by whales and a broader crypto bear market environment.

The selling pressure is compounded by on-chain analytics firm Santiment, which flagged a sharp spike in Cardano's Age Consumed metric and a simultaneous flattening of Mean Dollar Invested Age as ADA printed a low near $0.1485, signals interpreted as long-dormant holders suddenly moving coins, consistent with capitulation or major redistribution rather than routine churn.

Large-holder cohorts have been repeatedly offloading tokens, with wallets holding 10-100 million ADA selling roughly 180 million tokens over just a few days, while wallets in the 1-10 million ADA range shed over 560 million tokens in a prior four-day window.
