Still 40% below December highs but poised for recovery.
Despite lagging behind major cryptocurrencies, Polkadot (DOT) is showing signs of a rebound. The network currently holds a $11 billion market cap and offers a 12% staking yield.
Upcoming upgrades aim to rival Ethereum and Solana.
The Polkadot 2.0 initiative introduces Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, elastic scaling, and a unified address format. DOT will also become the universal fee token across parachains, enhancing utility in gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Double-bottom and falling wedge patterns signal bullish momentum.
Polkadot's chart reveals a double-bottom formation at $6 and a falling wedge pattern—both bullish signals. Breaking above the 100-day moving average suggests that DOT could rally toward $11.65, a 60% increase from its current level.
Stablecoin growth highlights increased adoption.
Polkadot’s ecosystem has seen a 400% increase in Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) holdings, surpassing $114 million. This growth signals rising developer and user engagement across parachains.
Polkadot could benefit from future regulatory support.
Polkadot, as an American crypto project, may gain from the Trump administration’s openness to supporting domestic crypto initiatives, possibly even earning spot ETF approval.
