The ongoing plunge in the overall crypto market fairly began back in July where the global crypto market cap initially fell to $2.5 trillion from $2.7 trillion earlier in May. However, despite this downturn recorded in July, Cardano (ADA), the 9th largest crypto by market cap appears to have defied this bearish trend. 
Particularly, according to the Cardano foundation, the blockchain&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Cardano_CF/status/1820384698641576146" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">stands out</a> in July for its notable increase in on-chain activity, despite broader market setbacks. The data provided by the Foundation reveals that the network is not only sustaining but also building momentum, a sign of resilience and<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/cardano/cardano-ethereum-120-million-ada/" target="_blank" rel="noopener "> growing user engagement</a>.

Regarding the network’s health, statistics revealed by the foundation show that Cardano saw a modest yet worthy increase in transactions to 94.6 million, up by 1.62% from the previous month.

This uptick is dissected into varied transaction types, showcasing a diverse usage of the blockchain. Among these, 37% were smart contracts, reflecting the network’s <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/cardano/cardano-whales-17-billion-ada/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">strong capabilities</a> beyond simple transactions, which accounted for 38%. 
Additionally, 25% involved metadata without smart contracts, highlighting the blockchain’s adaptability and the wide array of applications it supports. 
The foundation’s data also detailed growth in several other key areas of the Cardano network, underlining the technological advancement and deepening user involvement. 
Plutus scripts, which are essential for running smart contracts on Cardano, saw a rise of 1.88%, totalling 6,659. This increase is a direct reflection of the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/cardano/institutional-investors-cardano/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">growing developer activity</a> and the deployment of more complex applications on the platform. 
Moreover, the ecosystem saw a growth in native tokens, up by 1% to 10.2 million, and an even more significant rise in policies, which surged 7.6% to reach 150,477.

Wallet statistics also paint a picture of broadening participation within the Cardano community. The total number of Cardano wallets increased by 0.71% to 4.84 million, with delegated wallets slightly up by 0.02% to 1.35 million. 
This marginal growth in delegated wallets suggests a <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/hoskinson-cardano-will-flip-bitcoin-leading-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">stable interest</a> in staking and governance participation among ADA holders. 
<h2 id="ada-current-market-performance">ADA Current Market Performance</h2> 
Regardless of this notable growth in Cardano’s on-chain activities last month, the blockchain’s native token ADA has joined in on the global crypto market downturn. Over the past 24 hours alone, ADA has recorded a roughly 7.1% decrease in its value. 
This decline has brought the asset to currently trade at a <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/altcoin/cardano-ada-altcoins-price-boosts-santiment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">price</a> of $0.3202, at the time of writing—a slight increase from the price tag of $0.2789 seen earlier today.

Interesting, despite this plunge, ADA’s 24-hour trading volume has surge significantly from below $400,000 as of yesterday to roughly above $1.250 million as at the time of writing.
