DOT Eyes 170% Breakout as Nasdaq Sets to List Grayscale Polkadot
364
Polkadot (DOT) is on the verge of a massive breakout as institutional interest in altcoin-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gains momentum. With Nasdaq officially submitting a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to list and trade shares of the Grayscale Polkadot Trust (DOT), the stage is set for DOT to witness significant capital inflows, potentially driving a 170% rally.
Nasdaq Files to List Grayscale Polkadot ETF The cryptocurrency investment landscape is undergoing a major shift as traditional financial institutions increasingly embrace digital assets. In a recent filing, Nasdaq submitted Form 19b-4 to the SEC, requesting approval to list and trade shares of the Grayscale Polkadot Trust. If approved, this move will provide investors with a regulated and institutional-grade avenue to gain exposure to DOT.
Grayscale Investments, the asset management firm behind the proposed ETF, has been aggressively expanding its crypto product offerings. Alongside the Polkadot ETF, the firm has filed for a spot Cardano ETF and an XRP Trust conversion. Other potential digital asset ETFs, including those tracking Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Litecoin (LTC), are also being considered.
This filing follows a broader trend of growing institutional interest in crypto ETFs. In late January, asset manager 21Shares also applied for a spot Polkadot ETF, signaling heightened confidence in DOT’s long-term potential. The SEC now has 45 days to review Nasdaq’s application, after which it can approve, deny, or extend the decision-making process.
Technical Indicators Signal a 170% DOT Breakout As of the time of writing, Polkadot is trading at $4.40, up 1.4% on the day. The technical outlook for DOT presents a highly bullish scenario, with the asset forming a textbook falling wedge pattern—a historically reliable setup that has preceded major upward price movements.
A closer examination of DOT’s price action reveals striking similarities to its March 2024 trading pattern, where the token surged 170% following a breakout from a similar wedge formation. Historically, DOT has exhibited a strong tendency to rally after breaking out of falling wedge patterns, making this a key inflection point for traders.
Momentum indicators further reinforce the bullish outlook. DOT’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 37, indicating that the asset remains in oversold territory with significant upside potential. With buyer accumulation increasing and selling pressure waning, DOT appears poised to capitalize on this dip before an explosive breakout takes place.
