PolkaWorld’s proposal is rejected
PolkaWorld, the largest Chinese community in Polkadot, announced that it would soon cease operations. The community has been at a standstill for half a month due to the rejection of its proposal to apply for official funding.
The original proposal was introduced in August but was later rejected as the majority of voters voted against it. PolkaWorld also mentioned that there were issues with financial management under OpenGov, with many people being rejected and leaving the Polkadot ecosystem.

The good news was that POINT‘s price increase was accompanied by an increase in daily trading volume. The Open Interest also registered an increase over the past 24 hours.
Realistic or not, here it is The market cap of DOT in terms of BTC
When Open Interest increases, it usually means new money is entering the market for that option, meaning the possibility of a continued uptrend is high.
However, the token’s one-week price volatility declined slightly, which could pose a limitation DOTs price will not increase further. It was interesting to note that Polkadot, famous for its development activities, recorded a decline in that metric over the past seven days.
