The cryptocurrency known as Dash, which stands for Digital Cash, prioritizes speed, privacy, and stealth in its transactions. Although it operates similarly to other coins, it has unique features that set it apart. Originally launched as Xcoin in 2014 and later rebranded as Darkcoin, it was finally renamed Dash in 2015 by its creator, Evan Duffield.
Dash utilizes a proof-of-work protocol to ensure speedy transactions, with tokens appearing on the blockchain within a minute and a half.
Its two-tier architecture involves miners using rigs to complete transactions and mining blocks, while master nodes provide additional services, such as anonymous and instant transactions.
To operate master nodes and earn rewards, users must hold at least 1000 Dash coins in their wallet and be online to secure the network.
OKX bans DASH coin
OKX, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it will be delisting more than 20 trading pairs next week as they no longer meet the exchange’s listing criteria.
The privacy tokens Dash (DASH), Monero (XMR), and ZCash (ZCH) have seen a dip in their value by as much as 10% due to this decision. Although OKX has not explicitly stated the reason for delisting these tokens, many speculate that it’s because they offer enhanced privacy for transactions.
Privacy coins are not favored by regulators as they make it difficult to track financial activity across their networks.
Technical Analysis and Prediction of the FIL Coin Price
The DASH coin price has slipped significantly after the OKX news. Currently, the coin is trading at the level of $33.7 after being rejected at the immediate resistance level of $38.8.
The bulls, however, took support from the 50 and 150-day Exponential moving averages (EMAs) which are at the levels of $32.3 and $31.8 respectively. The RSI on the other hand is showing a sudden drop in the bullish strength.
