A number of leading exchanges announced the listing of Polkadot’s blockchain startup token after the DOT unlock on Tuesday, August 18.
Investors получили возможность совершать операции с токенами на блоке 1 205 128. On the same day Binance сообщила о добавлении торговых пар DOT с криптовалютами BTC, BNB, BUSD и USDT. Ранее об аналогичных планах заявили в Kraken.
Позже Binance объявила о планах по листингу монеты на своей фьючерсной платформе. Пользователям будут доступны бессрочные контракты с плечом до 50x.

On August 21, at block 1 248 328 in the Polkadot network, a token redenomination is also planned, resulting in each current DOT being split into 100 new ones.
“We consider such actions irresponsible and, in the case of misleading advertising, possibly fraudulent. This certainly puts Polkadot token holders at risk,” the statement said.
It notes that Polkadot is now a fully decentralized project, and as such the team cannot influence third-party decisions. Binance and Kraken will carry out the redenomination according to the DOT developers’ plan.
The Polkadot mainnet launched at the end of May after three years of development.
The project’s token sale took place in 2017. Then it raised $145 million, selling 5 million DOT. But funds for development were not enough, and in 2019 the project conducted a second token sale. According to WSJ, after that the project’s market capitalization rose to $1.2 billion.
In late July it became known that Polkadot привлек additional $43.6 million in a private token sale.
