Interestingly, this spike in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/volume.html">volume</a> coincided with a massive decline in ADA’s price, as the asset plummeted 17.9% to a low of $0.3789 over the six days leading to April 21.</p><p>This price downturn also marked a significant drop in the cumulative balance of wallets holding 100,000 to 10 million ADA.
