Dash, created in 2014, was Litecoin’s most significant fork. It was an early winner among cryptocurrencies, reaching a peak of $1,051 in December 2017 and it almost landed in the top-10 coins by size. Since then, success has been sporadic. The coin hasn’t been able to differentiate itself from other faster-growing ones.
As 2021 rolls around, Dash will likely go up on Litecoin’s coattails. But will it reach top-10 again? That’s far less likely. Still, as an early coin winner, it’s worthwhile to keep on your radar. Second acts, as we know, happen all the time in crypto.
