Polkadot, that once-proud titan of the crypto realm, has been languishing in the shadows, its price oscillating between $3.85 and $11.7 for three long years. While its peers—Solana, Binance Coin, and Tron—have been basking in the limelight, Polkadot has been relegated to the 22nd spot in the crypto rankings, overtaken by newcomers like Hyperliquid, Sui, and Toncoin. Yet, like a phoenix, it may rise from the ashes, and here’s why.
First, the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the watchful eye of Donald Trump, might just approve a spot Polkadot ETF. 21Shares has already filed for it, and if history is any guide, such approvals have sent cryptocurrencies like XRP and Litecoin soaring. Polkadot, currently languishing near its all-time low, could be next in line for a Wall Street-induced rally.
Second, the much-anticipated Polkadot 2.0 upgrade, featuring the Joint-Accumulate Machine (JAM), promises to combine the best of Polkadot and Ethereum. JAM aims to replace the Relay Chain, solving past issues like the high costs and isolation of parachains. Developers will be able to build applications directly, leveraging Polkadot’s high bandwidth, resilience, and speed—capable of handling over 140,000 transactions per second, dwarfing Solana’s 3,000.

Lastly, Polkadot’s technicals are looking robust. The chart below shows that DOT has been consolidating between $3.85 and $11.71 for three years, recently retesting the lower end of this range. This mirrors XRP’s recent surge and suggests accumulation, the precursor to the markup phase in the Wyckoff Theory. A breakout above the upper resistance could propel Polkadot to $23.5, a 365% increase from current levels.
So, while Polkadot may have been the underdog, it’s poised for a comeback. Whether it’s the potential ETF approval, the JAM upgrade, or the strong technicals, the stars are aligning for a Polkadot resurgence. Keep your eyes peeled—this could be the crypto story of the year. 🚀
