Polkadot (DOT) climbed 1.9%, outperforming the CoinDesk 20 index’s 0.6% gain, following news that the network now supports USDC and direct withdrawals from Coinbase. The announcement helped fuel a technical breakout, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.

DOT advanced to around $1.91 over 24 hours, forming successive higher lows despite early volatility. Trading volume came in 17% above the 30-day average, signaling steady accumulation rather than speculative buying. The model identified solid support in the $1.87–$1.88 range, while institutional flows accelerated, with token volume reaching roughly three times the session average and keeping prices near intraday highs.
