Faced with Regulatory Pressure, Dash (DASH) Says Its Privacy Functionality “No Greater than Bitcoin’s”

Faced with Regulatory Pressure, Dash (DASH) Says Its Privacy Functionality “No Greater than Bitcoin’s”

Whether Dash (DASH) is a privacy-preserving cryptocurrency or not is somehow up for contention.

Dash Says It’s not a Privacy Coin

The recent de-listing of privacy-centric cryptocurrencies from major exchanges the world over has drawn considerable attention from the global crypto community.

It is speculated that pressure from financial watchdogs around the world forced crypto exchanges to take action against privacy-focused digital currencies that, according to some reports, are used extensively for committing cyber-crimes. However, other reports seem to suggest otherwise.

Regardless of the actual usage of privacy-centric cryptocurrencies for illicit activities, the crypto community hasn’t particularly been impressed by centralized exchanges’(CEX) decision to de-list major privacy cryptocurrencies such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash (DASH), among others.

Surprisingly enough, Dash now claims that its privacy functionality is “no greater than Bitcoin’s.”

Replying to a tweet by crypto exchange Bittrex that announced the delisting of XMR, ZEC, and DASH, Dash’s Twitter handle tweeted the following:

Essentially, Dash now claims that technically, its privacy features are no greater than those of Bitcoin. The project is now scheduled to have a meeting with Bittrex’s compliance team and hopes to get listed on the exchange again.

Shortly after the de-listing tweet, DashPay CEO, Ryan Taylor, started a tweet thread explaining how the cryptocurrency, at its core, is far from being a privacy-centric digital currency.

Bending to the Regulators Whims?

For Dash and its representatives to say it is not a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency is a little hard for the crypto community to digest.

As previously reported by BTCManager, Dash has cemented itself as the cryptocurrency of choice for Venezuelans who are having hard-time fighting hyperinflation caused due to international sanctions and unchecked money printing from the economically-troubled South American country’s central bank.

Further, on a recent note, BTCManager reported that Dash developers are poised to upgrade the protocol’s network to optimize its performance, enhance the user interface, and provide greater privacy and stability to Dash users.

Witnessing Dash give-in so readily to anti-privacy cryptocurrency regulations might be a cause for worry for crypto enthusiasts that are all about personal financial privacy and freedom.

Conversely, Dash trying to make its way out of the privacy-centric cryptocurrency list opens up room and market opportunities for other privacy-focused crypto projects vying to give competition to the likes of Monero and Zcash.
