Algorand Hits New All-Time Low Amid Market Downturn

Alrogrand (ALGO) made a new all-time low yesterday of $0.09, per CoinGecko data, amid a broad bearish move in the market. Alrogrand is a proof-of-stake based layer-1 blockchain launched in June 2019. The ALGO price was looking to establish support above the $0.11 since June’s breakdown. However, yesterday’s market slump dragged the token’s price to a new all-time low of $0.0905 yesterday. The token is now trading hands at $0.957, per CoinGecko. The blockchain was previously regarded as “great t...

Algorand and Flow Crash to All-Time Lows Following SEC Lawsuits

Although the SEC took official action against the world's two largest exchanges, it also chose to name a number of cryptocurrencies that it describes as unregistered securities, triggering a drop across many altcoins. Two of them—Algorand (ALGO) and Flow (FLOW)—fell to all-time lows over the weekend. Their inclusion in the SEC's actions has called their regulatory status into question, along with many of crypto’s leading altcoins, like Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), which have...

Did Gary Gensler Pull a Kim Kardashian by 'Shilling' Algorand?

Crypto Twitter honed in on the connection between SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and Algorand on Monday, after the agency filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex—claiming several tokens are securities simultaneously. Algorand was one of six tokens named in the lawsuit as alleged examples of “crypto asset securities” available to customers on Bittrex’s platform. They are an essential part of the agency’s claims—proof that Bittrex supposedly operated as an unregistered exchange, bro...

SEC Labels Algorand and Five Other Tokens as Securities in Bittrex Lawsuit

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) categorized six cryptocurrencies as securities in its lawsuit against crypto exchange Bittrex on Monday, highlighting them as potentially pivotal assets in an enforcement action against the Seattle-based firm. The crux of the SEC’s complaint against Bittrex is that the platform failed to register with the watchdog as an exchange, broker-dealer, or clearing agency—a requirement for offering securities to customers in a manner regulated by the Securitie...

This blockchain trilemma remains a major sticking point for blockchains today—and a number of projects have tried to resolve it. Algorand, a...
