Polkadot Surges on Tokenomics Overhaul and Developer Activity

Polkadot's price has surged by 7.38% in one day, trading at $0.829, and is above its key moving averages. The upcoming tokenomics overhaul in March 2026 will introduce a hard supply cap of 2.1 billion tokens and reduce annual issuance by 53.6%, tightening programmed supply and fueling demand today.

The surge in developer activity after the rollout of Agile Coretime, with daily transaction counts leaping to 442, strengthens the case for future network utility and broadens the long-term outlook for the Polkadot ecosystem.

Despite overbought signals and resistance, DOT remains above its MA-20 ($0.797) and MA-50 ($0.774), but below the MA-200 at $1.152, reflecting mixed timeframe signals.
