Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 19, According to The Block, the Algorand Foundation announced a 25% reduction in staff on March 18, 2026. The foundation stated that this layoff is a response to global macroeconomic uncertainties and the overall downturn in the crypto market, and is not a hasty decision. It is reported that the foundation has fewer than 200 employees. Currently, the foundation holds approximately $38 million in assets and 1.1 million ALGO tokens, with ALGO’s market cap around $805.8 million, ranking 78th globally. The foundation said it will continue to focus on the long-term development and ecosystem building of the Algorand protocol. This layoff is a reflection of the recent wave of layoffs in the crypto industry, with projects like OP Labs, Messari, and Block also announcing layoffs recently.
