VeChain Price Surges 77% on Interstellar Hard Fork Activation

The price of VeChain (VET) surged by 3.5 percentage points over the last 33 hours due to the activation of its Interstellar hard fork on mainnet.

The Interstellar hard fork, which went live at block height 25,902,540 on September 16, 2026, is a major network upgrade that brings VeChain's EVM equivalence with Ethereum's Cancun, Prague, and Osaka upgrades. This activation is tied to a sharp run-up in VET's price to about $0.007979, a 77% surge.

The rally is also being driven by three key developments: the Interstellar hard fork, the introduction of a new validator, and public technical defense. These events have created a bull case for VeChain, with traders buying into the network's upgrade cycle.
