Cardano weathered the storm of a tumultuous April, marked by market turbulence and regulatory challenges, and emerged with a glimmer of growth. Despite the obstacles, the blockchain platform\u2019s native cryptocurrency, ADA, managed to hold its ground and even make some notable gains along the way.<\/p>\n
The recently released monthly report for April by Cardano has shed light on some intriguing developments regarding the network\u2019s activity. The update offers insights into various aspects of Cardano\u2019s performance during the month of April, presenting a comprehensive overview of the platform\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what\u2019s up with Cardano:<\/p>\n
Cardano\u2019s latest monthly report for April indicates that the network experienced a healthy uptick in transaction activity, with a 2.49% increase to 65.6 million transactions and a 1.19% growth in the number of wallets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The report<\/a> reveals that simple transactions made up the majority, accounting for 49% of total transactions, while smart contract transactions grew by 30% and metadata made up the rest. The report suggests that Cardano\u2019s increasing utility is driving significant growth.<\/p>\n #Cardano<\/a> On-chain Stats <\/p>\n Let\u2019s keep growing #CardanoCommunity<\/a>! pic.twitter.com\/6Ct5iGW67k<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Cardano Foundation (@Cardano_CF) May 1, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n However, despite the positive network activity, ADA\u2019s price has seen a decline in the past 24 hours, trading at $0.3875, a drop of 0.34%. The cryptocurrency\u2019s bearish performance has continued, with a further drop of 2.43% in the past seven days.\u00a0<\/p>\n It remains to be seen how Cardano\u2019s growth in network activity will affect ADA\u2019s price in the long term.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, aside from the network activity growth, Cardano\u2019s monthly report also highlighted ADA\u2019s impressive performance in the first two weeks of April, with a 23% price gain. However, the cryptocurrency then experienced a significant decline, losing almost all of the gains it had made.<\/p>\n\n Despite this, Cardano\u2019s total value locked<\/a> (TVL) experienced a healthy increase, growing from a low of $138.61 million at the beginning of April to a high of $171.3 million. The TVL did experience a dip in the latter half of the month, settling at $152.90 million, but remained above its April low. Its current TVL is at $149.72 million.<\/p>\n\n Investors should keep an eye on the potential for an extended downside if the support level proves weak. An unstable support level could lead to a retest of the mid-term support range of $0.35-$0.36. <\/p>\n At the time of writing, ADA\u2019s RSI had slipped below the mid-level, and the MFI showed signs of outflows, indicating potential further declines in the short term.<\/p>\n -Featured image PrimeStone<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/p>\n Cardano weathered the storm of a tumultuous April, marked by market turbulence and regulatory challenges, and emerged with a glimmer of growth.
