Algorand
Why Algorand is down 4.1% today
Analysis
Algorand (ALGO) fell 4.1% over the past 24 hours as market reaction to Ethereum-focused commentary may have offered little direct support for ALGO demand. CryptoPotato reported Vitalik Buterin criticizing “fake” DeFi while backing ETH-based algorithmic stablecoins, a framing that centers Ethereum rather than Algorand and may have weighed on sentiment toward ALGO (confidence: 57%).
