Dash (DASH) grew by 65% over the week and updated its three-year high.
Investor interest in privacy coins continues to grow, and analysts are already predicting DASH will rise above $100. Many believe the coin’s potential is not yet exhausted.
Why is the DASH price rising?
According to CoinMarketCap, Dash, the fourth largest privacy coin by market cap, has maintained an upward trend for a month, despite the unstable market situation. During this time, the token has gained about 190%.
On November 2, DASH reached $96.9 — the highest since May 2022. The surge occurred after the coin was listed on Aster, a decentralized exchange with perpetual contracts. The platform launched trading with leverage up to 5x.
Usually, listing on a new exchange increases token awareness, improves liquidity, and pushes the price up in the short term. But soon after the growth, DASH pulled back a bit.

DASH price forecast: why analysts expect $100 and above
The community sentiment remains positive: 82% of traders expect DASH to rise. This optimism is also reflected in forecasts. Many are confident the coin will break the $100 level.
Previously, analysts called $71.64 an important resistance level. Now that DASH has consolidated above this mark, the road to $100 and above looks more realistic.
‘A daily close above $71.64 could trigger strong growth. The first target is around $100, the next — $130,’ one analyst notes.
Another forecast points to the $100–140 range in the short term. Some experts do not rule out that with sustained interest in privacy coins, the DASH price could reach $250.
‘DASH has proven that privacy doesn’t end with ZCASH. The month started with a 100% rise, and now the coin is being actively pumped. Just like it was with ZEC,’ adds trader ACXtrades.
The rise of DASH is happening amid overall interest in privacy cryptocurrencies. This segment has become the most profitable in 2025.

According to Artemis, since the beginning of the year the privacy coin sector has grown by 186.8%, outpacing even BTC and ETH. The leader was Zcash (ZEC), which recently surpassed $400, but then corrected. For now, everything indicates that interest in privacy tokens remains, although questions remain as to whether this rally will continue or end as quickly as many other crypto trends.
