With the newly created pools, the live stake therefore, has risen to a whopping $1.5 billion worth of ADA with the overall amount of staked ADA now surpassing 73% of Cardano's native coin in circulation.
The aforementioned pools allow users to stake their ADA with those pools in order to earn awards in the same coin based on the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm.
According to a recent tweet from @cardano_whale, last weekend, the Cardano network’s total value locked, including staking, has witnessed the most significant one-month increase.
Across all DeFi protocols on the Cardano network, the total value locked has increased by $10 million while the aggregated TVL of the Cardano network amounts to $277 million, according to data from DeFi Llama.
At the time of writing, Cardano is trading at $0.954826, which is an increase of 18.9% compared to seven days before, when its price was $0.79, according to data from CoinGecko.
Cardano (ADA) is currently the eighth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, which at press time amounts to $30 billion.
