    Conclusions and insights

    In this dashboard we have explored the profile of the new wallets created on May as well as its behavior on Algorand network. The main insights extracted from the report are that these new wallets are basically a reflection of the hype generated by big events on crypto. The major of these wallets created an account on Algorand to do anything. The major of the wallets only holds between 0 and 1 ALGO, getting us an assumption that they only created the account for the big news of the FIFA announcement.

    Furthermore, we havee seen as well how the activity of these wallets have been poor so far. Only 0.14% of them performed some swapand the global average of ALGO holdings is around 100. Finally, taking a look at the other assets holded by these wallets, it seems like a great quantity of them are holding USDT and USDC. Then, it seems as well that the amount of ALGO holded by these wallets could be affected by the market volatility and the current bad crypto news and swapped their ALGO for stablecoins.
