VIRTUAL Price Analysis: Potential Drop Toward $0.50 Suggested by Analyst

VIRTUAL, the AI-driven blockchain network’s token, dipped below the $0.95 key support in a descending triangle formation, indicating a potential further drop toward $0.50. Over the last 24 hours, VIRTUAL saw a 20.6% price drop, trading at $0.8775 with a 16.43% decrease in trading volume. The token has faced a decline in active addresses and revenue, alongside whale sell-offs in Q1 2025, despite expanding to the Solana ecosystem. Declining Open Interest (OI) and selling pressure raise concerns about VIRTUAL’s ability to recover from this breakdown.

Hamster Network Surpasses Solana with 34,028 TPS

Two weeks after its launch, Hamster Network, the L2 network of Hamster Kombat, has hit 34,028 TPS, almost eight times faster than Solana’s current TPS of 4,360.

Solana’s New Proposal Slashes Inflation by 80%, But Critics Warn of Centralization

A proposal authored by Multicoin Capital and Anza’s Lead Economist, Max Resnick, has sparked mixed reactions. The proposal, SIMD-0228, introduces dynamic, market-driven “smart emissions” instead of a fixed issuance schedule on Solana. The goal is to reduce inflation by adjusting SOL emissions based on staking participation. If staking is high, emissions decrease. Conversely, emissions would rise if staking participation drops. A target staking rate of 50% is proposed, with inflation capped at 1.5%.
