What is Algorand and ALGO?

Algorand is a blockchain with the mission to end the need to compromise between scalability, security, and decentralization. The developers claim it’s secure, since it uses the latest cryptography, scalable, since it’s memory-efficient, and decentralized, since all network participants propagate it.

The Algo (ALGO) is the native currency of this blockchain which is necessary to secure the network. Any coin-holding account can be randomly picked for verification, without the need to stake ALGO, and its holder will receive rewards for validating transactions.

Since validators are chosen from coin holders and the balance defines the chances of receiving rewards, ALGO is considered a Proof-of-Stake currency.

In addition to that, ALGO has a part in governance and transacting, as well. You can read a deeper dive into Algorand in a tutorial from our blog.

History of Price of Algorand

ALGO Price in 2019–2021

The first portion of Algos on the market was distributed in an auction held by the Algorand Foundation. The very first ALGO was selling at $3.28, the still unreclaimed ATH (June 21, 2019).

However, since the cryptocurrency market had a global consolidation, 2019 closed with an average trading value of ALGO at $0.22. In 2020, it rose to $0.49 but then crashed to $0.14 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In July 2020, it managed to rise to $0.64 when Algorand 2.0 arrived. It pumped only to drop back to $0.4, the closing average price of 2020.

In 2021, Algorand was showing more promising results. Having started the year at $0.35 a piece, it rose to $1.75 on April 18 and then rallied to the yearly high of $2.83 on September 12. Both movements coincided with two legs of the Bitcoin bull run, but since it ended around the same time, the bullish action in the ALGO price ended as well.

2022 was the end of the market cycle that ended the bull run and saw most assets take a nose dive. Algorand was no exception, even despite the efforts of the Algorand Foundation. With the transition to a new, less centralized governance model, the Foundation’s influence on the ALGO price movements became weaker. Having opened 2022 at around $1.65, by its end ALGO was traded for only $0.17.

2023 did not turn out to be a more bullish year for Algorand than the one before it. From the bottom price, Algorand managed to grow to $0.278 but soon slipped back below $0.1. Late 2023 and early 2024 once again seemed to be promising when the ALGO price jumped to 24 cents in January and 32 in March.

Since then, though, the price of Algorand has winded down to previous levels. The current price of ALGO at the time of writing is $0.1397. It ranks 64th according to CoinMarketCap with a market capitalization of $1,148,508,157.

What Influences the Algorand Price?

Like many other cryptocurrencies, Algorand (ALGO) is influenced by the market sentiment. Moreover, on top of it, some extra factors work for or against the price of Algorand and can even cause it to move in the direction opposite to the market trends.

Protocol Development

To make the vision of an effective blockchain network a reality and solve the blockchain trilemma, Algorand puts some major work into protocol development. Some previous milestones that moved the price of ALGO are the 2.0 update, the Skybridge and Algomint bridges, and the transition to a decentralized governance model.

Earlier this year, the Algorand Foundation undertook a bold move to incorporate Python as its smart contract language. It is very uncommon for this programming language to be used like that but Algorand Foundation hopes to facilitate smart contract development for millions of developers worldwide with this decision.

Challenges

The legal status of Algorand regarding whether or not it is a security is up in the air, but not according to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Coinbase got into hot water for supporting ALGO trading on the allegations of offering unregistered securities.

A use case enabled by Algorand’s smart contracts that is most in use is stablecoins. Algorand is supported by a few stablecoin issuers to bring fiat-pegged tokens to more users. Among these issuers are Centre, Monerium, and the National Australia Bank. Not all stablecoins stick around though: in June, Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin USDT, announced they would stop supporting USDT on Algorand.

Controversies

Unfortunately, Algorand is no stranger to controversial news. In 2023, the news that MyAlgo wallet was allegedly exploited or hacked came to light. The potential damage was estimated to be $9.2 million. Algorand’s CTO took to Twitter to explain that the nature of the incident was not caused by a vulnerability with the blockchain or the SDK. The fallout of the hack was mitigated by one of the key features of Algorand: rekeying, or private key change.

More recently, Algorand caught the X users’ attention with an ad that boldly claimed it is the only daily-use-ready blockchain. In response, the crypto community raised eyebrows because a few months ago the official block explorer AlgoExplorer was shut down citing a lack of funding.

YouTuber Steph Is Crypto zooms out to a slightly larger time frame and gives a more long-term Algorand price prediction a few months in advance. By using Fibonacci extensions, he concludes that the bull run which will start this year, can take ALGO’s price to $1.04 in 2024.

Algorand Price Prediction 2025

Algorithmic crypto prediction service Previsioni Bitcoin projects modest growth of Algorand with several pullbacks during 2025. The next year, Algorand’s growth will accelerate, and so will there be more volatility. They forecast ALGO will rally to $0.8428 and show a buying opportunity at $0.45 in July.

CryptoNewsZ analyst David Cox is sure of the bright future of ALGO in both the short and long term. He is betting on slow organic growth of the price in the next several years and expects ALGO to land close to $0.57 by the end of 2025.

DigitalCoinPrice is moderately bearish as well but their estimates are more moderate. By 2025, the outlook on the expected average trading price of Algorand will not change significantly, albeit the volatility is expected to be more noticeable. The ALGO average trading price will stay in the range between $0.3 and the maximum trading value of $0.35.

Algorand Price Prediction 2026–2029

Expert opinions and estimates are more likely to turn out true in the near term. The further we try to glimpse the future, the more reliable price targets by algorithms that use historical analysis get.

In the case of Algorand (ALGO), the resulting targets vary significantly. While bears predict the ALGO price will decline even further, bears expect ALGO to hit double-digit prices in a few years.

Year Coinpedia AMB Crypto CoinDataFlow
2026 $0.268–0.9498 $0.94–1.42 $0.108733–0.481155

2029 $1.6742–2.5988 $8.07–12.10 $0.512334–1.38

Algorand Price Prediction 2030+

At the end of the decade, Traders Union cryptocurrency analysts are ready to assume that Algorand would have not made any major progress. In that case, the maximum expected price ALGO can warrant is $0.2984. A little further into the future, in 2034, ALGO will potentially reach only as far as $0.4811.

On the other hand, analysts of Coincu expect the relevance and value of Algorand to grow together with the blockchain sector. As a result, by 2030 the maximum ALGO price will have reached $4 and in ten years, the price of ALGO will be anywhere between $2.1 and 5.05.

CoinPriceForecast’s Algorand price prediction breaks the tie. According to it, it will take until 2030 for the ALGO coin to gain +165% and be traded for $0.37. Even if this prediction promises growth, the pace is more on the bearish side. As for the ALGO coin price prediction for 2034, ten years from now, they claim Algorand’s price will fluctuate between $0.44–0.46.
