Cardano is ramping up activity since Vasil fork is edging closer as we enter the second week of June. It is now up and running on the right path with major indicators leading the way for a bullish rally. IOHK has also given a timely update on the latest developments on the project.

As per a Santiment tweet, 39 whale transactions were recorded between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. on 3 June. Whale activity has been on the high ever since that hour along with a 17-day high social volume of Cardano. These metrics have eventually attributed to a +32% price surge for ADA as it approaches the launch of the Vasil hard fork.
