This surging interest could be attributed to Cardano’s increasing efforts toward the network’s development.

In a tweet posted by CardanoDaily on 8 December, it was stated that the number of contributions being made on the platform’s GitHub had grown. Cardano outperformed many other cryptocurrencies in this category.

 

Another indicator of Cardano’s performance would be its DEX activity. Miniswap, a popular DEX on Cardano, observed a large uptick in terms of volume last week, spiking by 18.61%, according to data provided by DappRadar. The number of transactions on the DEX also grew by 3.15% in the last 24 hours.

The growing activity on Cardano’s DEXes impacted its TVL as well. From the image below, it can be observed that Cardano’s TVL increased massively after 21 November. At the time of writing, the total value locked by Cardano was $60.62 million after rising by 2.31% in the last 24 hours.

However, the fees collected by Cardano declined by 30% in the past month, according to Token Terminal.

Moving on to NFTs: Cardano’s NFT volume increased by 26% in the last 24 hours. However, the number of NFTs sold by Cardano dwindled. According to opencnft, the number of NFTs sold on the Cardano network reduced by 12.51%.

This decline in interest affected Cardano‘s NFTs and impacted Cardano’s on-chain activity as well. Its volume fell by a huge margin over the last week. At press time, Cardano’s volume had fallen from 224 million to 142 million in the last seven days.

However, the Binance funding rate for Cardano remained high. Thus, suggesting a bullish outlook for Cardano in the future.
