These new agreements follow a hectic year for the platform, which saw the inclusion of the top two stablecoins in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT). ALGO is well-positioned to see potential development as the blockchain industry sees continuing acceptance and the crypto market rebounds from its recent steep fall, as seen by a growing number of network collaborations and investments from mainstream financial firms.
