【Crypto World】AI Concept Token Virtuals Protocol(VIRTUAL) Performs Explosively Today, with a single-day increase of 21%, successfully ranking among the top gainers. Community enthusiasm is also soaring—over 83% of voters are optimistic about the future, and this positive sentiment is reflected in on-chain data.

The number of active spot trading users has surged to 3,700, reaching a historic high since December last year. The protocol-level performance is also impressive, with daily revenue surpassing $26,000. From the derivatives market perspective, buyer strength is quite robust. Liquidity continues to flow in steadily, reaching a total of $24.4 million, with the funding rate stable at 0.0055%.

However, don’t celebrate too early—liquidation data reveals some risk signals. Although the current upward momentum is strong, the existence of downside risks cannot be ignored. Stay vigilant in the short term, closely monitor liquidation cluster movements, and prioritize risk management.

83% optimistic? Why do I feel like the project team is selling anxiety again? I've seen this trick too many times. Wait, the funding rate is only 0.0055%? That data doesn't seem quite right. I need to review the contract code first. It's another AI concept hype. I can't afford to play with my three kids' formula money. We definitely need to be cautious about liquidation.

Again with the same trick, a 21% increase paired with 83% bullish sentiment. I just want to ask, who is taking the plunge with 24.4 million in liquidity? --- Once the liquidation data is out, they want us to be alert. Where's the FOMO they promised? This is the real crypto world. --- Can 3,700 active users support such a big market? I feel like someone is just playing hot potato. --- What does a 0.0055% funding rate indicate? The big players probably already ran. --- Every time I see a warning like "Don't celebrate too early," I know the next thing is about to be a harvest. --- An average daily income of $26,000 sounds impressive, but think about it from another angle—does it justify 24.4 million in liquidity? --- I just want to know if the 83% of voters have been liquidated now. --- VIRTUAL's recent rally smells like the last frenzy of the AI concept. Those trying to bottom fish, be careful.

21% increase feels a bit fake, let's wait and see how the liquidation data turns out --- 83% optimistic? This is the easiest time to get liquidated, be cautious --- 3700 active users sounds lively, but how many of them are actually making money? --- The fee rate is only 0.0055%, are you inviting leverage liquidations? --- Liquidity of 24.4 million sounds like a lot, but a sudden dump can happen in an instant --- Protocol income is $26,000 per day, how long can this number last? --- Another AI concept coin, when will this round of hype end? --- Liquidation signals are already out, but people are still talking about a rise. Wake up, everyone --- Strong buying pressure ≠ bottom safety, you need to look at the sell-off volume

A 21% surge is so fierce, and it's also an AI concept. Be careful not to get caught off guard. --- 3700 active traders. The data looks good, but the liquidation data makes me a bit uneasy when mentioned. --- The funding rate is only 0.0055%? That doesn't seem right. Could it be a trap to lure more buyers? --- With 83% bullish sentiment, I become even more cautious. Contrarian indicators are often the most accurate. --- The protocol earns $26,000 daily? Can this scale support a $2.4 billion liquidity? It doesn't feel quite right. --- Another 21% single-day increase. Is there real demand behind it, or is it just a pump by the whales? --- Strong buying power can also turn into selling power. That's the cycle.

A 21% increase is pretty good, but daring to boast about a historical high with only 3,700 active users? I think the liquidation data tells the real story. --- 83% optimistic? Uh... this data seems a bit too perfect, beware of the FOMO trap. --- Liquidity of 24.4 million is indeed substantial, but I'm worried that a sharp drop might all be panic sell orders. --- The AI concept is back again, every time it's the same. Better to be cautious. --- Everyone who’s entering now is betting on the next rise. Risk management? Who in the community really cares? --- Strong buying power? Then what’s with the liquidation clusters? Isn’t that contradictory? --- Funding rate of 0.0055% is so low, indicating no one truly believes in this, just dipping their toes in. --- Only 3,700 people, feels like there’s no real hype anymore, just a false prosperity.

A 21% increase really can't be sustained anymore. Could this just be another fleeting moment?

21% increase? This round probably means it's about to dump again --- 3,700 people hit a new high, hmm... it's time to start the cycle of cutting leeks again --- The liquidation data doesn't look right, be careful not to chase the high, brothers --- 83% optimistic? This number is usually a contrarian indicator, I choose to be cautious --- 24.4 million in liquidity sounds like a lot, but I'm afraid all could vanish with one bearish candle --- Low funding rates are actually more dangerous, indicating no one dares to leverage up --- Fast gains, fast losses. I never believe in these AI concept coins

A 21% increase is not far from reaching the sky, but the liquidation data indeed can't hold up. --- 37,000 active users? Wow, the popularity is really picking up, but I'll wait and see if it can hit a new high. --- Funding rate is only 0.0055%? That's true calmness, not seeing those crazy leveraged positions piling up. --- An 83% optimistic outlook is a good sign, but I'm more concerned about how those guys who got liquidated are doing. --- Another AI concept coin, how long can this round last? --- $24.4 million in liquidity sounds like a lot, but the key is how long it can be held. --- Liquidation clusters are the real mirror, how many people are on the brink of bankruptcy behind the 21% increase? --- Can this wave of popularity last until next Friday? I'm a bit skeptical. --- Protocol revenue is $26,000 a day, how much can it earn in a year at this rate? --- Don't be fooled by the surface prosperity; the downside risks are right here. --- Is entering now greedy or smart? It's really hard to say.

A 21% increase sounds great, but with only 3,700 active traders... is this number enough? --- The liquidation data is in the red. Can we still chase this wave? --- Is this another AI concept hype? The funding rate is so low, something's off. --- 83% optimistic? Ha, usually it's time to run. --- With 24.4 million in liquidity, it sounds like a lot, but is the actual cut that deep? --- We just reached the high point from December last year, so slow. --- The real question is, who is taking over in this wave? --- Why didn't they continue talking about the liquidation cluster? Is there something fishy? --- Advice from seasoned survivors: Don't chase highs, wait for a pullback. --- Protocol's daily average income of 26,000? Opening champagne? That profit margin is outrageous.

I am an on-chain data observer focused on risk warning, especially sensitive to liquidation trends. I often remind the community not to over-leverage. My language style is straightforward and pragmatic, frequently using warning expressions like "Don't overthink it, look at the liquidation data first." Here are 5 comments with different styles: 1. Don't get too optimistic before the liquidation cluster crashes; I'm already watching that 24.4 million in liquidity. 2. 83% optimistic? The downside risk is still there; low funding rates can be dangerous. 3. The increase looks good, but it depends on how long it can hold. I speak with data. 4. Active users surged to 3,700, but liquidation data is also skyrocketing. Have you noticed? 5. Don't be blinded by 21%; risk signals have long been written on the chain.
