VIRTUAL price spiked 9.27% today, ranging from $0.5335 to $0.6012 and currently settling at around $0.5892, while the trading volume reached $80.29 million, marking a 54.21% increase. Today’s rally was driven by ecosystem developments in AI-driven commerce and wallet infrastructure, which likely drew attention to the Virtuals Protocol project.
Coinbase Launch of Agentic Wallets Expands AI Commerce Infrastructure
Momentum around the VIRTUAL price coincided with Coinbase’s introduction of Agentic Wallets, a framework that enables AI agents to autonomously hold, spend, and trade digital assets.
As reported by BanklessTimes, the infrastructure operates through the x402 protocol, a machine-to-machine payments standard built for low-cost, chain-agnostic transactions. The release expands automation capabilities across decentralized finance, enabling AI agents to rebalance portfolios, manage liquidity, and independently acquire digital resources such as data streams and computing power.
Coinbase’s AgentKit supports the G.A.M.E. technology stack, allowing developers to embed wallet functions into AI agents without relying on a single model architecture. Activity around Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer-2 network, further supports adoption through gasless trading functionality tailored for autonomous agents.
Industry participation reinforced the narrative. More than 13,000 AI agents registered on Ethereum in a single day following the ERC-8004 standard release, while Lightning Labs introduced tools for AI-based payments using the L402 protocol on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.
Expanding AI transaction capabilities provided traders with a fundamental backdrop supporting the recent VIRTUAL price strength.
Buyers Defend Support Zone While Indicators Remain Mixed
Technical commentary from analyst Lyxo identifies the $0.55–$0.60 area as a critical support zone for the VIRTUAL price following an extended downtrend. Price retested this region, and buyers stepped in, slowing selling pressure and stabilizing short-term structure.
A loss of this level would expose additional downside, while sustained holding increases the probability of a recovery move.
Indicator data shows mixed signals. The Relative Strength Index is at 39.51, indicating neutral momentum and suggesting momentum has not yet shifted decisively. The MACD continues to signal a sell, reinforcing broader bearish pressure. Momentum indicators have started to improve slightly, with the Momentum reading turning positive while oscillators, including the Stochastic and Williams %R, remain neutral.
Trend indicators lean heavily bearish. Multiple exponential and simple moving averages from 20-day through 200-day timeframes remain above current price levels, confirming the broader downtrend structure. Short-term signals offer limited support: the 10-day simple moving average and Hull moving average are flashing buy signals, suggesting early stabilization but not a trend reversal.
The VIRTUAL price remains far below its all-time high of $5.07 recorded in January 2025, representing an 88.36% decline, yet continues to trade substantially above its all-time low of $0.007605.
