Cardano Faces Growth Challenges as User Base Remains Flat
Cardano is struggling to grow its user base amidst increasing competition from new blockchain platforms like Solana and Base.
According to IntoTheBlock, the number of addresses holding ADA has remained steady at about 4.45 million for over a year, indicating stagnant growth.
Despite significant price fluctuations, Cardano’s user base has shown resilience, with consistent address growth since mid-2021. However, recent trends show a shift of interest towards newer competitors, making it difficult for Cardano to attract new users.
The network continues to handle around $7.2 billion in daily transactions, suggesting robust activity despite these challenges. Cardano’s Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio is low at 2.62, which could imply that ADA is undervalued relative to its usage.
The percentage of ADA held by long-term investors is also strong, with 40% of the total supply in their hands, signaling ongoing confidence in the platform’s potential. Currently, ADA is priced at $0.336, holding a market cap of $12.07 billion.
