Altcoin in Virtual Reality Metaverse Surges 24% in 24 Hours After Crypto Project Teases New Apple Vision Pro App

An under-the-radar virtual reality metaverse altcoin teased an upcoming app release on the new Apple Vision Pro headset and surged by more than 24% in a matter of hours on Friday.

Victoria VR (VR) is a blockchain-based virtual reality metaverse powered by the 3D creation tool Unreal Engine.

The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) advertises realistic graphics, a digital real estate marketplace and non-fungible token (NFT) trading.

The project’s native token, VR, was trading around $0.0347 when Victoria VR teased a new release on the Apple Vision Pro just before 6 am PST on Friday.

By around 9 am PST, it had surged to a high of $0.0432, though it has since partially retraced and is trading at $0.0374. The 256th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is also up nearly 66% in the past seven days.

The Apple Vision Pro is the tech giant’s first 3D camera. It launched in US stores on Friday and offers immersive viewing for games, shows and movies.

Additionally, the Seychelles-based crypto exchange giant Bitget listed VR in its innovation zone on Friday morning.

Despite the token’s price gains this week, VR remains nearly 94% down from its all-time high of $0.616, which it set back in December 2021, according to CoinGecko.
