According to recent data from Into The Block, a significant portion of Cardano [ADA] holders were currently experiencing losses. The number of holders incurring losses far exceeded those who were making profits or had broken even.

Upon examining the data, it became apparent that the holders who acquired ADA at an average price of $0.39 faced the highest loss. This group, comprising about 482,000 addresses, collectively held approximately 8.9 billion ADA. 

Conversely, a larger number of addresses purchased ADA at an average price of $2.14, totaling around 690,000 addresses.

On the other hand, approximately 435,000 addresses were profitable, accounting for roughly 9.81% of the total addresses. A smaller subset of around 27,000 addresses, representing less than 1% of the total, have managed to break even.

However, a clear decline has since become apparent. As of this writing, the count of active addresses dwindled to approximately 175,000. This decline signified a reduction in the number of addresses engaging in activity on the blockchain.
