No new coins are printed. The treasury sits still.
VIRTUAL is the base coin of Virtuals Protocol, the AI-agent launchpad: 658.39M of its fixed 1B coins circulate.
Sell pressure. No new coins are minted. An old lockup released 1.55M VIRTUAL in 90 days and holds 295K more. The 340.65M treasury has not moved since May 2024.
Buy pressure. Nothing buys back or burns VIRTUAL; fee income stays inside the float.
Net. Net, supply grew about 0.24% in 90 days, and at most 0.04% next.
VIRTUAL has no emission and no staking pay in new coins. All 1B coins were created at the 2023 launch, the contract caps supply at exactly 1B, and the owner key that could mint was given up. A test mint call on the live contract is refused by the contract itself, so no new VIRTUAL can be printed.
A lockup contract outside the circulating count paid out 1,549,376 VIRTUAL in these 90 days through 19 claims and refunds, read from its balance at both ends and from every transfer. It now holds 295,279 VIRTUAL in four streams that are all claimable by Oct 24 2026, so at most 295K more can come out next, and then it is empty.
The treasury multisig holds 340.65M VIRTUAL, about a third of all coins, and has not sent a single coin since May 2024. The rules let it release up to 10% of its share a year after a vote, and the team grant pays only if VIRTUAL reaches $10. Some trackers show a 2.9M monthly unlock from it, but the wallet did not move on any of those dates.
No bankruptcy estate, trustee or court release holds VIRTUAL. There was no outside fundraising, so no investor lockups remain; the only other lock is the lockup contract in row 2.
Nothing buys VIRTUAL back to remove it. Agent trades pay a 1% tax that is swapped into VIRTUAL and paid to agent creators and to protocol wallets, but those wallets already count as circulating, so the coins only change hands. Buyback programs on the platform buy agent tokens, not VIRTUAL. Holder proposals for a revenue buyback in Dec 2025 did not pass.
The token has no burn function and fees are never destroyed. Total supply read exactly 1B at both ends, and the dead address on Base gained only about 0.25 VIRTUAL.
No treasury or foundation purchase of VIRTUAL was announced or seen on-chain in this window; the treasury multisig balance did not change.
Holders can lock VIRTUAL for up to two years to vote and earn agent-token airdrops. The lock held 22.37M VIRTUAL at the start and 21.49M at the end, so it shrank. Locked coins still count as circulating, so the lock takes nothing out of the float either way.
Two sides: how much people want VIRTUAL right now, and how much buying could come later.
It shows how hot VIRTUAL is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about VIRTUAL for one reason:
On Oct 19 2026, Virtuals Protocol said private agent payments are now live, built with PRXVT's px402. AI agents can pay for data and tools in USDC without every payment showing in public. People ask if more agent activity will lift demand for VIRTUAL.

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) is inflationary right now: its supply changes +0.04% over the next 90 days and +0.04% over the next year (checked Oct 18 2026). More VIRTUAL is added than removed.
About +0.04% a year: that is how much Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) supply changes over the next 12 months, with +0.04% in the next 90 days (checked Oct 18 2026). That puts VIRTUAL #76 of 101 coins we track for new supply (#1 = the most new supply).
The next Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) unlock we track is on Oct 24 2026: about 295K VIRTUAL, 0.04% of the VIRTUAL in circulation (Last lockup streams finish — can be claimed into the market). Checked Oct 18 2026.
Not in a way that removes VIRTUAL today: nothing takes VIRTUAL off the market over the next 90 days (checked Oct 18 2026). No buyback or burn of VIRTUAL. The 1% agent-trading tax is swapped into VIRTUAL but paid to wallets already in the float.
In our count, about 295K new VIRTUAL reaches the market over the next 90 days (checked Oct 18 2026). How it works: No minting (1B cap, owner renounced). An old lockup released 1.55M VIRTUAL in 90 days; 295K is left, all claimable by Oct 24 2026. The 340.65M treasury has not moved since May 2024.
About 658M VIRTUAL is in circulation (checked Oct 18 2026). Over the next 90 days that changes +0.04%, and over a year +0.04%.
Over the next 90 days (checked Oct 18 2026): VIRTUAL +0.04%, SEI +4.96%, XPL +15.07%, FF +18.22%. VIRTUAL has the least new supply of these 4 coins.
Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →
We look at two things: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand shows how much people want the coin. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss. VIRTUAL supply grows +0.04% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more VIRTUAL reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
One email before each big supply event, and the day our verdict changes. Nothing else. You can watch 2 coins for free.
