Gloria AI unveils beta and token to power its agent-native news ecosystem

Key Takeaways

Gloria AI launched the $GLORIA token on Virtuals Genesis with over 660% pool oversubscription.
The platform uses AI to deliver curated, real-time data through customizable feeds.

Gloria AI, a new AI-native news infrastructure project, launched its $GLORIA token Wednesday on Virtuals Genesis, the new fair-launch platform from Virtuals Protocol.

The token launch coincides with the platform’s public beta rollout, opening access to Gloria’s programmable news feeds for developers, trading teams, and AI agents.

Gloria’s debut attracted strong demand from the Virtuals community. The early access pool surpassed 280,000 $VIRTUAL in total allocation, with more than 2,000 participants securing spots ahead of the token launch.

With the pool over 660% oversubscribed, the launch highlighted the growing momentum across the Virtuals ecosystem, where recent agent debuts have drawn strong interest from early participants.

That demand has been reflected in a 200% surge in Virtuals Protocol’s native token over the past 30 days, driven by growing activity on Genesis and renowned interest in AI agents.

The launchpad uses a points-based allocation system designed to favor long-term participants and limit speculative behavior, with recent Genesis launches generating returns between 5x and 30x.

Built by the team behind Crypto Briefing, Gloria AI is designed to deliver structured, verifiable news updates for infrastructure and data teams, market intelligence platforms, and agent ecosystems.

The platform uses a multi-agent architecture to process and curate real-time data from public, social, search, and on-chain sources, surfacing only the most relevant developments with ultra-low latency.

“We believe in the future of programmable media and AI-powered news,” said John Chen, CEO of Crypto Briefing and a core contributor to Gloria AI. “Gloria sets a new standard for how humans and AI interact with real-time, context-rich information.”

While traditional news outlets prioritize human-readable content and engagement, Gloria AI focuses on speed, structure, and contextual depth for machines.

Outputs are available via API and WebSocket feeds, with support for custom streams based on asset, theme, sentiment, and sector-level filters.

Developers can request access to the public beta by joining the waitlist on Gloria’s website, which currently offers early access to curated data streams, though monetization features such as pay-per-feed access and token staking requirements are not yet live.

According to the team, these will roll out later this year as part of a broader roadmap that includes a customizable dashboard (Q2), NLP-driven feed filters (Q3), and a public terminal (Q4).

Staking $GLORIA will be required to unlock advanced features and feed access. In addition, the token will serve as the core payment mechanism for API usage and credit-based data delivery. To support these features, the token follows a structured allocation.

The token supply is fixed, with 37.5% allocated to the public sale and 20% reserved for the team. Liquidity accounts for 12.5% of the supply, while 5% is allocated to marketing and airdrops, and 6% set aside for centralized exchange and liquidity provisioning.

An additional 15% is reserved for the treasury, and 4% is allocated to early backers. All allocations are subject to unlock schedules, with cliffs ranging from one hour to several months, designed to mitigate post-launch sell pressure and promote long-term alignment.
