Polkadot (DOT), one of the top Layer-1 blockchains that’s popular for its interoperability and a parachain network, is gaining new attention from the market this October. As the network activity increases and sentiment around the crypto ecosystem enhances, investors are closely observing whether or not DOT will be able to surpass its Layer-1 opponents over the coming weeks.

European Academic Partnership (23 October 2025)

On October 23, 2025, The Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) in collaboration with the Polkadot Italia DAO announced the launch its strategic partnership with Politecnico di Milano’s Blockchain & Web3 Observatory.

This groundbreaking initiative, approved by the DOT community through the OpenGov governance system, marks an important step towards positioning the altcoin as one of the leading infrastructure for institutional and enterprise-level adoption across Europe.

Analyst Highlights Polkadot’s Long-Term Potential

In a recent X post, crypto analyst Klea highlighted Polkadot’s strong Web3 foundation and role in the next market cycle. She also noted that as ETF capital flows into basically solid projects, the altcoin stands “at the center” of this change. The post recommends a potential 20x growth for DOT in the upcoming bull run, describing it as “not just hype, but math.”

Technical Outlook

The EMA 200 of DOT is around $3.61, which is below the EMA 200. This indicates a bearish long-term trend for the altcoin. This suggest that the sellers are in control and the market may face resistance around the EMA 200 if it tries to rise.

The RSI of DOT also indicates a bearish momentum.  The RSI values of 39.17 and 35.82 suggest that the coin is not yet oversold and there might still be some downward pressure.

Polkadot’s strategic European partnerships and strong Web3 foundation position it as a key player for institutional adoption. Technically, DOT shows consolidation near key support levels, with RSI indicating a neutral market and EMA 200 acting as a strong trend indicator. Combined with analyst projections of up to 20x growth, DOT appears well-placed for the upcoming bull cycle.
