According to CryptoPotato, the recent cryptocurrency market correction has primarily impacted altcoin investors, with many experiencing losses. However, meme coin investors, such as those in Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), are comparatively better off, with fewer holders facing losses due to earlier price increases.

Despite a promising start to the year and last month's Bitcoin (BTC) halving, the cryptocurrency market has been undergoing a severe correction. The price of the primary cryptocurrency has fallen 10% over a week, dropping below the $60K mark. Other leading digital assets, including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Ripple (XRP), are also significantly in the red.

Market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock outlined the ten cryptocurrency projects with the most holders currently experiencing paper losses. Algorand (ALGO) investors topped the list, with 91% of investors being underwater. The Sandbox (SAND) and Arbitrum (ARB) followed, with over 80% of holders in the red. Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI) investors also faced losses of 60% and 52% respectively.

However, IntoTheBlock suggested that these assets could offer 'great opportunities' if they demonstrate strong fundamentals and signs of on-chain activity and growth.

Interestingly, the list does not include any meme coins. According to IntoTheBlock, only 18% of Dogecoin (DOGE) holders and almost 40% of Shiba Inu (SHIB) investors are currently experiencing paper losses. The majority of those who have invested in Pepe (PEPE) and Floki Inu (FLOKI) are also in the green. This is due to the substantial price increases many of these assets experienced in the months prior to the current correction. This is a stark contrast to September of the previous year when almost 90% of SHIB holders and 42% of DOGE investors were at a loss.

Cardano has a large circulating supply, with 45 billion ADA coins eventually entering the market. The sheer volume of available coins means that significant price movements require substantial market activity and demand. Without continuous, large-scale buying pressure, the price remains relatively stable.A significant portion of ADA is locked in staking, contributing to network security and earning rewards for holders. While this is beneficial for the ecosystem’s stability, it reduces the available supply for trading, thereby dampening price volatility. Investors who stake their ADA are often long-term holders, less likely to engage in frequent buying or selling, which keeps price movements minimal.Cardano faces stiff competition from other blockchain projects like Ethereum, Solana, and Binance Smart Chain. These competitors often have more aggressive marketing strategies, faster development cycles, and higher adoption rates, leading to greater investor excitement and price volatility. Cardano’s deliberate, long-term approach can sometimes be overshadowed in a market driven by quick gains and hype.The Cardano community is known for its strong belief in the project’s long-term vision. This community’s commitment to holding ADA rather than trading it frequently results in lower market activity. While this demonstrates confidence in Cardano’s future, it also contributes to the current low and steady price.
