FTT is the largest token by dollar value and UNI is the most popular altcoin project. In addition, SHIB ranks third (after ETH and FTT) in the top 10 cryptocurrencies held by ETH whales.
Cardano (ADA) reaches record number of wallets
The latest data provided by Santiment shows that the number of Cardano addresses with balances between 10,000 and 1,000,000 ADA has increased by 15,000 since mid-December 2021.
