Santiment, an on-chain analytics firm, claimed over the weekend that significant whale transaction counts have begun to surface on the ADA network, causing ADA prices to surge.
The ADA price rose as much as 15% in the recent crypto market rally on June 6, before reversing course to trade at $0.587.
Grayscale, the asset manager, has boosted its exposure to Cardano, according to Dan Gambardello, the creator of crypto capital venture Dan Gambardello.

Grayscale Investments launched the Grayscale Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund (“GSCPxE” or the “Fund”) in late March, marking the company's 18th investment product and third diversified fund offering.
The fund gave investors access to ventures like Solana, Polygon, and Avalanche, among others.
According to Gambardello, ADA had the largest weighting in the fund at the time, with 24.63 percent, but that figure has already grown to 32.33 percent.
