The post Polkadot Mirroring Ethereum’s 2017 Rally – Why Buying DOT Now is like Buying ETH at $100 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Polkadot is showing renewed strength. Over the last 30 days, the DOT price has surged by 21.8%, and in the past 24 hours alone, it climbed 3.3% to hit $4.09.
According to popular crypto trader Friedrich, Polkadot is on track for a major transformation in 2025, one that could potentially mirror Ethereum’s early growth.
Let’s break down the latest trends and what’s driving this momentum.
One of the most anticipated updates, Polkadot 2.0 introduces the JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine) protocol. Friedrich highlights this upgrade as a game-changer, offering:
These improvements make Polkadot more scalable and capable of handling advanced dApps. The JAM Tour also includes a massive 10M DOT / 100K KSM prize pool to attract developers.
Polkadot is integrating smart contracts natively, simplifying dApp creation. This development makes the network more accessible to developers, much like Fantom’s recent upgrades.
Polkadot’s Agile Coretime enhances data availability with 233 MB/s speed, boosting the efficiency of Layer 2 solutions like vDOT.
Friedrich notes the 795K DOT reward pool for vDOT as a major incentive, suggesting strong utility and user engagement ahead.
Programs like Decentralised Voices Cohort 5 are giving more power to the community. Around 3,438 DOT have already been burned from Coretime sales — reducing circulating supply, which could positively impact the DOT price over time.

Polkadot is expanding into real-world sectors. Key partnerships include:
These integrations show Polkadot’s increasing relevance beyond just the crypto world.
Friedrich believes Polkadot is aligned with high-growth themes:
These focus areas position Polkadot as a strong contender for leading the next phase of Web3 innovation.
The DOT price may still be far from its all-time high, but with ongoing development, real-world adoption, and strong community governance, Polkadot is building a solid foundation for long-term growth.
If Friedrich’s prediction plays out, 2025 could be a breakout year for the Polkadot price — much like Ethereum’s early trajectory.
