No discernable reason for the rise so do be careful.
Added to BTC38 is a discernible reason. AFAIK, that is our first major Chinese exhange.
We are on Bter since a long time and are with BTC38 not just since today

I stand corrected...
Yes, but Tungfa, are you suggesting that we have NOT
just been added to 38??
i checked with some chinese and they told me this is old news !?!
Maybe your source was confused? Because we definitely were not trading on BTC38 until very recently. They use to have an informational page about Dash since forever, but no real trading pair until now. Which is a nice development should help with Chinese access to coins.
propably
our guys are not looking at them too much due to
'no trading fees' (not listed on CMC)
so there is more fake volume and PnD going on

good news anyway
BTC38 is counted for volume on CMC, you can look at DOGE for example that is their primary source for volume. I have requested CMC to add the new BTC38 DASH/BTC pair to our stats. Hopefully they do that soon.
