Cardano (ADA) surged more than 25% over the past week following a brutal meltdown, last year. On-chain analytics platform Santiment suggested the recent rally is due to an upswing in trading volumes as well as new address holders.
Cryptocurrencies have seemed to have fired up since the onset of the new year. However, the digital assets sector continues to remain at the mercy of macroeconomic headwinds which is unlikely to stabilize any time soon. After dealing a significant financial blow in 2022, the crypto space hopes for a strong rebound this year as new regulations come into force, making it more secure. In addition, experts also hope for a strong uptick in crypto sub-ecosystems such as non-fungible tokens (NFT) and metaverse.
Bitcoin (BTC) made a sharp rebound claiming $17,000 following a US job report which came in rosier-than-expected for December easing rate hike worries among investors. Ethereum (ETH) along with major cryptocurrencies witnessed a strong correction. Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) increased significantly in the last seven days.
