The Decline in Algorand Affected Algofi Deeply

Before the crypto markets underwent a protracted drop that saw ALGO fall as low as $0.09 last month, Algofi was established at the height of the previous bull market, when Algorand (ALGO) was trading at $1.85. The decline, combined with the SEC’s tough posture following its recent designation of Algorand as security, has slowed the development of DeFi ventures on the once-hyped blockchain.

According to DefiLlama data, Algorand‘s total value locked (TVL) is currently $59 million, a significant decrease from February’s more than $200 million. Consequently, this means the end of the DeFi protocol Algofi which holds 55% of the Algorand value.
