Polkadot Surges on Decentralization Narrative and Revived 2.0 Story

Polkadot (DOT) surged by 3.4% over the last ~17 hours due to a mix of decentralization and narrative factors.

A new article highlighted Polkadot's strong performance in the Nakamoto coefficient, a metric for decentralization, where it surpassed other major blockchains.

This news piece was amplified by traders in social feeds, providing a fresh fundamental hook for dip buyers and relative-value traders.

The decentralization narrative was complemented by the revived 'Polkadot 2.0 / JAM' story, which emphasizes the network's architecture changes and potential for high throughput.

Technical setups and trader positioning also contributed to DOT's move, with some accounts spotting a breakout from a falling wedge pattern.
