Algorand (CCC:ALGO-USD) may have just become the cryptocurrency face of drone racing. The Drone Racing League (DRL) and metaverse game developer Playground Labs selected the Algorand blockchain as the host of its first play-to-earn drone game. Consequently, Algorand price predictions are running hot today as crypto bulls ponder the future of the growing sport.
How exactly does the ALGO crypto tie in with drone racing?
The DRL has stated the current concept will see players racing DRL drones while earning cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). While DRL manufactures and runs real-life drone races, the game will presumably consist of virtual drones. The digital rewards will be facilitated through Algorand, as a clear progression in the metaverse concept.
This isn’t the first association between Algorand and the DRL, either. In September, New York-based DRL inked a $100 million sponsorship deal with Algorand, beginning in its sixth season. DRL has grown substantially over its now seven-year existence. It has earned media deals with NBC Universal and Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), and a number of high profile sponsorships, including with the Air Force. It seems drone racing and Algorand are a match made in heaven.
ALGO is up more than 2% to $1.77 per coin so far today. Let’s see what the experts think about the crypto’s future potential.
