Crypto x AI – did we all fade it too soon? 🤔

The comeback of #VIRTUAL tells something else!

Up from lows of $0.4 → $2+!

What were they doing right? ↓

→ The Genesis Launch - wasn’t just another update. It was a pivot. transparent tokenomics, visible vesting schedules, cutting out fee complexity. brought a 35% surge on May 1st, pushing them past $1B MC. Less about price action, more about rebuilding trust in a space full of rug pulls.

→ The real shift? Adoption. Over 10,000 unique users engaging with AI agents in a single day. 730 new agents created. That’s not speculative volume – that’s product-market fit starting to show up.

→ While others chased the next shiny thing, Virtuals locked in partnerships, rolled out incentives for builders, created feedback loops that reward long-term participants.

→ The takeaway? AI in crypto didn’t fail. Projects did. Virtuals just proved that with real-world impact, transparency, and a user-first approach – you can flip the narrative. The market may have faded AI, but it’s waking up to what actual utility looks like.

The play isn’t to be the first AI protocol to launch. It’s to be the one that sticks. Virtuals is a nice case study to read for others!
