Virtuals Protocol Token Soars 28%, Surpassing $1.9B Market Cap

The Virtuals Protocol ecosystem, built on Coinbase’s Base blockchain, is seeing significant growth fueled by surging interest in AI agents—autonomous programs capable of performing human-like tasks.

The ecosystem’s total market capitalization hit $1.9 billion, with its native token, VIRTUAL, climbing nearly 29% in the last 24 hours and a staggering 161% over the past week, according to CoinGecko.

Virtuals Protocol serves as a launchpad and marketplace for gaming and entertainment AI agents, leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize and expand AI-powered functionalities. These agents can post on social media, chat on Telegram, generate memes, livestream, create music, and operate autonomously on platforms like Roblox.

The VIRTUAL token, trading at $1.38 after hitting an all-time high, is now among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Co-founded in 2021 as PathDAO and rebranded in January, Virtuals Protocol aims to democratize AI ownership and expand AI applications.

AI agent tokens within the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem experienced notable gains on Friday, reflecting growing enthusiasm in the market. Aixbt by Virtuals (AIXBT) increased 23.8%, reaching $0.21, Luna by Virtuals (LUNA) rose 9.4%, hitting $0.08, and VaderAI by Virtuals (VADER) jumped a remarkable 78.9%, climbing to $0.05.

These tokens have seen substantial growth over the week, with each more than doubling in price, signaling heightened investor interest in the Virtuals Protocol and its AI-driven offerings.
