Will Increased Development Cause Price Surge for Cardano, Kusama, and Polkadot?

Santiment asserts that development activity strongly correlates with better price performance, as lower-ranked projects generally exhibit weaker average performances. However, there are exceptions to this rule. 

Cardano (ADA), despite demonstrating a significant amount of development activity, has not experienced substantial price movement and is currently down by a staggering 86.67% from its all-time high of $3.09. 

Nevertheless, since the start of 2023, ADA has increased by approximately 66%, in line with the broader cryptocurrency market’s signs of recovery. According to Santiment, “Monitoring development activity is just one of many metrics to consider while optimizing your portfolio.” However, the metric is not conclusive.
