Polkadot price could continue its downtrend
With three days left in the current parachain slot auction, Centrifuge has taken a lead. Proponents believe that the project could win the slot auction.
124 million Polkadot tokens, about 10.7% of the altcoin’s issuance is locked in a crowdloan. Over 25% of Kusama tokens are staked in crowd loans. Historically, an increase in staked tokens reduces the circulating supply of the altcoin. Shortage in supply fuels a bullish narrative for the price.
Over 10% of Polkadot’s circulating supply has been locked in crowdloans, creating a shortage and fueling a bullish narrative for the Ethereum-killer’s price.
The Polkadot network recently revealed plans to improve its interoperability with the help of Moonbeam, a new smart contract platform.
Analysts have evaluated the Polkadot price trend and predicted that the altcoin could continue its downtrend.
@Pastore1314, a crypto analyst and investor believes that the Polkadot price has bullish potential in the long term.
