On the other hand, Wu Blockchain shared data updates via a recent<a href="https://x.com/WuBlockchain/status/1807942744125628510"> tweet</a> stating that, 
<blockquote>
 Polkadot’s financial report for the first half of this year showed that it spent as much as $87 million (11 million DOTs), $37 million of which was spent on marketing. The community criticized the high expenditure for not bringing the expected returns. At the current consumption rate, Polkadot’s funds can still last for about 2 years.
</blockquote> 
As per a recent CNF update, the <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/polkadot-community-thrives-with-active-governance-and-forum-growth/">Polkadot Forum</a> saw 244 new members and 995 new posts in May, showcasing strong community growth. Despite this, the price was down 3.09% at the time. Currently, Polkadot (DOT) trades at $6.41, with a surge of 0.86% in the past day and 10.52% in the past week. See DOT’s price chart below.
