Algorand’s price moved sideways this week, mirroring the performance of most altcoins following Donald Trump’s inauguration. Algorand (ALGO), a top layer-2 network, was trading at $0.4165, about 16% below its highest level last week. The coin has several encouraging fundamentals that could push it higher in the coming days. According to Nansen, the number of active addresses on the network rose by 56% over the last seven days to 892,786, giving it the third-highest weekly growth rate after Arbitrum and Blast. Another on-chain metric shows that Algorand’s transactions increased by 6.9% to over 11.4 million, while its weekly fees rose by 20% to nearly $15,000. These numbers indicate strong growth for the network, a week after launching a key upgrade. The Algorand 4.01 upgrade introduced the ability for consensus participants to opt-in to incentives and added a feature allowing developers to build zero-knowledge-proof applications on the network. More data shows that Algorand’s total value locked in the decentralized finance industry is recovering. It climbed to $155 million, up from its monthly low of $126 million. Most of this growth was driven by Folks Finance, which has over $260 million in assets.
