According to @alice_und_bob, Polkadot stated there will only ever be 2.1 billion DOT, establishing a fixed maximum supply for the network (source: Polkadot official X post, Sep 14, 2025; @alice_und_bob on X, Sep 14, 2025). For traders, a hard cap allows updating dilution and fully diluted valuation models to a 2.1 billion DOT ceiling, improving clarity for pricing frameworks that emphasize scarcity and supply constraints (source: Polkadot official X post, Sep 14, 2025; @alice_und_bob on X, Sep 14, 2025). Portfolio and risk models can be adjusted to reflect capped supply when assessing DOT’s staking yields, emissions assumptions, and relative value versus other capped-assets in crypto (source: Polkadot official X post, Sep 14, 2025; @alice_und_bob on X, Sep 14, 2025).
