Coinbase announced its plan to list Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) with a VIRTUAL-USD spot trading pair, scheduled to go live on or after 9 AM PT on April 29, contingent upon meeting liquidity conditions.
"Once a sufficient supply of this asset is established, trading on our VIRTUAL-USD trading pair will launch in phases," Coinbase said in its official announcement, confirming the move for the Ethereum-based (ERC-20) token.
The token added approximately 1 percent week-over-week, according to market data, part of a broader 1.6 percent gain in the AI token sector. The formal listing announcement follows VIRTUAL's addition to the Coinbase listing roadmap on April 23, a development that attracted speculative capital into the AI-agent focused protocol. Social trading commentary noted a sharp rejection in the VIRTUAL/USDT pair from above the $0.70 level last week, indicating key resistance ahead of the listing.
The listing on a tier-1 exchange is expected to significantly increase liquidity and exposure for VIRTUAL, potentially triggering the short-term price volatility often called the "Coinbase effect." The event makes VIRTUAL one of the few AI-agent tokens, alongside peers like Bittensor (TAO) and Render (RENDER), to secure a spot on the leading U.S. exchange, increasing its market awareness.
