  • ADA has declined to the $0.37 price range.
  • The ADA unrealized loss has grown in the last few weeks.

In recent months, Cardano [ADA] has experienced a challenging period in terms of its price performance. As the price of ADA has declined, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of addresses holding the asset at a loss.

This trend indicates that many investors who purchased Cardano at higher prices are now facing negative returns on their investments.
