OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the listing of Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) on its Spot platform.
The listing follows a surge in momentum for VIRTUAL, which hit a three-month high yesterday amid strong on-chain activity and new strategic integrations.

VIRTUAL secures listing on major exchanges
In its latest announcement, OKX has confirmed that VIRTUAL can trade with the Tether (USDT) pair. The exchange has opened deposits.
Additionally, trading will begin at 8:00 UTC after a one-hour pre-open session starting at 7:00 UTC. OKX will start withdrawing money at 11:00 UTC.
“After the pre-open session ends, OKX will use the last index price at the start of continuous trading as the initial price on the trading chart,” the exchange said.
OKX will cap limit orders at $10,000 during the first five minutes of trading. The exchange also plans to implement index-based price limits during the pre-open period and ongoing trading. These measures are aimed at reducing volatility when tokens debut on the platform.
How Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) regained market attention in October
Notably, OKX’s decision to list the token comes at a time when VIRTUAL is receiving renewed attention. The value of altcoins has increased by over 90% in the past week, according to data from BeInCrypto Markets.
Yesterday, it even reached a three-month high before going into a correction. Over the past day, VIRTUAL token has fallen by 7.8%. At the time of writing, it was trading at $1.43.

Despite the decline, 87% of traders remain bullish on VIRTUAL, according to CoinGecko data, highlighting the strong optimism of the community. This sentiment is also reflected in analyst forecasts, who expect the token to continue reaching new highs.
One analyst said the altcoin could break its 19-week downward trend and lead to even bigger gains. He added that even if there is a correction, the overall outlook will remain bullish.
“My goals: $2, $2.59, $3.2 (bullish targets are even higher ;),” he wrote.
In addition to price, the network has seen significant growth overall. The number of daily active wallets increased in late October, averaging more than 10,000, according to the latest data from Dune Analytics. Furthermore, whale trades over $100,000 increased by 240% from the previous week.
This growth can be attributed to the expansion of the ecosystem, which has amplified the utility and demand for VIRTUAL. Virtuals Protocol’s AI agent ecosystem has seen multiple integrations. Additionally, the network announced that all agent tokens are now publicly available on Coinbase.
“Virtual is one of Base’s most important ecosystems, and we’re all incredibly proud to have it all on @coinbase. It’s incredibly well-deserved,” wrote Jesse Pollak, Head of Base.
Taken together, these trends indicate a clear resurgence of interest in virtual protocols. Whether this momentum continues or declines remains to be seen.
