Polkadot was a good investment into the past, right now the market just ignored it, i would believe that whales are acumulating at cheap for the moment we enter into the Bull retard season.
Defi stolen the show from DOT, people are focus into new chains conected with exchanges, like Base, BSC.
I do remember aptos being forget and from one moment to another whales shake it up, the Dot time will come as well, but it stil a hot chain but the money isnt buying it yet.
