Algorand’s total value locked (TVL) has gradually dropped since March and now stands at $76.05 million. TVL is the amount of funds locked up by an ecosystem’s decentralized applications. A drop in TVL suggests that users are withdrawing their assets from the protocol as interest wanes.
On the contrary, the protocol’s stablecoin market cap rose over the same period from a low of $109.91 million to $110.38 million at press time. The statistics point to growing user interest in the protocol’s stablecoin market, which provides stability in a highly volatile market.

ALGO is recovering over the short term; however, the move is gradual. The general trend remains bearish as it seeks support.
ALGO’s immediate resistance level stands at $0.15. With the positive market momentum rising, a breakout is highly probable.
Per our Cryptopolitan price prediction, it remains highly unlikely for ALGO to break above $10 in the period ending 2030.
At $100, Algorand market capitalization has to rise above $700 billion form the current $1.2 billion. In comparison, Ethereum’s market capitalization is at $400 billion. Per our price prediction, Algorancd is highly unlikely to reach $100.
