The last quarter of 2023 saw an extraordinary increase in the worths of a number of crypto properties. Polkadot’s native coin DOT gained from the very same, as its flowing supply grew by over 100% throughout that duration.
Messari discovered,
“DOT’s flowing market cap increased 111% QoQ to $8.38 billion, more than double the general crypto market’s development of 54%. This Q4 development brought DOT’s YoY modification to 94%. DOT’s market cap ranks in the leading 15 amongst all crypto jobs.”
In addition, Polkadot logged a 2,880% rise in quarterly profits. For context, throughout the 90-day duration, the network’s income amounted to $2.8 million.
In the 2 preceding quarters, Polkadot’s profits was $97,500 and $94,200, respectively.
Messari kept in mind that the huge rally in Polkadot’s income in Q4 2023 was because of activity around engravings on the chain.
Messari discovered that there was a 4-day boom in Polkadot’s engraving activity in between the 20th and the 23rd of December, where its Relay Chain processed approximately 4.3 million everyday extrinsics.
