Can Cardano Price Reach $1 As Whales Gobble 130 Million ADA?
Cardano price has taken a hit in recent days but analysts are confident of a fresh rally for the asset. A massive whale accumulation by Cardano (ADA) whales is fuelling speculation for a price spike amid rising network activity.
Whales Can Send Cardano Price Across The $1 Mark
According to an X post by on-chain analyst Ali Martinez, Cardano whales have gobbled up 130 million ADA in the last three days. The total value of ADA accumulated by the whales stands at $97.5 million with retail traders contributing their fair share.
Pundits say the recent accumulation spree is an indicator for a potential rally for Cardano price. There is significant optimism that ADA can cross the $1 mark after prices fell to $0.70.
Prior to the decline to $0.70, Cardano’s price traded as high as $1.13 over a 30-day period. Now, rising whale activity is stoking belief for ADA to reclaim its previous highs but several hurdles stand in the way.
For starters, the network’s unique wallets trading (UWT) indicator has reached all-time lows. However, analysts say the dip in unique wallets is “the calm before the storm” before the start of a rally.
“Usually when the number of UWT dips below 1.5k per day, it doesn’t take long until something happens,” said one analyst.
ADA’s Ecosystem Continues To Buzz Despite Price Decline.
At the moment, ADA price is floating around the $0.7 mark but the ecosystem is alive with activity. Still reeling from the highs of its inclusion in the Crypto Strategic Reserve, institutional interest is climbing.
Furthermore, speculation around ADA for X payments has triggered theories that the asset is headed to $10. Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard has confirmed that the network is working with NASA on satellite data and provenance capabilities.
Daily trading volumes for ADA stands at $777 million, down by 22.7% over the last. Despite the decline in volumes, analysts say Cardano is on course to flip Solana if it attracts more decentralized applications.

21Shares has announced that it is bringing down the curtain on its Bitcoin and Ethereum futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The issuer is eyeing March 28 as a tentative date for the liquidation of both ETFs amid a wave of new filings in the US.
21Shares Set To Liquidate Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs
According to an announcement, crypto ETF issuer 21Shares has disclosed plans to ditch its Bitcoin and Ethereum futures ETFs. Per the announcement, the affected ETFs are the ARK 21Shares Active Bitcoin Ethereum Strategy ETF and the ARK 21Shares Active On-Chain Bitcoin Strategy ETF.
While the press release did not give clear reasons for the liquidations, it hinged its decision on a periodic review of its offerings. The statement cited a need to align existing product lineups with market dynamics and clients’ needs in a changing landscape.
However, pundits say the liquidations are a result of jarring ETF outflows in recent months.
Shareholders can sell their holdings up until March 27, a date touted as the last trading day for both ETFs. 21Shares plans to put the final nail in the coffin for both ETFs on March 28, liquidating all remaining assets.
“Shareholders who continue to hold shares of a Fund on the Fund’s Liquidation Date will receive a liquidating distribution with a value equal to their proportionate ownership interest in the Fund,” read the press release.
Increased ETF Activity In The Cryptoverse
Despite the wave of outflows, the ETF space is sizzling with frenetic activity. Buoyed by impressive returns, 21Shares slashed fees to 0.49% for its Bitcoin Ethereum Core ETPs.
Bitwise has rolled out its OWNB ETF to track companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Bitcoin ETF investors continue to put their faith in offerings in the face of price amid Rex Shares launching the first Bitcoin Corporate Bond Convertible ETF
Outside of Bitcoin, several issuers have filed for XRP, HBAR, DOGE, and AVAX ETFs with the US SEC. For Ethereum investors, CBOE has applied to the SEC to approve staking in Fidelity’s ETH ETF.

The price of Ethereum (ETH) has fluctuated in 2025, causing some traders and investors to worry about its future. The price has fallen by almost half after hitting a Year-to-Date (YTD) $3,635 in January.
Many people wonder if Ethereum price will ever breach the $4,000 resistance and a new high of around $5,000. Notably, a big focus is on the upcoming Pectra upgrade and whether it can trigger an increase in the price of Ethereum.
Ethereum Price and Rocky Start to 2025
So far, 2025 has been rough for Ethereum. At the end of January, Ethereum was trading at $3,267.90 per an earlier ETH price analysis as the forecast for January’s push to $4,000 failed. Unfortunately, it dropped to around $1,910.67 by mid-March. This big drop in just a few weeks has left several large investors selling off, as seen in Ethereum ETF outflows.
While Ethereum still has high growth potential for the future, the short-term price movement has been unpredictable. The delay in key upgrades, like the Pectra update, has made things harder for Ethereum.
As of press time, CoinMarketCap data shows that Ethereum’s price was trading at $1,931.64 and has seen an over 1% decline in the last 24 hours. Still, ETH remains the second largest cryptocurrency globally, with a Market capitalization of $233.12 billion.
With the price drawdowns conditional, the question hinges on what its prospects for growth are in the short term.
Impact of Pectra Upgrade on Ethereum
As Vitalik Buterin announced, the Pectra upgrade is meant to make Ethereum faster and more efficient. It combines two key updates, Prague and Electra, designed to improve Ethereum’s performance, especially regarding scalability and staking.
The mainnet launch for Pectra was expected to happen in early April, but the circumstances surrounding its testing are uncertain. This is because the Sepolia and Holesky testnets encountered configuration issues.
This testnet hiccup fueled the latest Ethereum price drawdown as community sentiments dropped. However, ETH developers have stepped up to create a fix. They are set to launch the “Hoodi” testnet by Monday, March 17, which will help redirect the testing of key Pectra upgrade features.
If all goes well, the mainnet launch could take place between April and May 2025. Many Ethereum proponents believe the success of Pectra might serve as a primary catalyst for the Ethereum price boom to $5,000.
Ethereum ETF and Potential Impact on Price
Ethereum ETFs could also boost the ETH price outlook. While Bitcoin ETFs have gained popularity, Ethereum ETFs are lagging behind in terms of sustained capital flow.
Data from SoSoValue shows that Ethereum ETFs lost over $143 million in assets this week. This is a large outflow compared to last week when they recorded $119 million in outflows.
Although the broader market sentiment is impacting this shift, when the stock market gains revival, the ETF market and by extension Ethereum price may gain momentum.
