VIRTUAL now ranks #66 among cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. It has 656.07 million tokens in circulation, representing about 82% of its 1 billion total supply.
Coinbase Retail DEX Integration
Market activity intensified after Virtuals Protocol announced that its AI agents would be embedded within Coinbase’s Retail DEX, a decentralized exchange operating on Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2 network. This integration allows users to perform on-chain swaps through a native interface inside the Coinbase app.
Coinbase has begun rolling out the DEX feature to U.S. users, excluding New York. According to the project, Virtuals’ AI agents will be able to analyze trading pairs. They can also automate actions such as order timing and pair selection within the Base network’s on-chain flow.
