Following Robinhood Chain's recent announcements of new developments, Virtuals Protocol has once again attracted market attention. Driven by related news, the token VIRTUAL rose by approximately 20% in the past 24 hours, indicating a return of funds to concepts related to AI agents and on-chain transactions.

Robinhood Chain Announces Two Developments

When Robinhood launched its mainnet on July 1, it positioned itself as a high-speed, secure, AI-native blockchain for Real-World Assets (RWA). Meanwhile, Virtuals Protocol stated that its AI agent infrastructure would be integrated into Robinhood Chain from day one.

According to the directions disclosed by both parties, users will be able to create, fund, hold, and use AI agents in the tokenized market in the future, which makes Virtuals Protocol one of the earliest projects mentioned in the Robinhood Chain ecosystem.

Developers can directly deploy AI agents

On July 10, Robinhood Crypto updated its statement, announcing that the relevant infrastructure was officially online, allowing developers to build AI agents directly on the Robinhood Chain. Subsequently, the platform disclosed that its automated trading functionality would be integrated with AI agent scenarios.

According to the introduction, eligible US users can connect the AI agent to a dedicated account to automate transactions, view real-time profits and losses, and receive push notifications. This arrangement reinforced market expectations of "AI agents participating in on-chain transactions" and became one of the direct catalysts for VIRTUAL's price increase that day.

After the price rebounds, watch the $1.20 level.

In terms of price performance, VIRTUAL rebounded from around $0.50 and rose to approximately $0.64, a single-day increase of nearly 20%. The report noted that the token has regained its footing near the 50-day moving average, indicating improved short-term sentiment.

Next, market focus will shift to higher resistance levels. If buying continues, VIRTUAL may test the $1.20 area; if it breaks through further, $2 will become the next key psychological level to watch.

However, based on current information, this surge is mainly driven by news from the Robinhood Chain ecosystem. Whether it can continue depends on whether developer participation and market demand continue to follow suit.
