Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) has recorded the highest gains among digital assets in 2024, soaring 23,079% year-to-date. The cryptocurrency has outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) by 172x and is currently ranked 44th on CoinMarketCap.
According to CoinGecko’s annual report, VIRTUAL started the year at $0.01311. It then hovered around $0.2 before soaring to its all-time high of $3.29 eleven days ago. CoinMarketCap data shows that Virtuals Protocol has a market cap of $3.1 billion and is trading at $3.11 at the time of writing, up 284.60% in the last 30 days.
One of the reasons for Virtuals Protocol’s success is the popularity of its AI agent launchpad. The launchpad gives users access to both AI and meme coins. Another leader is the Brett meme coin (BRETT), which has surged 14,784.6% from $0.145 at the start of the year to its all-time high of $0.234 a few weeks ago.
Other notable winners include Popcat (POPCAT), up 10,458%; Mantra (OM), up 6,418%; and Mog Coin (MOG), up 6,050%. 2024 has clearly been the year of AI tokens, RWA projects, and meme coin ecosystems. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high of $108,000 this year, and traditional altcoins like Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and XRP also dominated the top 10.$SHIB $UNI $AVAX
