Virtual Protocol, $VIRTUAL coin is trading at $1.73, with a market cap of $1.13B and a 24-hour trading volume of $652.85M, reflecting a 32.66% increase in price and a 98.70% surge in volume.
Looking at the “AI Agents Created (Cumulative)” chart, we can see that demand for creating AI agents in the Virtual Ecosystem has cooled off over time. After a rapid spike from 68 agents in October to 16K agents by mid-January — a rise within just 3 months — the numbers have since plateaued, holding steady between 16K and 17,695 agents for the past 4 months.
This indicates that while there was an initial FOMO-driven rush, possibly fueled by hype or speculation, the market has now settled into a consolidation phase.
Virtuals Protocol, has seen a steep decline in user engagement, measured by daily active wallets (DAWs), despite expanding from Coinbase’s Base chain to Solana.
On January 2, 2025, the protocol recorded its peak activity with 58,641 DAWs on Base and 2,562 on Solana, totaling 58,641. However, by April 20, DAWs had dropped over 61% to 22,315 on Base and 241 on Solana—totalling 22,556, Making it a two-month high.
The decline continued through April 30, with DAWs falling to just 8,328 on Base and 529 on Solana, amounting to 8,857 users—a sharp 84.9% drop from the January peak.
Despite a 200% price rally over the past two weeks, Virtuals Protocol’s trading volume on decentralized exchanges shows only a modest recovery.
On April 16, 2025, total DEX volume was $3.52 million — $3.29M on Base and $229K on Solana. Two weeks later, on April 29, volume rose to $27.6 million, with $26.4M on Base and $1.17M on Solana.
While this marks a 683% jump in volume, it’s still nearly 90% lower than the January peak of $267.5 million — signaling weak market participation despite the price hype.
Looking at the VIRTUALUSD chart and its on-chain behaviour, the asset is displaying a classic parabolic curve structure, with three completed bases fueling a sharp vertical rally. This began around April 10, breaking Base 1 ($0.60), Base 2 ($1.10), and Base 3 (~$1.40) to reach a high of $1.97 by May 1. This aggressive upside suggests the market is entering the Final pump, where $2.00–$2.20 is the projected Sell Point.
This Sell Point is a crucial level to watch—not only due to technical exhaustion, but because RSI is now extremely overbought at 84.75, signalling that price may soon reverse or consolidate. Additionally, the MACD continues to show a strong bullish crossover with widening histogram bars, confirming momentum, but the angle is steep, indicating a possible cooldown ahead.
If the parabolic rally sustains, VIRTUALUSD could reach its previous high of $2.60 by MAy 1st week. However, a failure to break $2.20 could trigger a healthy retracement to support levels at $1.40 and $1.10. Traders should monitor volume and momentum closely while managing profit-taking strategies near the peak zone.

Newton Protocol, a decentralized finance (DeFi) project, recently launched its token NEWT on Binance Alpha, accompanied by a highly anticipated airdrop. However, the airdrop did not yield the expected outcome.
Instead of boosting investor demand and value, it led to a significant price drop of nearly 40%, sparking concerns among holders.
The airdrop associated with the Newton Protocol has received mixed reactions from investors. Some investors have expressed disappointment, labeling the token a potential failure after the airdrop did not generate sustained interest. This has been followed by a sharp price decline and a dump of tokens as market sentiment soured.
On the other hand, some investors are praising Newton Protocol’s creative word-of-mouth/referral strategy. Through the Kaito ecosystem, users have been promoting the token to their networks. This grassroots marketing approach is being viewed as an attempt to build organic growth, according to Kaito Founder Yu Hu.
“Magic Newton are a great example of what we’re increasingly focusing on fostering – yappers bringing real users with real adoption (Kaito ecosystem referrals represent 1/3 of all Newton verified agents). on this note, we are thinking about incorporating opt-in onchain reputation to help further filter out AI slops and reward high-quality real users,” Hu stated.
One key factor that could boost investor confidence is Newton Protocol’s team’s commitment to ensuring a fair and stable market. The protocol has put measures in place to prevent flash selling and pump-and-dump schemes.
All tokens allocated to team members and early investors are subject to a vesting schedule, prohibiting them from being sold until fully unlocked. This move helps create a more stable market environment and discourages speculative behavior.
The recent price movement of NEWT has been largely driven by the airdrop. The price began to fall almost immediately after the launch. In just 12 hours, the token saw a drastic 40% drop, showing a clear disconnect between the anticipated demand and the market’s actual response.
Currently trading at $0.462, NEWT has failed to secure $0.466 as a support level. As the price continues to slide, it is approaching the next critical support at $0.400. If the price falls below $0.400, further losses are likely, with stronger selling pressure expected to drive the price lower. This would indicate that the initial enthusiasm for the token has waned.
However, if the Newton Protocol can regain momentum and secure the $0.466 level as support, it could signal a reversal in price. In this scenario, the altcoin could bounce back to $0.560, which would invalidate the current bearish outlook. This would require sustained buying interest and a more favorable response from the market.

XRP is showing strength after breaking above a key Fibonacci resistance area earlier this week. This upward move followed positive market sentiment, likely driven by recent developments around crypto-based ETFs. While the structure of the rally remains complex, analysts are closely watching several important price levels for signs of continued bullish rally.
XRP has continued to form higher highs and higher lows, a classic sign of upward momentum. Price action is currently following a diagonal wave pattern, a type of bullish structure that is less powerful than a strong impulsive trend but can still support further gains.
The recent swing low at $2.11–$2.12 (April 24) now serves as a critical support level. As long as XRP stays above this range, the bullish scenario remains intact. A drop below this level would call for a re-evaluation of the short-term structure.
The next upside targets are in the $2.46 to $2.55 range. This area aligns with the 138% Fibonacci extension level, which is often considered a key milestone in wave-based analysis. Reaching this zone would complete a larger third wave in the current five-wave pattern.
XRP is still trading within a long-term descending parallel channel on the daily timeframe, meaning the broader trend remains bearish for now. However, there are growing signs that this trend may be losing strength.
On the 3-day chart, the bearish divergence in the RSI—active since earlier in the year—is close to being invalidated. If the RSI moves above its previous high, and the price breaks out above the $2.50 level, that would serve as a strong signal of a trend reversal.
This would shift XRP out of short-term relief rallies and into a more defined bullish trend.
