The native token of the Virtuals Protocol, VIRTUAL, has gained 31.3% in the past 24 hours and its trading volumes have surged to $467 million, which accounts for 19% of the asset’s total circulating supply.
The popularity of Virtuals has exploded lately amid the success of various AI agents created through its platforms that have already become viral sensations in social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
One notable example is aiXBT by Virtuals, an AI agent that shares interesting takes on cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and investment ideas. The official X account of aixbt, which is primarily managed by a Virtuals-powered bot, has already increased its number of followers to 385,400 in just three months.

The Virtuals Protocol allows creators to monetize their AI agents by minting a native asset that fans can buy to support it. In the case of aixbt, its token has become so popular that Binance picked it up and listed it.
The crypto exchange announced that users would be able to purchase AIXBT starting on January 10. In addition, they also listed other AI agent tokens including CGPT and COOKIE.
This reflects the growing popularity of AI coins and how they have progressively become one of the hottest and most promising segments of the crypto markets in 2025.
VIRTUAL’s Rally Seems Stretched from a Technical Standpoint
The native token of the Virtuals Protocol is one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies of the top 100 thus far in 2025, as it accumulates a 26.8% gain since the year started. Today’s remarkable uptick has managed to reverse the token’s downtrend, which started back on January 2 when it crossed above the $5 level.
Today, VIRTUAL decisively broke the $3.10 resistance earlier today and has been surging non-stop since then. The growing popularity of AI agents could be partially responsible for this surge.
The price has moved above the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level, which means that this bull run may soon exhaust its ammunition, so beware late buyers, as you don’t want to get caught up in the huge profit-taking move that will probably come after.
The 1-hour chart shows that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is already heavily stretched and has entered overbought territory. A correction could take the price down to 0.5 Fibonacci in the near term, and if the price keeps dropping, it may retest the $3.10 level.
Despite this temporary weakness, the outlook for VIRTUAL in the mid-term is positive as today’s surge has reversed the prevailing downtrend. Whether this will result in a retest of the $5 level in the following weeks is difficult to predict, but trading volumes indicate that investors’ interest in this asset is picking up its pace again.
