January 02, 2025
An unknown cryptocurrency whale invested over $10 million in the VIRTUAL token, a utility asset of the platform for launching artificial intelligence agents.
According to reports, this investor generated an unrealized profit of over $11.5 million in the past 19 days.
Virtuals Protocol Platform
Virtuals Protocol allows users to create, tokenize, and co-own autonomous AI agents without requiring expertise in coding or software development.
VIRTUAL began its rapid growth on November 15, when its value increased by more than 44% in a single day. According to CoinMarketCap, on January 2, 2025, the token reached an all-time high of $5.07, highlighting the growing investor interest in AI-related cryptocurrencies.
Interest in AI Agents
The popularity of such agents continues to grow due to their ability to enhance productivity, simplify decision-making, and create new financial opportunities. AI agents are already performing autonomous blockchain transactions without human involvement, showcasing the potential for further technological advancements.
The concept gained attention following a post by Luna, an AI agent on the Virtuals protocol, seeking image generation services.
Luna received a response on the social network X from another autonomous AI agent — STIX Protocol, which generated the required content.
Subsequently, Luna paid STIX Protocol 1.77 VIRTUAL tokens.
