No single dated event in the next 90 days.
Nothing is minted. The Foundation keeps releasing its coins.
ALGO powers Algorand. All 10B coins were made at the start; 9.06B circulate and the Foundation holds the rest.
Sell pressure. Foundation wallets released 94.53M ALGO in 90 days through sales, grants and two big one-off payments, and paid 18.90M in staking rewards.
Buy pressure. Nothing is bought back or burned; the fee sink kept only 122K ALGO of fees.
Net. Net, supply grew about 1.25% in 90 days, about 0.77% next.
There is no minting: every block, the proposer is paid a bonus plus half the fees from the fee sink, a Foundation wallet outside the float. The bonus is about 8.26 ALGO a block and falls 1% every million blocks. In 90 days the sink paid out about 19.52M ALGO; 0.63M went to the Foundation's own validators, so 18.90M reached outside stakers. The Foundation refilled the sink three times (29.3M ALGO in total).
No investor or team schedule is left. The original release plan has ended; what is not yet circulating sits in Foundation wallets with no published calendar, booked in row 3.
This is the main source of new ALGO. 94.53M left Foundation wallets for outside hands: 36.36M through its selling wallet to a trading desk (Jul 10 to Aug 24), one 30.00M payment on Jul 17 that was passed on in 1M to 6M lots, one 12.63M payment on Sep 22, and grants, ecosystem and running costs. Still held: about 883M in treasury wallets, 29.5M in an old wallet, 20.5M in the fee sink and 3.6M in the selling wallets.
No estate, trustee or long lock is paying out ALGO. Staked ALGO stays liquid and is already counted as circulating.
No contract or treasury buys ALGO back. The Foundation sells ALGO; it does not buy it.
Algorand burns nothing. Fees go to the fee sink, which pays half of them back out to block proposers; the kept part is row 5.
No announcement or on-chain flow this window shows the Foundation or any project treasury buying ALGO.
About 2.02B ALGO is staked online, but staking has no lock and staked ALGO counts as circulating, so it takes nothing out of the float.
Every transaction pays a small fee into the fee sink, which sits outside the float. About 122,300 ALGO of fees came in over 90 days; the payouts in sell row 1 already include the half that goes back to proposers.
Two sides: how much people want ALGO right now, and how much buying could come later.
This part is based on social media. It shows how hot ALGO is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about ALGO for one reason:
On Oct 12 2026 Algorand told all node runners to upgrade to v5.0.3 as soon as possible. A change in an internet security key means older nodes cannot join the network again after a restart; nodes that are already running work fine. People ask if this was a risk for the network — it is a fix for restarts only, not a protocol upgrade.
Checked Oct 14 2026
By the law of supply and demand, Algorand's long-run signal is mixed (Oct 15 2026, score 4/10). New supply: +0.77% in the next 90 days. Demand: very weak (1.5/5). Algorand's price drivers: 1 ▲ price up, 1 ▼ price down.
XRP, by a wide gap. On Oct 10 2026 XRP scores 6/10 with demand 4/5, while Algorand scores 4/10 with demand 1.5/5. Algorand actually adds less supply in a year (+3.06% vs +4.62%), so the gap is about buyers, not new coins. Our supply-and-demand read for Algorand stays mixed.
Still building, though buyers look thin. Quantum-safe accounts are live, a new CEO is in, and Falcon-512 support is planned for late 2026. The worry is the Foundation pile, down from 1,891M to 1,036M ALGO since Mar 2024, with demand very weak at 1.5/5. By supply and demand, Algorand's long-run signal is mixed today.
At $10, Algorand would be worth about $90.6B in total — about 77 times its $1.18B market cap today (Oct 15 2026, about 13 cents a coin). Algorand's supply also grows +3.06% in the next year, so every extra coin needs buyers too. For Algorand, the supply-and-demand signal is mixed right now.
Algorand's signal is mixed for now. Algorand's signal would turn if new supply keeps arriving (+0.77% in 90 days), or demand falls from very weak, or Foundation ALGO pile keeps pointing down. The next date on Algorand's calendar: Late 2026 — Falcon-512 support.
Algorand sits at 4/10 today (Oct 15 2026): supply 2.5/5, demand 1.5/5. One more year adds +3.06% to Algorand's supply. Long-run signal: mixed.
By the law of supply and demand, the better time to enter Algorand is when its new supply is low, demand is high and its price drivers point up. Algorand today: +0.77% new supply in 90 days (moderate), demand very weak (1.5/5), drivers 1 ▲ / 1 ▼.
Right now 2 things drive Algorand's price (1 ▲, 1 ▼). ▼ Foundation ALGO pile: Foundation ALGO fell from 1,891M to 1,036M since Mar 2024. ▲ Foundation roadmap: Quantum-safe accounts live, new CEO; full quantum safety aimed for 2027.
Side by side on Oct 15 2026: Algorand at 4/10 with a mixed signal, Bitcoin at 8.5/10 with a positive signal. By supply and demand, Algorand is the weaker of the two.
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 →
We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. ALGO supply grows +0.77% 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.
