The VIRTUAL token, associated with Virtuals Protocol, experienced a significant 28% price increase to $2.61 during European trading hours. This surge came after Upbit, South Korea’s top cryptocurrency exchange, decided to list VIRTUAL. The listing included trading pairs with USDT, KRW, and BTC, exposing the token to South Korea’s altcoin-savvy traders. Previously, Virtuals Protocol announced a buyback and burn program for its ecosystem agent tokens, using nearly 13 million VIRTUAL tokens from trading income. The protocol, originally on Base, expanded to Solana through LayerZero, enhancing trading with a new Meteora pool and establishing a SOL reserve from 1% of trading fees.
