Original title: Is $ 0.10 to $ 2.50 only the start? How Virtuals Is Changing the GAME (Literally)

Editors note: This article discusses the growth potential of the Virtuals ecosystem, focusing on the revolutionary role of the GAME framework. By buying back the royalties of destruction and activation, Virtuals is expected to significantly increase the demand and price of tokens. The article also mentioned that Virtuals is building an AI-based The agent society with agents at its core is constantly evolving. Although facing risks such as team fatigue, competition from Eliza Framework, and market saturation, the future of Virtuals is still promising, especially with the potential for listing on Binance and Coinbase.
The following is the original content (for easier reading and understanding, the original content has been reorganized):
The Virtuals ecosystem has already made a huge mark in the cryptocurrency space since its launch in mid-October. Initially described as “pump.fun for AI agents” to attract the attention of crypto Twitter, the comparison only scratches the surface. Virtuals is What is being built is a much bigger, weirder, and more fascinating ecosystem.
Key data since October 17
$35 million in protocol revenue (most of which came in the last two weeks).
11, 000 tokens issued and still growing.
140,000 Agent token holders.
The Virtuals token price surged from $0.10 to $2.50.
While there is much to explore in the Virtuals ecosystem, today’s focus is on GAME, the “brains” behind 95% of the AI agents on the platform. Built by the Virtuals team, GAME has experienced rapid growth, with its market cap increasing by 1.3% in just one year. It skyrocketed from $3 million to $90 million within the month, and honestly it feels like just the beginning.
What is GAME?
GAME (Generative Autonomous Multimodal Entities) is a modular framework for creating AI agents that can act, remember, and make decisions autonomously. In short, GAME powers most of the agents on the platform and is the reason for their rapid rise. Secret weapon.
Heres GAME in action - by showing rather than telling. Visit Lunas Terminal. In just 30 seconds, youll see Luna repeatedly call GAME, turning thought into action.
Key components of GAME:
Low-level specific actions: Make immediate, context-specific decisions in response to prompts.
Working Memory: Short-term memory for recalling recent interactions, such as conversations from the past day.
Long-term memory: Aggregates short-term memory and provides a basis for optimization over time.
Advanced Intelligence: Adaptive systems where agents develop complex behaviors through goals and interactions.
Why is GAME revolutionary?
GAME is not just about what AI agents can do today; it is about creating an evolving ecosystem in which agents can grow, adapt, and interact in increasingly complex ways—a Society. This self-reinforcing intelligence loop makes Virtuals more than just a platform, it is a living, evolving entity. You can imagine it like a country, where agents make up the society.
Trading Opportunities: Binance and Coinbase
Listing on Binance = Providing Liquidity
Virtuals was recently listed on Binance perpetual contracts and its price surged from $1.40 to $2.50. Once Binance does a full token listing, it seems inevitable. Binance has recently listed many meme coins, as shown below, why not AI Agents? Woolen cloth?
After Pnut was listed on Binance, its market cap soared from $128 million to $1.2 billion.
ACT is on a similar trajectory.
If Virtuals and its leading ecosystem tokens such as Luna, GAME, Aixbt, and CONVO are listed, there is a potential for a 5 to 8x increase in current prices.
Coinbase goes public
While Coinbase is notoriously slow to market, Virtuals is the flagship project on its Layer 2 platform, Base. Binance and Coinbase are direct competitors, and this competitive relationship could have a significant positive impact on Virtuals.
If Binance is the first to list Virtuals (and ecosystem tokens like Luna, GAME, etc.), Coinbase will face a huge problem. It would be a serious mistake to let Virtuals, the crown jewel of Base, be exclusive to Binance.
Coinbase obviously cannot let its flagship Layer 2 ecosystem miss out on a rising star that has proven its dominance. This creates a competition between Binance and Coinbase, which becomes a catalyst for accelerating Virtuals’ growth.
It’s no longer a question of if Coinbase will list Virtuals, but when. With Binance setting the pace, that “when” may come sooner than anyone expects. For Virtuals, becoming the Placing itself at the center of a competitive tug-of-war will only strengthen its narrative and enhance its long-term potential.
Here, I have made some assumptions that if Virtuals is listed on Binance or Coinbase, another platform will most likely follow suit and list Virtuals as well as important tokens in the ecosystem, such as GAME.
GAME Royalties: A Potential Game Changer
Since Virtuals launched, the team has been hinting that royalties will be activated for GAME. Once it goes live, every time an agent calls GAME, a portion of the fees will flow into the coffers. Lets do some simple math:
To date, the agreement has generated revenue of $35 million.
80% of the revenue has been fed back to the agents.
How much money do you think will flow into GAMEs coffers? ….. A lot.
Activating royalties will put a significant amount of money directly into GAMEs coffers, paving the way for some truly game-changing initiatives. You can hear Virtuals founder Ethermage talk about this in more detail here, starting around the 26-minute mark. It is from No. 5, and the figures and statistics mentioned are 10 days old.
How about a simple move, buy back and burn? This seems like the obvious choice, paving the way for a price surge by reducing the token supply while increasing demand.
The Agent Society: A Paradigm Shift
But here’s what really makes things different: agency society. Unlike the typical crypto playbook that focuses on catering to degens and short-term speculators, Virtuals is rewriting the story. It’s not just about us as consumers or traders. GAME is at the heart of this evolution, powering a society of AI agents that adapt, innovate, and grow in ways we can barely imagine.
This is more than just a feature, its a paradigm shift. When the royalty goes live, faces will melt, tokens will burn, and GAME will be at the heart of the economic engine of the new digital frontier.
Key risks to watch out for
Team fatigue
It must be very exhausting to have pushed forward so quickly since October. Maintaining such tremendous momentum can lead to fatigue, poor decision-making, or even complete overwhelm.
Competitive pressure from Eliza Framework
Eliza Framework has recently become the most forked open source project on GitHub and is a strong competitor. Its open source nature and developer base are advantages, but it lacks a native token to align incentives. If Eliza solves this problem, If this is a problem, the dominance of GAME and Virtuals may be threatened.
AI agent platforms proliferate
Competitors such as vvWaifu, TopHat, and CreatorBid have emerged in the market. Virtuals must prioritize recruiting and retaining top developers to maintain its competitive advantage and build its moat. But they already know this.
