Sell pressure. 84.28M left Foundation wallets in 90 days, mostly sales and two large single payments, and stakers got 18.75M from a Foundation-funded reward pot.

Buy pressure. Nothing is bought back or burned; the fee sink kept only 114.1K ALGO.

1. Protocol inflation
~18.75M ALGO

No new ALGO is ever minted. Instead, the block producer earns a bonus of about 8.2 ALGO per block plus half the block's fees, paid from the fee sink, a Foundation wallet the Foundation tops up. Over 90 days the sink paid about 19.38M ALGO, and 18.75M of it reached stakers outside the Foundation. The bonus shrinks 1% every million blocks, so the next 90 days pay about 18.22M.

2. Vesting unlocks
0

All 10B ALGO were created at launch in 2019 and the early-backer vesting finished in 2024. Unlock trackers show nothing left on a schedule.

3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks
~84.28M ALGO

84.28M ALGO left Foundation wallets for outside wallets in 90 days: 29.12M to its selling desk (most of it from Jul 17 to Aug 24 2026, small lots since), a single 30.0M payment on Jul 17 2026, a single 12.63M payment on Sep 22 2026, and 12.53M of grants, xGov awards and costs. Next 90 days we count the steady part, about 41.65M. Still held by the Foundation: 876.66M in treasury wallets, 29.53M in an old wallet, 18.07M in the fee sink and 3.64M in its selling wallets.

4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy

No bankruptcy estate, trustee or long lock holds ALGO. Everything outside the market sits in the Foundation wallets counted in row 3.

Buy pressure
1. Programmatic buyback
0

Nothing buys ALGO back, and no ALGO came back into Foundation wallets from the market this window.

checked · Oct 15 2026
2. Protocol fee burn
0

ALGO has no burn. Fees are kept by the fee sink and half are paid back to block producers, so they are counted in row 5 instead.

checked · Oct 15 2026
3. Foundation buy
0

The Foundation sells and spends ALGO; nothing this window shows it, or any other treasury, buying ALGO.

checked · Oct 15 2026
4. New long-term lock
0

About 2.02B ALGO is staked, but staking on Algorand has no lock and staked coins still count as circulating, so it takes nothing out of the float.

checked · Oct 15 2026
5. Fees kept by the fee sink
~114.1K ALGO

Every transaction fee goes to the fee sink, which sits outside the circulating count: about 114.1K ALGO in 90 days, roughly 1,270 a day. That is about 900 times smaller than the 103.03M ALGO that reached the market.

ALGO · Coin Demand

Two sides: how much people want ALGO right now, and how much buying could come later.

1.5 / 5Very weak

Current demand1.5 / 2.5

It shows how hot ALGO is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.

#50 · Oct 15 2026

Today, people are talking about ALGO for two reasons:

  1. 1
    Algorand named the winners of its x402 payments challenge.

    On Oct 22 2026, the Algorand Foundation named the top 20 of 115 projects that took real USDC payments for AI and data services on Algorand. They share 500,000 ALGO, and ten finalists pitch on Oct 30 2026 for another $100,000. People ask if pay-per-use AI payments can bring steady use to the network.

  2. 2
    Algorand pushed its quantum-safe story again.

    On Oct 21 2026, the Algorand Foundation wrote that most blockchains use keys a future quantum computer could break, with some guesses as early as 2029. Algorand says it has used a quantum-safe signature since 2022 and added post-quantum accounts in 2026. People ask if this safety story can help ALGO after a drop of about 7% this week.

Algorand (ALGO) supply: questions people ask

Is Algorand (ALGO) inflationary or deflationary?

Algorand (ALGO) is inflationary right now: its supply changes +0.66% over the next 90 days and +2.64% over the next year (checked Oct 15 2026). More ALGO is added than removed.

What is the ALGO inflation rate in 2026?

About +2.64% a year: that is how much Algorand (ALGO) supply changes over the next 12 months, with +0.66% in the next 90 days (checked Oct 15 2026). That puts ALGO #58 of 101 coins we track for new supply (#1 = the most new supply).

When is the next ALGO token unlock?

No dated Algorand (ALGO) unlock is scheduled in the next 90 days (checked Oct 15 2026). New ALGO still arrives: about 59.9M ALGO in 90 days.

Does Algorand burn or buy back ALGO?

Yes. In our count, about 114K ALGO is expected to leave the market over the next 90 days through burns, buybacks or locks (checked Oct 15 2026). How it works: Nothing is bought back or burned. The only removal is fees kept by the fee sink: about 114K ALGO in 90 days, about 900 times smaller than what reached the market.

Where does new ALGO supply come from?

In our count, about 59.9M new ALGO reaches the market over the next 90 days (checked Oct 15 2026). How it works: No ALGO is minted. 84.3M left Foundation wallets in 90 days (29.1M through its selling desk, single payments of 30.0M and 12.6M, plus grants and costs) and the fee sink paid 18.8M to outside stakers.

How much ALGO is in circulation?

About 9.07B ALGO is in circulation (checked Oct 15 2026). Over the next 90 days that changes +0.66%, and over a year +2.64%.

Does ALGO have more new supply than GT, KCS or POL?

Over the next 90 days (checked Oct 15 2026): ALGO +0.66%, GT −1.95%, KCS 0.00%, POL +0.29%. ALGO has the most new supply of these 4 coins.

Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →

How does MrNasDog judge every coin, and why is +0.66% shown in red?

We look at two things: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand shows how much people want the coin. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss. ALGO supply grows +0.66% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more ALGO reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.

What do Watch ALGO alerts cover?

One email before each big supply event, and the day our verdict changes. Nothing else. You can watch 2 coins for free.
