🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Algorand (@Algorand) algorand:native has had a busy month. Here's what happened: 1. Leadership shake-up Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer Marc Vanlerberghe resigned on Oct 14, days after CTO Bruno Martins left. New CEO William Herkelrath is reviewing the Foundation's initiatives and partnerships. 2. A payment rail for AI agents Algorand named the winners of its Global x402 Challenge on Oct 22. Entrants ran paid services on mainnet that software can pay for during an ordinary web request. 3. VersaBank pilots tokenized deposits Canadian bank VersaBank is piloting tokenized deposits on Algorand. Canada's banking regulator says tokenized deposits are legally equivalent to regular bank deposits. 4. Stablecoins top $100M Stablecoin supply on Algorand, mostly USDC, passed $100M on Oct 27. That's its highest level since July 2025. 5. Supply cap stays at 10B The Foundation dropped plans to raise ALGO's 10B supply cap, raise minimum fees and capture MEV, and paused Project King Safety. Staking rewards stay in place through January 2028. 6.

It says it has now processed over 2.7M post-quantum transactions.
