Today, Nov. 4, 2025, Dash (DASH), an old-school privacy-centric cryptocurrency, is the best performer in the top 100 largest cryptos. In just 24 hours, the Dash (DASH) price spiked by over 50% and reached highs unseen since mid-March 2022.

After this excellent run, the Dash (DASH) price peaked at $145.95. The capitalization of Dash (DASH) added $1 billion in three days and peaked at an unbelievable $1.8 billion. Dash (DASH) is now the 73rd largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

This spike happened on very big trading volume. With over $2 billion in equivalent traded in 24 hours, the DASH jump also contributed to the liquidations wave today.

In the last day, a total of $1.34 billion positions were erased from the market; 88% were longs. The bulls are decimated by Bitcoin (BTC) slipping below $105,000 on major spot exchanges.

Dash (DASH) is the first hybrid cryptocurrency to merge the benefits of the proof-of-stake (PoS) and proof-of-work (PoW) consensus designs. Introduced as a privacy-centric fork of Litecoin (LTC) — which was in turn the lightweight fork of Bitcoin (BTC) — Dash (DASH) garnered much attention in the 2017 bull market.
