The post VIRTUAL price wakes up as post-breakout momentum builds, eyes $4 next appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Virtuals Protocol’s price has woken up after weeks of sideways action, potentially tracking towards $4 if momentum persists.

Allocations are determined dynamically based on each participant’s share of the total pledged points, with a hard cap of 0.5% of the total token supply per user. As users must also commit VIRTUAL tokens alongside their points (up to 566 VIRTUAL per entry, including a 1% tax), the mechanism has directly increased demand for the token. Another likely catalyst behind today’s surge was the announcement of VIRTUAL’s listing on Binance.US.
