#DASH ($DASH ) has increased by 65% over the week and has reached a three-year high.
Investor interest in anonymous coins continues to grow, and analysts are already predicting a rise of DASH above $100. Many believe that the coin still has untapped potential.
Why is the price of DASH rising?
According to data from CoinMarketCap, Dash, the fourth largest anonymous coin by market capitalization, has maintained an upward trend for a month, despite the unstable situation in the market. During this time, the token has gained about 190%.
On November 2, DASH reached $96.9 — a maximum since May 2022. The surge occurred after the listing of the coin on Aster, a decentralized exchange with perpetual contracts. The platform launched trading with leverage up to 5x.
Usually, listing on a new exchange increases the token's visibility, improves liquidity, and short-term pushes the price up. But soon after the rise, DASH slightly retraced.

Price forecast for DASH: why analysts expect $100 and above
Sentiment in the community remains positive: 82% of traders expect DASH to rise. This optimism is also confirmed in forecasts. Many are confident that the coin will break the $100 level.
Previously, analysts named $71.64 as an important resistance level. Now that DASH has already settled above this mark, the path to $100 and above looks more realistic.
"Closing the day above $71.64 could trigger a powerful rise. The first target is around $100, the next is $130," notes one of the analysts.
Another forecast indicates a range of $100–140 in the short term. Some experts do not rule out that with stable interest in anonymous coins, the price of DASH could reach $250.
"DASH has proven that privacy does not end with ZCASH. The month started with a 100% increase, and now the coin is actively being pumped. Everything is as it was with ZEC," adds trader ACXtrades.
The growth of DASH is occurring against the backdrop of general interest in anonymous cryptocurrencies. This segment has become the most profitable in 2025.

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