On-chain data shows the Cardano sharks and whales have quietly been accumulating the asset even as the price has gone through a drawdown. Cardano Sharks & Whales Have Increased Supply Share By 1.6% In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the supply of the Cardano sharks and whales. The indicator of interest here is the “Supply Distribution,” which tells us about the amount of the ADA circulating supply that’s held by a given wallet group. Related Reading: Bitcoin Yet To See Meaningful Capital Return, Glassnode Says Addresses or investors are divided into these cohorts based on the number of tokens that they are carrying in their balance. The 1 to 10 coins cohort, for instance, includes the wallets owning between 1 and 10 ADA. In the context of the current topic, the range of interest is the 100,000 to 100 million coins one. At the current exchange rate, its lower end converts to $30,400 and upper one to $30.4 million. Given the scale involved, the range would cover some of the key investors of the market holding a notable amount. Holders of this kind are popularly called the sharks and whales. Moves from these traders can sometimes have an effect on the market, so they can be worth keeping an eye on. If nothing else, the behavior of these groups can be revealing about the sentiment among the influential entities. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the Supply Distribution of the Cardano sharks and whales over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Cardano sharks and whales have seen their Supply Distribution rise over the last few months, indicating that the large investors have been accumulating. More specifically, the sharks and whales have added 819.4 million tokens (currently worth $248 million) to their wallets over the last six months. This has taken their supply share of the cryptocurrency from 66.84% to 68.44%. Interestingly, while the sharks and whales have expanded their supply during this window, the asset’s price has witnessed a significant drawdown instead. The timing could suggest that the key investors have been looking at the price decline as an opportunity to enter at lower levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears Death Cross That Preceded Final Bear Market Legs From the chart, it’s visible that the accumulation trend has become particularly steep this month. It now remains to be seen whether this buying will pay off for the Cardano sharks and whales or if the asset will go lower still.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN) could be one of the biggest corporate beneficiaries of the United States’ first comprehensive crypto legislation, the GENIUS Act, which was signed into law in July 2025 and established a federal framework for stablecoin issuance and oversight. Coinbase Stablecoin Revenue Jumps 48% According to Bloomberg analysts Paul Gulberg and Samuel Radowitz, the new framework may significantly strengthen Coinbase’s fast-growing stablecoin business, particularly if adoption of dollar-backed tokens expands into mainstream payments. Related Reading: Bitcoin May Be In A Price Slump—But Adoption Is In A Bull Market In 2025, Coinbase generated an estimated $1.35 billion in revenue tied to stablecoins, a 48% increase from $911 million in 2024. That segment represented 19% of the company’s total annual revenue, underscoring how important stablecoins have become to the exchange’s overall business model. Unlike trading fees, which tend to rise and fall sharply alongside crypto market volatility, stablecoin-related income is derived from interest earned on reserves backing Circle’s USDC. Those reserves are primarily invested in US Treasuries and other low-risk instruments, producing yield. Coinbase receives a significant share of that interest income, making the business more predictable and generally higher margin than transaction-based revenue. The importance of this revenue stream became particularly evident in late 2025. During a period when Bitcoin (BTC) and broader crypto prices declined sharply, and Coinbase’s fourth-quarter revenue dropped 20%, income generated from stablecoins remained comparatively stable. Paul Gulberg and Samuel Radowitz argue that this consistency could become even more meaningful if regulatory clarity accelerates broader USDC adoption. GENIUS Act Expected To Accelerate USDC Growth The GENIUS Act is central to that outlook. By providing a national regulatory structure for stablecoin issuers, the legislation could remove barriers that have limited the use of USDC in areas such as cross-border payments and merchant settlements. If businesses and financial institutions adopt stablecoins more widely for real-world transactions, the overall supply of USDC could expand substantially. An increase in USDC circulation would require additional reserves to back those tokens, which in turn would generate more interest income from the underlying Treasury holdings. Because Coinbase shares in that yield, greater adoption directly translates into higher potential revenue. Bloomberg analysts estimate that under favorable conditions, Coinbase’s USDC-related revenue could grow by two to seven times its current level. Related Reading: Expert Forecasts $5 Trillions Pouring Into Crypto Post CLARITY Act Passage Yet, reaching the upper end of that projection depends on whether Coinbase can continue offering rewards to customers who hold USDC. If customer reward mechanisms remain in place, analysts believe USDC adoption could accelerate more rapidly. However, even if those programmes are limited or scaled back in the ongoing negotiations on the CLARITY Act, the clearer regulatory environment created by the GENIUS Act is still expected to support meaningful growth in stablecoin usage. At the time of writing, the exchange’s stock, trading under the ticker name COIN, surged towards $185 during Wednesday’s trading session, marking a 22% increase in the 24-hour time frame.

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has highlighted how accumulation from the large Bitcoin entities has remained relatively weak recently. Bitcoin Accumulation Trend Score Has Been Struggling To Break 0.5 In a new post on X, Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Accumulation Trend Score for Bitcoin. This on-chain indicator tracks whether BTCinvestors are accumulating or distributing right now. The metric calculates its value by looking at the balance changes happening in the wallets of the investors. Additionally, it also accounts for the size of the wallets themselves. This second weighting factor means that larger entities have a stronger influence on the indicator. Related Reading: Bitcoin Nears Death Cross That Preceded Final Bear Market Legs When the value of the Accumulation Trend Score is greater than 0.5, it means large investors (or a large number of small entities) are accumulating. The closer the metric is to 1, the stronger this behavior is. On the other hand, the indicator being under 0.5 implies that distribution is the dominant behavior on the network. The extreme point on this side of the scale lies at 0. Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows how the Bitcoin Accumulation Trend Score has changed over the course of the cycle: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin price crash in November saw the Accumulation Trend Score take on a dark purple color. Here, a light yellow shade on the indicator reflects a value close to zero, while a dark purple one to a value near 1. Thus, it would appear that the market reacted with a near-perfect accumulation behavior to the November price lows. While December saw continued accumulation, a shift occurred in January; the price recovery rally was met with distribution as the Accumulation Trend Score turned orange-yellow. The cryptocurrency’s price has plummeted since the onset of this selling pressure. The price crash has been met with some accumulation, but from the chart, it’s visible that the indicator’s color has still only been red. “The Accumulation Trend Score has struggled to push above 0.5 since early February,” noted the analytics firm. While the current value suggests aggressive distribution is no longer happening, it’s not necessarily a sign of a return of demand for Bitcoin, either. As Glassnode explained, the trend reflects “persistently weak accumulation, particularly among larger entities, signalling that meaningful capital has yet to step back in.” It now remains to be seen how long the current neutral market behavior will continue and which way the next shift will lean.
