About the polkadot price
DOT is the native coin of Polkadot, a network for connecting blockchains founded by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, launched in 2020. The live price is published only when two independent feeds agree (TradingView's real-time exchange price, Yahoo Finance and CNBC's Coin Metrics reference rate). Crypto trades around the clock, so the daily change and the history use the close at midnight UTC.
