With upgrades in the Polkadot ecosystem, cryptocurrency analyst @AltcoinSherpa has predicted capital rotation from Bitcoin and Ethereum to altcoins like DOT in Q4 2021.
I believe this is what's going to happen for many #Altcoins over the coming weeks when $BTC runs. Your alt/usd pairs consolidate/maybe go up a little bit while alt/btc pairs bleed into oblivion. Rotate to btc-->back to alts later on in late Q4. It's already begun for $DOT. $SNX pic.twitter.com/OzZQjovvR7

It's interesting to note that Kusama and Polkadot lead the crypto ecosystem in Github development activity. There are 465 new commits on Kusama and Polkadot.
The development team is working on building bridges with blockchains like EOS, Cosmos, Bitcoin and Ethereum to support token swap without the involvement of a centralized exchange.
Traders are awaiting the completion of Polkadot's launch. When the project takes parachains live, the connection of connected and secure layer-1 applications will be complete.
Proponents expect parachain launch to trigger a rally in DOT price.
