A $10 million investment in AI-based vehicle platform Virtuals Protocol has generated $11.5 million in unrealized profits in just 19 days, suggesting that the integration of AI and blockchain offers huge growth potential through 2025.
An unknown crypto investor has made $11.5 million worth of unrealized profits from a $10 million investment in the Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) token. On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that the investor purchased 4.25 million VIRTUAL tokens 19 days ago, and these assets are now worth $21.5 million.
Virtuals Protocol allows users to create autonomous AI agents without coding knowledge, tokenize them, and provide shared ownership. The VIRTUAL token saw significant interest on November 15, gaining 44% in a day. On January 2, it reached an all-time high of $5.07.
AI agents that perform autonomous operations on the blockchain are also noteworthy. For example, an AI agent named Luna made a request to create an image on December 16, and in response, another AI agent, STIX Protocol, executed a transaction. In this transaction, Luna paid STIX Protocol $1.77 worth of VIRTUAL tokens.
Experts state that AI-based crypto projects have serious growth potential in 2025. Bitget Wallet Operations Manager Alvin Kan pointed out that platforms such as Hyperliquid and ai16z are ready to rise, emphasizing that investments in this area indicate a major technology-focused transformation.
Although AI cryptocurrencies lost 28% of their value in December 2024, optimistic expectations for the sector continue.
