The cryptocurrency landscape is witnessing dynamic developments as Algorand and Solana see significant progress, while BlockDAG’s innovative presale offer grabs attention. Algorand is bolstering its network through rising staking activity and real-world applications, with over $2 billion in ALGO staked representing a 60% increase since late 2024. Real-world usage scenarios like Lofty AI’s distribution of rental income and Lavazza’s on-chain coffee data further exemplify Algorand’s growth. Meanwhile, Solana is experiencing a DeFi surge with increased trading volume and high total value locked (TVL), pushing the price towards $178. 70% of the increase in trading volume comes from DEXs like Jupiter handling over $4 billion weekly, exceeding 100 million daily transactions.
