Dash continues to gain traction both at home and abroad

Dash is one of the cryptocurrencies that has been making huge strides despite the bear market affecting most cryptocurrencies. In the U.S, it is becoming a cryptocurrency of choice for payment of goods and services.

Venezuela is now its biggest market, with its low transaction fees and fast transaction time appealing to traders in the country. It has become particularly useful due to the high inflation affecting the local Bolivar currency.

Dash has risen by more than 3.36% over the past 24 hours to reach $201, making it the top performer amongst the top 15 cryptocurrencies.
