Algorand
Why Algorand is down 4.1% today
Analysis
Algorand (ALGO) fell 4.1% over the past 24 hours despite a related headline that could be read as constructive: CryptoPotato reported Vitalik Buterin criticizing “fake” DeFi while backing ETH-based “algo stablecoins.” With no clearly ALGO-positive catalyst in that coverage and the piece being only loosely connected to Algorand itself, the market may have treated it as neutral-to-negative for ALGO in the near term (confidence: 57%).
