Virtual Protocol (VIRTUAL) saw its price surge 15.92% in 24 hours following a $700 million token migration to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, enhancing security after recent DeFi exploits. The project also integrated with Robinhood Chain’s AI agent infrastructure, expanding its role in the tokenized AI economy. This boosted investor confidence, driving a 385.69% spike in trading volume and a 35.85% rise in derivatives open interest, signaling strong buying activity and speculative interest. VIRTUAL broke out of a descending price channel, approaching key resistance at $0.65, with potential to climb toward $0.80 if buyers maintain momentum.
