Algorand is a proof-of-stake blockchain and cryptocurrency. Algorand's native cryptocurrency is called ALGO.
The SEC has filed several lawsuits alleging ALGO is a security which is subject to regulation under U.S. securities laws, along with a few other crypto assets.
Algorand may also refer to the private corporation based in Boston, as well as to the nonprofit Algorand Foundation Ltd., incorporated in Singapore.
