Cardano has seen significant growth in NFT sales and total value locked, CryptoPotato reports. NFT sales on the Cardano network have exceeded $1.6 million in the past week, a 100% increase, according to CryptoSlam. Meanwhile, Solana's sales were about $48 million, down 7% during the same period. Cardano’s total value locked (TVL) has also been rising recently and has exceeded $400 million (according to data from DefiLlama), approaching the peak levels observed in mid-December 2023. As CryptoPotato recently reported, the metric has grown nearly 700% year-over-year, boosting Cardano’s ranking from 34th to 13th. Currently, Solana’s total value locked is around $2 billion, but that number is well below its all-time high of around $10 billion set in November 2021. Cardano’s ADA has been one of the best-performing altcoins of late, with a price increase of 25% in two weeks (according to data from CoinGecko). By comparison, Solana (SOL) is up 14% over the same period, while Ripple’s XRP is up 11%.
