According to Odaily, Marco Manoppo, an investor at Primitive Ventures, recently shared his experience of missing a significant investment opportunity in Virtuals Protocol on social media platform X. Despite being aware of the project in its early stages, Marco admitted that he failed to invest due to a misjudgment of the emerging trend combining cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI).
Marco highlighted that the Virtuals team capitalized on cost advantages in Southeast Asia to achieve rapid iteration and distinguished themselves in the market with a pragmatic business approach. He emphasized the importance of recognizing such trends early to capitalize on potential investment opportunities.
Looking ahead, Marco predicts a surge in the integration of cryptocurrency and AI by 2025. He anticipates significant innovations, particularly in the areas of AI agent tokenization, consumer applications, and payment solutions, as these fields continue to evolve and intersect.
