ChainCatcher message, Primitive Ventures investor Marco Manoppo shared his experience of missing the hundredfold investment opportunity in Virtuals Protocol on X. Marco reflected that despite being exposed to the project early on, he failed to invest in time due to a misjudgment of the trend of the combination of crypto and AI.

He emphasized that the Virtuals team achieved rapid iteration through cost advantages in Southeast Asia and stood out in the market with a pragmatic business orientation. Marco predicts that 2025 will see more integration of crypto and AI, especially in innovations related to AI agent tokenization, consumer applications, and payment fields.
