Polkadot ETF: The Rollercoaster Ride of Crypto Dreams and $4 Support! 🎢💰

by

In a world where dreams of digital riches dance like shadows in the twilight, 21Shares has taken a bold step forward, submitting an updated S-1 application for the elusive Polkadot exchange-traded fund to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Ah, the initial application, a mere whisper in the wind, was filed over a month ago, but who’s counting? 🤷‍♂️

On March 6, the crypto asset manager, in a fit of optimism, presented an updated version of its S-1 application for the spot Polkadot (DOT) ETF to the SEC. This was not the first tango; the initial registration statement had graced the SEC’s desk on January 31. Perhaps this March filing is a desperate attempt to appease the SEC’s insatiable appetite for more information. Who knew bureaucracy could be so… demanding? 😅

With this filing, 21Shares joins the ranks of Grayscale, which, in a similar act of bravery, filed to list a spot Polkadot ETF with the SEC on February 25 through Nasdaq. It’s like a crypto club where everyone wants to be the last one standing! 🥳

These Polkadot ETF filings are not mere coincidences; they are part of a grand trend where asset managers are flocking to the SEC like moths to a flame, seeking approval for crypto ETFs. 21Shares, not content with just Polkadot, has also recently filed for ETFs targeting Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL). Meanwhile, they continue to offer Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs, as well as a smorgasbord of exchange-traded products. Talk about a buffet of digital assets! 🍽️

Meanwhile, the price of DOT seems to be playing a game of charades, forming a falling wedge pattern on the weekly chart. This bullish reversal setup, characterized by lower highs and lower lows converging into a narrowing range, suggests that the sellers are losing their grip. If DOT breaks above the local resistance zone of around $10, it would confirm the wedge breakout. But beware! The critical support level is around $4, and if crossed, it could send DOT tumbling back to the previous major support at $3.60. As of now, DOT is trading at around $4.5, with a 24-hour volume of over $255 million, according to Coinmarketcap. What a wild ride! 🎢

In addition to the potential approval of the Polkadot ETF by the SEC, the price of DOT may find itself buoyed by the much-anticipated launch of Polkadot 2.0 in Q1 of this year. This major upgrade to the Polkadot network is designed to enhance scalability and developer accessibility. An early testnet version is already available on the Kusama network, allowing developers and users to experience and provide feedback on the new features before the official release. It’s like a sneak peek into the future of crypto! 🚀
