Now, Polkadot becomes 6th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, pushing Bitcoin Cash to the 7th position in its Market Capitalisation rankings. Polkadot’s market capitalisation is now $8.4 billion overtaking Bitcoin Cash whose market cap is $6.2 million.


Polkadot that’s launched less than a year ago, has managed to become a top ranked crypto by market cap within a week of its launch, overtaking much older and established blockchains like EOS and evolving project Cardano which is a big accomplishment.
