According to @alice_und_bob, HOLLAR has launched (source: @alice_und_bob on X). Core Polkadot developers are discussing a Polkadot-native stablecoin referred to as pUSD on the Polkadot core developer GitHub (source: Polkadot core developer GitHub; source: @alice_und_bob on X). An open X Spaces discussion is scheduled for Wednesday 3pm UTC to address the topic (source: @alice_und_bob on X). Community debate on Twitter/X is already active around these developments (source: @alice_und_bob on X). For trading focus, DOT and Polkadot ecosystem token traders can monitor the Space for confirmations on pUSD objectives, development timelines, and any mentioned integrations, and cross-check any references shared to the Polkadot core developer GitHub for primary details (source: @alice_und_bob on X; source: Polkadot core developer GitHub).

According to @alice_und_bob, Polkadot users can now execute token swaps and other on-chain actions from a multisig using a phone, shared in a post on Aug 14, 2025, source: @alice_und_bob. The post characterizes this as a Polkadot UX improvement and includes a link to the tool enabling mobile multisig execution, source: @alice_und_bob. No technical specifications or usage metrics were provided in the post, source: @alice_und_bob. Traders may note this claim when assessing DOT ecosystem activity and DeFi tooling within Polkadot, source: @alice_und_bob.

According to @alice_und_bob, there is increasing discussion within the Polkadot community about lowering the network's inflation rate, as current DOT staking yields remain above 10%, making it challenging for DeFi protocols to offer competitive returns and attract liquidity (source: @alice_und_bob, May 16, 2025). High inflation is perceived as a 'tax' on DOT holders, potentially suppressing DOT price performance and DeFi ecosystem growth. Traders should monitor potential proposals or governance votes regarding inflation adjustments, as any move to reduce emissions could drive positive sentiment and price action for DOT and related DeFi tokens.
