Why Algorand is down 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
Algorand (ALGO) slipped 1.2% over the past hour, likely reflecting muted or mixed market reaction to a broader industry commentary piece rather than a clear ALGO-specific catalyst. CryptoPotato reported Vitalik Buterin criticizing “fake” DeFi while discussing ETH-based “algo stablecoins,” which may not have provided a direct positive driver for ALGO in the near term (confidence: 57%).
