This image shows today's key statistics for the Polkadot ( $DOT
) network and how its token supply is structured.
#Polkadot market capitalization is about $2.37 billion. Market cap represents the total value of all $DOT tokens currently in circulation.
The 24-hour trading volume is about $101 million, which reflects the amount of DOT traded across exchanges within a single day.
A higher trading volume usually indicates active buying and selling.
At the moment, around 1,673,554,555 DOT are in circulation. This figure represents the tokens that already exist and are available in the market.
The total supply is also about 1.67 billion DOT, meaning almost every token that has been created so far is already part of the circulating supply.
Polkadot now operates with a maximum supply of 2.1 billion DOT. This limit means the total number of tokens that can ever exist will not go beyond that number.
Since about 1.67 billion DOT have already been issued, roughly 427 million DOT remain to be released. These tokens will enter circulation gradually over time through staking rewards.
In practical terms, Polkadot now follows a limited supply model, where new tokens are added slowly but the total supply will always remain below the 2.1 billion $DOT cap.
