x402's weekly payment volume has reached an all-time high! From the trend chart, you can see there was a period of inactivity, but now it's back in action. One of the key driving forces behind this is the Virtuals protocol, which accounts for over 50% of the transaction volume. Virtuals offers an 'AI Agent Factory + Marketplace,' while x402 provides the 'payment rails.' The two are deeply integrated. The more active Agents are on Virtuals and the more they need to call external services, the more x402 payments are triggered. With the explosion of Virtuals agents and deep integration, x402 has achieved a weekly ATH after its quiet period. Base serves as the settlement layer, while Virtuals is the true engine for traffic and use cases.
