Algorand (ALGO) on a Hot Streak

So far in 2022, Algorand (ALGO) has scored a range of tantalizing partnerships, starting with music sharing platform LimeWire, and following it up with decentralized music platform VYBE. Moreover, Algorand (ALGO) completed the purchase of trademark music platform Napster.

Supplementing its impressive music industry ventures, Algorand (ALGO) announced the partnership with FIFA on May 5th, 2022. The company is set to be one of two blockchain sponsors in Doha, Qatar this November, alongside Crypto.com.

Be that as it may, the blockchain’s native coin Algorand (ALGO) has been struggled since mid August, recording a 16% deficit to date. Despite slowly regaining its position with a 5.9% weekly increase, $ALGO is still trading poorly at $0.301419, according to CoinGecko.

New blog! @napster was on the forefront of music technology two decades ago. Now, Napster is going back to its roots and will launch a decentralized music ecosystem on the #Algorand blockchain. Read on to learn more https://t.co/gqI7yiEXcC
