Virtuals Protocol Launches ACP Beta for AI and Blockchain Sync - Crypto News Flash

• Virtuals Protocol launched ACP Public Beta to enable AI agents to collaborate and transact on-chain using open standards.
• Agent clusters like hedge funds and media houses show real use cases of autonomous AI coordination on blockchain.

Virtuals Protocol officially released the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) to the Public Beta stage. This release was carried out in early July 2025 and is a strong signal that they are serious about building a bridge between artificial intelligence and blockchain-based financial systems.

ACP is designed as an open protocol that allows AI agents—a kind of smart bot with specific functions—to interact, negotiate, and even make automatic contracts.

So if blockchain transactions are usually rigid and require human intervention, ACP tries to make everything easier through digital agents that can run on their own. It’s like you can have a virtual “work team” that is active 24 hours a day without complaining about being tired.

AI Agents Go Live: From Mamo to Full Hedge Fund Teams

Interestingly, this ACP does not come empty-handed. There are already several AI agents that have started to be active and tested in the system. For example, Mamo for saving optimization, GigaBrain as a trading signal assistant, and Virgen Capital (VaderAI) which acts like a digital VC to find new token projects.

This is no longer an experiment that is only easy to read the whitepaper—some are already working in the real world and can be accessed by users.

Not stopping there, ACP also introduced the concept of “agent clusters.” So it’s not just one AI working alone, but a group of agents with different tasks can coordinate with each other for a common goal.

For example, in an Autonomous Hedge Fund, there are agents who specifically analyze, some who execute trades, and some who manage funds. All work together like a real hedge fund team, except this is a digital and automated version.

Furthermore, Virtuals has also expanded its functions to the property sector through a collaboration with PrimoAI. A few weeks ago, as we have covered, they introduced a system where property agents can work as autonomous agents on the blockchain. Tasks such as listing, validation, and transactions can be carried out without human presence. Imagine having a property agent who never sleeps.

Meanwhile, as of the writing time, VIRTUAL is changing hands at about $1.54, up 6.69% over the last 7 days, and its daily trading volume is at about $170 million.

Virtuals Protocol Lets the Community Take the Wheel

On the other hand, they are not only focused on the technology side. Lately, the direction of policy has also begun to be opened to the public. CNF reports that Virtuals has launched on-chain governance. This means that veVIRTUAL holders now have a say in determining the future of the protocol.

Voting power does not come from who holds the most, but from who believes the most in the long term. So it is increasingly decentralized and the community is starting to take control, not just the core team.

Meanwhile, for those of you who like to peek at whale movements or want to know about new projects, at the end of June, WhaleIntel also added integration with Virtuals Protocol. Users can now directly see staking, fund movements in and out, and even project launches in real-time. There are also smart analysis tools that can help read market direction based on actual data on the blockchain.

Although this ACP Public Beta is not completely smooth—the Virtuals team itself said that the UX is still quite rough—they are open to inviting input from the community. They say that if your feedback is valuable enough, there could be a reward at the end. Not bad, right?
