The rapid growth of Polkadot $DOT ahead of the halving appears to be a typical market reaction to expectations of reduced issuance and changes in tokenomics. Such events traditionally boost investor interest, as decreasing supply often creates a scarcity narrative and stimulates speculative demand even before the actual event.
- Currently, the market is operating more on expectations than on the realized effect. Traders usually try to enter the asset in advance, which creates impulsive price increases. That’s why these movements are often accompanied by increased volumes and quick liquidity return to the asset.
However, historically, halving events often follow the "buy the rumor — sell the news" principle. Some participants may take profits immediately before or right after the event, which can cause short-term volatility or a local correction.
- The key question now is whether this current pump will turn into a long-term trend. If the growth is supported by ecosystem development, user activity, and genuine network demand, then the movement could continue. If the driver remains only hype around the event, the market may cool down after the news is realized.
In any case, the situation with Polkadot shows an important lesson: the market reacts carefully to fundamental changes in tokenomics, and events that affect the asset’s supply once again become powerful catalysts for price movement.
