The biggest altcoin whales are after a project like the Ethereum merge, which is poised to complete a significant rise.
Big day for this altcoin, whales buy even at the last minute
Cardano’s much anticipated Vasil upgrade is in effect on September 22 as scheduled. The Cardano network gained smart contract capability with Alonzo last year. The final upgrade Vasil will make these contracts faster and more efficient.
cryptocoin.com We talked about the importance of September 22 for Cardano. In the whales, they stand out with a significant amount of ADA purchases as Cardano prepares to rise. Data provided by WhaleStats shows that the ADA token is becoming popular again among whales. The 8th largest cryptocurrency by market cap has reached the top 10 among the most bought altcoins by Binance whales today. The whales’ appetites were fueled as Vasil’s hard fork approached.

Carolin Taling, founder of Husky Pool, commented on the importance of the day for Cardano:
Today, September 22, is a historic moment for Cardano ADA, with the Vasil update occurring at 00:44.
Meanwhile, the Vasil network upgrade will take place after roughly 00:30 tonight. Binance has announced that ADA withdrawals and deposits will be stopped an hour earlier this time.
Binance users, pay attention to these during the Vasil hard fork
The network upgrade for the Plutus V2 Cost Model will occur at 366, or roughly 00:45 on September 27. In this case, starting at 11:45 pm on September 27, ADA deposits and withdrawals will be suspended. Once Binance determines that the upgraded network is stable, it will restart deposits and withdrawals for ADA, according to Binance. However, the network upgrade and hard fork will not have an impact on ADA trading.

What changes with Vasil? Why is it important for the altcoin market?
Vasil will unveil a new iteration of Plutus, Cardano’s native smart contract language. The IOG team and Cardano Foundation say it will be the start of a new era of the 5-year altcoin project. Plutus V2 is expected to be released next week, after Vasil has been up and running for a few days. Scripting contracts can now use inputs and unspent transaction output (UTXO). This will reduce the size of transactions that previously caused latency. This is possible thanks to complex modifications to Cardano’s ledger. Meanwhile, to put it simply, complex upgrade is all about increasing security and control, according to Cardano technical director Matthias Benkort.
ADA is currently trading at $0.4479. After the Fed’s rate hike by 0.75 basis points, the market could not escape the sales.
