Technical breakout – Bullish MACD and RSI signal momentum
ISO 20022 compliance – Positioning as institutional blockchain standard

Deep Dive
1. Primary catalyst
The ISO 20022 narrative gained traction after crypto influencers highlighted Algorand’s compliance with the global financial messaging standard (Austin Hilton). This aligns with the Fed’s July 14 adoption of ISO 20022 for Fedwire, boosting speculation about Algorand’s role in institutional blockchain adoption.

3. Supporting factors
Institutional staking: Expanded partnership with Hex Trust allows regulated entities to earn yields (Hex Trust)
Wormhole integration: July 1 launch of cross-chain token transfers boosted DeFi interoperability prospects
Altcoin rotation: CMC Altcoin Season Index surged 200% monthly as Bitcoin dominance fell to 60.13%
