The impact of AI agents extends beyond traditional crypto operations. They can be used in 

 analysis and security protocols. By automating complex processes and providing data-driven insights, AI agents optimize crypto operations and drive innovations to reshape the digital economy.

Virtuals Protocol is a decentralized platform that facilitates the co-ownership, deployment and operation of AI agents across various applications. Its primary purpose is to transform AI agents from passive tools into interactive, revenue-generating assets. The protocol supports two distinct types of AI agents:

Virtuals Protocol uses blockchain technology to enable co-ownership and deployment of AI agents in gaming and entertainment. The project’s architecture is based on contributors and validators, each one playing vital operative roles. Contributors provide models or IP, generating Contribution

Floki Debit Card Launches, Allowing Crypto Spending Worldwide

Tomarket’s decentralized marketplace offers its users a huge range of trading features. Learn more about how it works in this article.

When you start to get into the world of investing, it can feel a little overwhelming. There are countless types of assets, and you often need to switch between platforms to purchase them. 

 hopes to simplify this by becoming a one-stop shop for investors. Its unique blend of trading, gaming and other money-making opportunities makes it an exciting place to look for profitable investments. How do you trade on Tomarket? Here's what you need to know.

Tomarket is a decentralized marketplace that offers users a huge range of trading features. Its platform lets people buy and sell 

, cryptos, bonds, pre-market tokens, game currencies and more.

Tomarket's origins are somewhat mysterious. The project was initially managed by Oliver Tomassi, who claims to be the founder, but since his social media accounts have been suspended, he hasn't released any additional information about how Tomarket was developed. Furthermore, no white paper for Tomarket has been published.

Since Tomarket’s release in July 2024, the project has gradually evolved from a standalone game to a full marketplace. Though not much is known about the people behind the project, it does have some prestigious backers, having 

Tomarket may have started out as a simple Telegram game, but it has big ambitions, aiming to become an all-in-one platform for gaming, earning and trading. While working on its gaming project, the Tomarket team realized that there was a growing demand for the ability to trade unusual assets. Investors were interested in emerging asset types, such as 

, pre-generation tokens and risk-weighted crypto assets. However, there weren't many sites that offered ways to trade these assets.

 financial institutions aren’t equipped to trade these novel assets. Its team hopes to create a more convenient and user-friendly way of trading. In the long run, Tomarket hopes that providing a trading platform will make it easier to determine accurate pricing for assets, and make it simpler to trade complex investments.

The core Tomarket system runs on the Telegram app, and is 

, which it uses to verify transactions in a secure and affordable manner. Meanwhile, interaction with Tomarket is through an interface on the Telegram app, so you don't have to use any complex technology. The Telegram Tomarket app is also integrated with the Bitget Wallet, so users have a seamless way to transfer assets. 

Tomarket offers the following features for users to explore.

The Tomarket app provides an exciting way for users to play games and earn tokens. Via the app, you encounter a tomato-themed growing game that assigns players tasks. Those who complete these tasks receive Tomato points that can be converted into tokens.

If you want to trade the TOMATO tokens you’ve earned through the game, Tomarket's listing season is your chance. Initially started in the fall of 2024, it will run through winter. During the listing season, users can receive TOMA tokens and eventually trade them. It will also include features such as weekly rewards for active community members.

In addition to letting people earn TOMA tokens, Tomarket also includes a trading platform for users to buy and sell a variety of tokens. Its 

 (DEX) includes both traditional tokens and other crypto assets from a variety of different platforms. In the future, Tomarket has indicated that it will be pivoting its project to focus on the ability to trade tokens instead of prioritizing games. Therefore, this all-in-one platform is eventually likely to see a lot of new features.

The TOMA airdrop consists of a game users can play on Tomarket. Users can play the TOMATO Farming game to earn TOMATO points that convert to Stars, or play a drop game to earn Stars directly. These Stars are then used to determine weekly rankings, and higher-ranked players will earn more TOMA tokens when the airdrop starts. People will then also be able to stake TOMA tokens to be eligible for even more airdrops. 

 within the crypto community. After Tomarket’s hyping of a token generation event on Oct 31, 2024, some users were disappointed to realize that they could only 

 tokens and couldn’t withdraw them. However, after running another unexpected farming phase, Tomarket eventually announced it would be distributing actual tokens in December 2024. Currently, users can continue to stake and farm tokens in preparation for the listing on Dec 20, 2024.

 to help keep users up-to-date on its development. So far, the team has successfully released a game, added some trading options and created support for a variety of TON wallet types. Up next is the Dec 20, 2024 token listing. 

Though Tomarket hasn’t revealed what's next for 2025, its blog hints at some potential plans. As the platform pivots to trading a variety of token types, it will most likely need to implement additional trading features, which may include new assets being listed on Tomarket and more streamlined ways of routing orders. 

TOMA is the native token of Tomarket. It’s primarily a coin to trade, but some users believe it may also be used for governance votes in the future. TOMA has a total token supply of 350 billion tokens. Like many of the other features on Tomarket, the TOMA token will run through TON’s blockchain. 

Most of the total token supply is reserved for the Tomarket community, as 

 will be going toward airdrops. Ten percent of the tokens will be reserved for liquidity, and 5% each will be used for platform development and to compensate the Tomarket team.

TOMA holds potential promise. Its core concept as an all-in-one platform for trading crypto does address a real need for crypto investors, and could gain it a lot of users. However, the project also has some 

. It hasn't provided a white paper or any other details for investors to peruse, and its putative founder disappeared from social media right before the big token launch. Furthermore, Tomarket's delayed airdrop has led to some frustration that’s alienated some of its user base.

Ultimately, this is the sort of crypto that's good for investors looking for a high-risk, high-reward option. It might not pay off, so it's not worth putting all your money into. However, those who back it could potentially see some big returns. While you'll need to exercise some caution, TOMA could be a good fit if you have money to spare and want a more diverse portfolio.

Tomarket's pivot from a Telegram game app to an all-in-one platform for investing is a big move. While the site does need to show that it can successfully deliver on all its promises, Tomarket could become a valuable part of the trading space. In the long run, the ability to trade a variety of assets from different platforms in a single, united space would be extremely convenient.

Crypto Insights

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing an influx of speculative trading, particularly with meme coins like DOGE, PEPE and BONK experiencing extraordinary gains.

November 2024 has marked a significant milestone for Bitcoin, with its price soaring to $94,105. This unprecedented growth has been driven by global events and heightened social media discussions, with predictions of six-figure valuations. Historically, peaks in social media chatter often precede market corrections, signaling traders to exercise caution. Currently, while whale accumulation remains strong — with wallets holding over 10 Bitcoin adding 53,006 more BTC in just one month — retail traders remain surprisingly cautious. This wary sentiment contrasts sharply with the bullish behavior usually seen during price surges, suggesting a potential correction.

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing an influx of speculative trading, particularly with meme coins like DOGE, PEPE and BONK experiencing extraordinary gains. Despite their volatility, these tokens reflect a broader appetite for high-risk investments. Notably, whale investors holding 1M–100M DOGE are accumulating, while smaller holders are selling, creating conditions for potential breakouts. However, if new capital stops flowing, these speculative assets could face significant downturns. Additionally, while discussions around Bitcoin reaching $100K are increasing, they haven’t reached the levels seen earlier this year, indicating that fear of missing out (FOMO) may not yet be fully realized.

Institutional Interest and Ethereum's Resurgence

Demand for Bitcoin ETFs has surged, with daily trading volumes hitting a record $8.21 billion, signaling increased institutional interest. This activity often coincides with market peaks, but could also indicate new investments flowing into the crypto space. Meanwhile, Ethereum has also gained momentum, breaking above $3,100 for the first time in over 14 weeks. Additionally, whale accumulation is on the rise, suggesting that as Bitcoin leads the market, profits may soon be redirected into Ethereum. In contrast, Solana's price movements remain highly sentiment-driven, with funding rates indicating potential entry points for investors. Overall, altcoins are experiencing growth, particularly following the U.S. elections, which have reignited optimism in the crypto market.
