Surging over 226% in the last month and making a huge comeback, $VIRTUAL could be well-positioned to become one of the leading altcoins of the coming bull run.
AI Agents are here to take over, but are you here to join them?
This is a deep dive into the Virtuals Protocol join us, anon!
What is Virtuals Protocol?
Virtuals is a protocol that was first launched in 2024 and enables anyone to create and use AI Agents. In its first two months of existence, Virtuals obtained a $1B market cap, swiftly showcasing its position as a leading AI-focused cryptocurrency.
Merging the Metaverse and AI Agents, Virtuals strives to provide an enhanced immersive experience for developers and users in the ecosystem by enabling more interactive environments. Currently available on Solana and Base, Virtuals is consistently expanding its availability on the best blockchains in Web3.
What are Virtuals AI Agents?
AI Agents built on Virtuals can autonomously engage with many protocols built on Solana and Base to perform complex tasks without any human engagement needed. Think of an agent as your virtual clone that will do anything on your command.

All AI Agents can own assets, conduct transactions and provide unique services within DeFi. Trained with revolutionary AI models, they can learn and adapt their behaviours based on user on-chain activity to maintain a superior user experience.
The world of finance is changing at an alarming rate, and Virtuals is on a mission to create “The Wall Street for AI Agents”. Now, already home to over 180K AI Agent owners, 17K AI Agents and Builders with over $7B in trading volume conducted on the protocol, Virtuals has created an economy like no other.
How Does Virtuals Protocol Work?
Everyone and anyone can launch an AI Agent on Virtuals, and the best part is, they’re tokenized.
All it takes is 100 $VIRTUAL tokens deployed on a bonding curve. As soon as enough $VIRTUAL has been obtained in the bonding curve, a liquidity pool is created with $VIRTUAL and the AI Agent token.
Once the AI Agent is active, it can be used to provide services to users or other agents, conduct transactions, manage your portfolio, and even use it to provide data analysis and GPU power, all of which provide value to the agent creator.
All agents are permissionless and can receive payments based on the services provided to users in the ecosystem!
$VIRTUAL Token
Serving as the fuel of the entire ecosystem, the $VIRTUAL token has many utilities. Primarily, $VIRTUAL is used to create new agents and is paired with every AI Agent token in its liquidity pool.
Secondly, $VIRTUAL is a routing currency, meaning users must swap their tokens into $VIRTUAL before buying any agent tokens on the market.
Finally, in the near future, $VIRTUAL will be used as the agentic currency to operate and transact through the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), the latest focus of the Virtuals Protocol.
Conclusion
According to CoinMarketCap, at the time of writing, $VIRTUAL is trading at $2 with a large market cap of $1.3B, ranking it the 69th largest crypto and the 2nd largest AI Agent token by market cap. In January 2025, with the surge of AI Agents, $VIRTUAL claimed an ATH of $5.07.
It wasn’t long before the markets took a downturn and $VIRTUAL dropped from $5.07 to a low of roughly $0.43 in April. Now, with better market conditions, a surge in AI Agent activity and more announcements, the $VIRTUAL token has risen over 4x and seems to be targeting that previous ATH.
Exciting times are coming, anon!
