$VIRTUAL Token Skyrockets 150% as AI Crypto Sector Heats Up
Virtuals Protocol’s $VIRTUAL token has made a remarkable comeback, surging 152% in the past week to hit a three-month peak of $1.51. The AI-centric cryptocurrency currently trades at $1.45, representing a staggering 334% rebound from its April 9 low of $0.4384.
Trading volume has jumped 62% to $550.5 million daily, with market cap briefly reaching $960 million. This rally reflects growing confidence in AI-agent blockchain projects, a sector that expanded 322% in Q4 2024 according to CoinGecko.
The token’s resurgence follows a downturn for the previously top-ranked AI platform. Analysts suggest this performance may signal broader momentum for AI-integrated cryptocurrencies as institutional adoption accelerates.
