The @SECGov just confirmed it. $ALGO is a digital commodity. Not a security. Not a question. A fact.

@Stakely_io @ivorypay Exciting times ahead!

The @AlgoFoundation report is here! 🗞️ SEC acknowledges $ALGO as a digital commodity 🗞️ Aid Trust Portal brings real-time, on-chain humanitarian aid tracking 🗞️ 1,100+ people signed up for Algorand’s Web3 Masterclasses 🗞️ @ivorypay launches on Algorand Did we miss anything?

🧵 Big step forward in yesterday’s SEC token taxonomy guidance. Clear statement: ALGO is not a security. And it doesn’t matter where it appears. The substance is what counts. And to all those freaking out that AlGO was “only” mentioned in a footnote, a careful read of the guidance clearly shows that the footnote isn’t burying ALGO - it’s broadening the rule: The SEC used futures-linked tokens as examples in the body of the text, but made clear that’s not the test. That’s exactly where ALGO comes in 👇 ALGO is cited to show a token can be a digital commodity without underlying a futures contract. In other words: •Commodity status ≠ dependent on futures markets •ALGO qualifies on its own merits That’s a substance-based classification. And importantly, it’s stronger. And that’s exactly why the placement doesn’t diminish the impact. It actually clarifies and strengthens the reasoning behind the classification. @AlgoFoundation #algo #algofam

"Algorand already had the rails for global digital money movement. Brale adds the tools for anyone to issue it." — Devan Moorthy, Algorand Foundation Regulated Issuance | Programmable Infrastructure @brale_xyz | @AlgoFoundation Full Interview 👇

Today, the Algorand Foundation made the difficult decision to reduce our workforce by 25%. This decision was not taken lightly and is in response to the uncertain global macro environment as well as the broader downturn in crypto markets. These employees have been best-in-class contributors to this ecosystem and to the Foundation, and this was an incredibly tough decision. We are sincerely grateful to them, and we are, of course, committed to supporting them through this transition. We believe that we now have a more sustainable alignment of Algorand Foundation resources with the protocol’s long-term business, technology, and ecosystem priorities. We remain fully focused on our mission of financial empowerment and the continued development and growth of the Algorand protocol, network, and ecosystem.

Aid Trust Portal brings the promise of blockchain technology to life in the context of humanitarian payments. Today, we premiered the video at @sxsw and discussed the future of humanitarian aid with @mercycorps, @Visa, and @Refugees.

Check out the Aid Trust Portal: aidtrust.io

Aid programs get cut because donors cannot see where the money goes. The Aid Trust Portal changes that. Real-time, on-chain tracking of humanitarian aid flows on Algorand, with fraud detection built in and every transaction verifiable on an immutable ledger.

The @AlgoFoundation is at #SXSW in Austin today. Payments infrastructure, stablecoins, and real-world tokenization — this is the conversation the industry needs to be having. Good to see it on the main stage.

WOW Week 1 of the #Algorand Web3 Masterclasses is already complete! 🎉 We had 1,100+ people register, and the first two sessions are now finished. Here’s a quick look at how it’s going so far 👇

What if debt markets settled in seconds, not days? D-ASA brings programmable debt instruments to Algorand: atomic settlement, traceable lifecycle events, compliance controls built in, and zero counterparty risk DvP by design. See a demo of DvP settlement executing end-to-end on Algorand below 👇 Open source. Built with Algorand Python by @cusma_b

One thing people underestimate about Algorand is how cheap & effective it is to actually use. @BLOP_WORLD has pushed 250,000+ on-chain transactions in the last ~18 months via The Motherlode. Total network cost: about $30. Instant finality. Few chains make that possible.

Algorand CEO @StaciW_DC appeared on @TheSujalShow with @SujalJethwani to discuss the latest on Algorand. The amazing work of @MannDeshiOrg in India to expand financial empowerment using Algorand was highlighted during the discussion. Watch the full video below 👇
