Fantom (FTM) investors have endured a brutal week, witnessing their holdings <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">shrink by over 20%</a> in just seven days. The latest blow came within the past 24 hours, with a nearly 10% plunge leaving the token hovering around $0.37. 
This stark price decline stands in stark contrast to the encouraging surge in Fantom’s network activity, raising questions about what’s driving the disconnect. 
While increased transactions and user engagement are typically seen as positive indicators for a blockchain project, Fantom’s price remains stubbornly bearish.

This suggests that external factors, potentially broader market sentiment or negative news surrounding the project, are playing a more significant role in shaping the token’s value. 
Investors are now left grappling with the uncertainty of whether Fantom’s robust network activity will be enough to overcome these headwinds and paint its chart green again.

Fantom (FTM) has faced a recent price slump, prompting closer investigation into investor behavior. Analysis reveals a contradictory picture. 
While FTM tokens held by whales and large transactions exceeding $100k have both seen a decline, suggesting potential long-term support, a different story unfolds regarding exchange activity.

Supply on exchanges has steadily risen since December 23rd, indicating increased selling pressure and a likely contributor to the current price dip. 
Meanwhile, FTM held outside of exchanges has dwindled, hinting at potential accumulation by long-term investors. 
This divergent picture suggests a temporary imbalance between selling and buying forces, pushing FTM lower in the short term.

As the token faced a decline in value, Fantom Insider took to Twitter to unveil a notable accomplishment for Fantom in 2023. 
The tweet highlighted that, despite the token’s temporary downturn, FTM had secured an impressive position, ranking third in terms of unique addresses among Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains for the year. 
This disclosure positioned Fantom closely behind established entities like Polygon and Binance Chain, signaling a noteworthy achievement for the platform in expanding its user base and ecosystem engagement throughout the course of 2023.
