According to Morningstar data, SEBA Polkadot ETC (SDOT), which was established on the SIX Swiss Exchange in July by issuer SEBA Bank, rated first on the Top 20 list of ETPs in October with 52.38 percent.
The first three spots were taken by DOT, Polkadot's native token and a blockchain interoperability standard established in 2016. The coin is now valued at $53.27 as of November 5, 2021, after starting at $5.88 in November 2020.

The ETC, which was top among European-domiciled ETPs in September, dropped to second place last month and was one of the poorest performances.
