Polkadot Lags While Crypto Hits New ATHs — DOT Under 10% of Peak
I'm seeing a broad crypto bull market: BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL and several others hit new ATHs, and many competitors to Polkadot are already halfway back to their peaks. That confirms market-wide strength rather than a general crypto weakness.
Polkadot (DOT) stands out as a clear laggard — it remains under ~10% of its ATH while peers recover far more. That suggests DOT-specific issues (rotation, investor attention, or fundamentals) rather than a failure of the overall bull cycle.
I remain cautious on DOT until I see clear on-chain or macro catalysts that explain the underperformance; for now I’m watching rather than buying into this asymmetry.
