• Things are looking up for ADA this morning.

Things are looking better for Cardano (ADA), considering the cryptocurrency is up almost 5% over the last day amid the Vasil hard fork.

This comes after the Vasil hard fork was given an official anticipated date over the last week. According to the co-founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, the upgrade is planned to take place on September 22 of this year.

This date was revealed by Hoskinson during a livestream on Friday morning. In this livestream, he also reflected on the huge amount of work the team has put into the update, and he revealed that the Vasil hard fork was “probably the hardest update we’ve ever had to do as an ecosystem”.

This means that the hard fork is likely to happen right after the Ethereum Merge, which is expected to happen on September 15.
