Crypto=community, and the more active the latter is, the higher the probability of the former thriving. Bitcoin is worth trillions because of the fervent BTC HODLers – both conservative and high risk – 1000X searching degens. Shiba Inu is fading but not gone, thanks to the millions of SHIB holders who shill the project every day. For Algorand crypto, however, it is a different story.
When BNB crypto and Solana host multi-million meme coins, there is nothing much to write about Algorand. Yet, even with a barely trending Algorand, the network is worth billions at press time.
Data shows that the smart contracts platform has a market cap of over $1.6Bn, and is more valuable than Pump.fun, which launched its TGE in Q3 2025.

Will Algoland Rescusciate Algorand Crypto?
Interestingly, Pump.fun is worth over $1.6Bn, and all it will take is another meme coin boom for PUMP, the native token powering the meme coin launchpad, to explode, perhaps pushing to the top 50.
PUMP tokenomics might help, and its dominance as the lead meme coin launchpad will also drive demand, providing the much-needed tailwinds.
For Algorand, ALGO crypto holders will be banking everything on how viral and successful Algoland will be.
Algoland is the latest campaign by the Algorand Foundation that gamifies ecosystem exploration. Active users participating in DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and more turn their onchain quests into rewards.
The campaign will run for 13 weeks, and the themes will change weekly. In the early stage, the challenge will center on wallet setup and referrals. In the second week, the focus will be on prediction markets through Alpha Arcade.
While analysts think the future of online gaming is in prediction markets, it may take months or even years before Alpha Arcade matches up with Polymarket. So far, on October 27, Alpha Arcade has a TVL of around $214,000, generating over $16,000 in fees in Q3 2025.

As part of the Algoland campaign, users will receive points at the end of each stage, and those who finish all tasks within a week are eligible for weekly prizes.

No, Algorand Is Not Dead: New Roadmap, Upgrades
Although Algoland might drive activity and transactions, ALGO crypto is not guaranteed to rise in tandem.
In the past 24 hours, ALGO USDT is stable, sliding -9% in the last month of trading.
The good news is that, unlike some of the best cryptos to buy, which are down year-to-date, the ALGO price is up +64% in the same period.
If BTC pumps above $118,000, it might lift top Solana meme coins as well as blue-chip altcoins, including ALGO.
A close above $0.20 opens up more opportunities for ALGO bulls to push prices above $0.24, reversing losses of October 10.
This price expansion will likely pump onchain activity, injecting life into Algorand. In turn, more users will explore and appreciate developers’ efforts in the past few months, signaling that Algorand is not dead.
For example, in June, the Algorand Foundation integrated the Wormhole NTT for smooth native token transfers across multiple chains without wrapping.
