Market Metrics and Expert Insights on Polkadot’s Strategy

Did you know? Polkadot is among several blockchain networks launching institutional platforms, emphasizing real-world asset tokenization—a strategy previously undertaken by Polygon with notable success.

According to CoinMarketCap, Polkadot (DOT) is currently priced at $3.77, with a market cap of $6.07 billion. Over the past week, DOT has decreased by 9.77%, but it’s gained 9.43% over 60 days. Trading volume recently declined by 17.42%, amounting to $317.82 million.
