Polkadot cuts annual DOT issuance and launches dotUSD stablecoin with liquidity pool

Polkadot has reduced its annual DOT token issuance from 120 million to 55 million starting March 14, 2026, and capped the total supply at 2.1 billion DOT under Referendum #1710. Additionally, Referendum #1944 has been executed to create a protocol-owned dotUSD stablecoin and establish a DOT–dotUSD liquidity pool, allocating $2.5 million in USDT and $2.5 million in DOT to support this. These changes aim to control token supply and introduce a new stablecoin to enhance liquidity and utility on the Polkadot network. The current supply and usage details of dotUSD are not yet available.

Polkadot's DOT token trades at Rp20,277 on Pluang as of Oct 17, 2026 20:02 WIB, down 3.55% in the last day. The market cap stands at Rp35.2 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp2.88 trillion.
