Dash crypto price has gone parabolic and is now hovering at its highest level since November 16. It has jumped by 150% from its lowest level in December last year, and is up by 405% above its 2025 lows. This surge has brought its market capitalization to $1.1 billion and its 24-hour volume to $625 million.

Dash Crypto Price Jumps as Privacy Tokens Soar

Dash, a top player in the crypto industry, has done well because of the ongoing demand for privacy tokens. Other similar tokens like Monero and Decred have also jumped in the past few months. The market capitalization of all privacy tokens has jumped to over $21 billion. 

Dash token jumped after it was listed on Hyperliquid, the biggest player in the perpetual DEX industry. This listing made it possible for traders to trade it on a 5x leverage. The coin was also listed by Aster, another top perpetual DEX network. 

Dash is also rising after being added on AEON, a top omnichain payment settlement layer. This addition made it available to over 50 million merchants globally. It is also available in companies like Travala and Bitrefill.

Meanwhile, data shows that the number of DASH tokens sent remains much higher than earlier this year. DASH tokens worth over $40 million were sent on Saturday, up from the January low of $8.7 million. That is a sign that more people are using Dash for its privacy features.

Dash jumped as the futures open interest soared to over $250 million, its highest level this year. It has soared from the year-to-date low of $40 million. Soaring futures open interest is a sign that demand is rising.

The weekly chart shows that the Dash crypto price remained in a narrow range between $18 and $73 between 2022 and late last year when it staged a strong comeback.

It soared and reached a high of $150 in November, reaching its highest level since 2021. That is a sign that it remained in the accumulation phase of the Wyckoff Theory.

It has now moved above the 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the key resistance level at $73.67. Therefore, the coin will likely continue rising, potentially to the psychological point of $100, followed by the 23.6% retracement at $130.
