- Activity and transactions on the Cardano network remain high despite market uncertainty
- Blue chip NFTs failed to grow, however, tokens on Cardano’s network surged
Despite the volatility seen across the crypto-sector over the last few days, Cardano’s [ADA] network has seen consistency across its ecosystem.

A look at the NFT sector
Another indicator of the Cardano ecosystem’s health is the rising popularity of Cardano’s NFT space. In fact, Cardano’s NFT trading volume surpassed 7 million ADA over the last 30 days.
Despite rising NFT volume on the Cardano ecosystem, however, the top NFT collections recorded a decline in their floor prices. Blue chip collections such as Ape Society, Book.io, and Clay Nation registered a significant decline over the past month.
Earthnode was one of the few NFT collections that noted a surge in terms of floor price over this period. The Earthnode NFT collection and some other niche NFT collections on the Cardano network may have contributed the most to the NFT sector’s popularity in recent days.

Another reason for the rising activity on the Cardano network would be the popularity of tokens on the Cardano network. Unlike other networks, Cardano’s rising activity wasn’t solely driven by memecoins. Tokens related to AI, Telecoms, Cloud Services, and Lending all saw growth over the past month.
In fact, SNEK, one of the most popular memecoins on the Cardano network, fell in price and performed poorly compared to other tokens.
WMT gained the most over the past month and witnessed a 72.67% surge in price. WMT (World Mobile Token) is the native cryptocurrency of the World Mobile network. It serves as a utility token facilitating transactions and interactions within the network.
