The spot $DOT ETF just saw its first net inflows in two months!
@21shares spot @Polkadot ETF clocked +$359k in net inflows on June 8.
While still small, this marked the products first day of positive flows since as far back as April 13.
$TDOT now holds more than 1 in every 200 $DOT tokens and, if inflows continue, this metric could increase significantly.
Monero is the only major crypto whose founder is still completely unknown.
How it started:
- be an anonymous poster on Bitcointalk
- username: thankful_for_today
- April 2014
- launches BitMonero
- an implementation of CryptoNote
- community disagrees with his direction
- forks him out in days
- project is renamed Monero
- (“coin” in Esperanto)
- founder disappears forever
The protocol itself comes from another ghost:
- CryptoNote whitepaper (2013)
- author: Nicolas van Saberhagen
- also anonymous
- introduces ring signatures + stealth addresses
- never identified
Since then, Monero has no founder to arrest
Just a community.
2014–2016: survival phase
- small dev group forms
- fully volunteer
- mostly anonymous
2014–2019: Spagni era
- Riccardo Spagni (fluffypony) becomes lead maintainer
- not the founder
- never claimed to be
- focuses on hardening
- community governance
2020: network-layer privacy
- Dandelion++ implemented
- transaction propagation obfuscated
- IP privacy improved
2022: the unpopular but correct decision
- main emission ends
- tail emission begins
- 0.6 XMR per block forever
- critics scream “infinite supply”
- devs explain incentives
2023–2024: pressure phase
- regulators target privacy tools
- Tornado Cash sanctions
- dev arrests elsewhere
- P2P survives
2025: stress tests
- hashrate concentration scare
- community responds
- mining decentralization improves
- chain continues
January 2026: still alive
- Fluorine Fermi v0.18.4.5 released
- Ledger fixes
- FCMP++ in roadmap
- next-gen privacy
- New ATH
Satoshi disappeared by accident.
Monero’s founders disappeared by design.
who here is a Monero bro? I wanna follow people that contribute a lot to the community
I reopened my mini Monero discussion group and it's in my bio
let's connect
For years, people said @Polkadot had “great tech but no ecosystem.” In 2026, $DOT it's great tech with huge ecosystem
Polkadot Hub.
REVM.
Agile Coretime.
DePIN growth.
Identity systems.
Stablecoins.
AI-native developer tools.
The infrastructure phase is slowly turning into the product phase.
Most people still see the old Polkadot.
But under the surface, the ecosystem flywheel is finally starting to spin. $DOT🚀
THORChain va intégrer $XMR nativement d'ici juin 2026.
Ce que ça veut dire pour vous :
→ Swap X→ XMR sans passer par un exchange
→ Liquidité profonde et décentralisée
→ Pas de KYC, pas de compte, pas de gel possible
73 exchanges l'ont exclu.
Un protocole décentralisé l'intègre.
La tech gagne toujours. $XMR
$DOT is quietly entering a very different era.
Max supply cap of 2.1B DOT.
Inflation moved from the old 10% model to around 3%, with a 2-year stepped reduction.
24–48 hour unbonding coming.
But the bigger story is not just tokenomics.
Parity is building products for people.
Polkadot Name Service.
Bulletin Chain, where you can host webpages/files without relying on centralized IPFS pinning services.
Polkadot app tooling, where devs can build apps without needing to understand all the core infrastructure.
AI-friendly SDKs, where AI itself can help build apps because the stack is easier to understand.
Then add PoP.
Proof of Personhood becomes the human layer.
Identity. Reputation. Fair access. Sybil resistance.
Now imagine one Polkadot app with millions of users.
Then thousands of apps coming after that.
500ms reponse time coming
A decentralized computer where any service, task, or program can run without depending on centralized platforms.
People are still looking at DOT like it is just staking yield.
I think it is becoming the asset at the center of a real Web3 operating layer.
March was a big month for $DOT:
-Supply cap enacted
-Issuance cut by 53.6%
-DAP launched
Validator set grew 5.7%-
-$1.7B+ stablecoin depth
-Staking participation above 52%
We pulled all the on-chain data together:

#Polkadot#DOT
"Is Polkadot dead?"
65 active parachains. ~500 monthly devs. Smart contracts live. First US spot ETF on Nasdaq. Supply cap confirmed. Unbonding dropping to 48 hours. JAM testnet running.
The price fell from its peak. The building didn't stop.
