Polkadot is among the top blockchains, securing a spot in the top 20. Even though the platform promotes blockchain interoperability, a feature needed in the age of increasing fragmentation, DOT prices have failed to inspire bulls.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Polkadot Treasury Reserves Down To All-Time Lows<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unyielding bears have been forcing prices lower over the months since DOT rose to around $10 in Q1 2024, depleting the Polkadot Treasury Reserves. <\/span><\/p>\n

The daily chart shows that DOT has critical support at around $3.8. This level marks September and October lows. On the other hand, the coin is facing strong liquidation pressure at $4.6 and $5. <\/span><\/p>\n

A lot depends on whether DOT prices will recover, which will,<\/span> in turn, help the Polkadot Treasury reserves recover. Technically, prices play a big role. When bulls take over, the reserve, denominated in DOT, increases in USD terms, easing pressure on the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Policy Intervention To Boost Funds<\/span><\/h2>\n

To further increase inflows into the Treasury Reserves, the Polkadot community <\/span>passed<\/span><\/a> a policy to reduce inflation. Specifically, the community voted to drop DOT annual inflation from 10% to 8%. <\/span><\/p>\n

With low inflation and sustained on-chain demand, DOT prices may find support. Additionally, 15% of staking rewards distributed from stakers will be moved to the Treasury. <\/span><\/p>\n

The analyst predicts these changes could boost the Treasury by adding 1.5 million DOT. This will be the much-needed infusion of funds that may increase the Treasury Reserves after months of low income.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The team could build better and even strike quality partnerships, improving the blockchain’s ecosystem. Based on H1 2024 <\/span>data<\/span><\/a>, the team spent most on outreach, while nearly 27% went to development.<\/span><\/p>\n
