It can be used to develop highly scalable DeFi projects, institutional finance products, and government CBDC projects Algorand is used by hundreds of companies like Circle, IDEX, Republic, and Tether Future is bright if they can keep momentum going HOWEVER I see it merely as a speculative asset - buy low sell high but not a long term keeper due to the token inflation
