I have difficulty obtaining such information myself, both for Dash and for Bitcoin.
For Bitcoin i did find a geographic-specific traded volume, but no specific transaction numbers : https://coin.dance/volume/localbitcoins/VES

Note : that geographic-specific traded volume of Bitcoin is severly on the decline

Update 1 :

The only reliable transaction history with Dash in Latin America region seems to be coming from George Donnelly, who is using an auto-updating transaction tracker (created by Dash Retail)
for his recent Dash Latam’s budget proposal. Dash Latam operates in Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil and Spain and data of that tracker goes back to early august 2019, when that transaction
tracker was activated. Maybe wearthy of a bookmark, as it actually provides some solid Dash transaction data in Latin America.
Note though that this transaction tracker is apparently still an alpha software version.

Update 2 :  

Some transaction feedback from Dash Text (which i believe are currently operating in Venezuela and Colombia) :

Update 3 :  

Looks like the "DASH MALL AND PARKING: 1500 organic TXs/Mo, 2000 new wallets, growth of Dash ecosystem in western Venezuela with 1st Parking program in the world by CabiDash" budget proposal
that recentely got its funding approved by the Dash DAO, will also be using a transaction tracker.

This is not what DASH community has to worry about, because DASH has good algorithm to fight against those sorts of attack. There are some people naively think that bitcoin is the King, and outstanding in crypto currency ecosystem, but they don't realize that there are some good altcoins that bring innovations for blockchain industry, such as Ethereum, Monero, and DASH.

If someone actually worry about that, why not switch their regular transactions from Bitcoin to DASH? Fees are much cheaper, instant send, and more advantageous things with DASH transactions.

I agree that there is no crypto can replace the King position of Bitcoin, but it is neither true nor smart to keep using Bitcoin as main coin for daily transactions.

BTW, if you have, please share the data on transaction history of bitcoin and DASH in Venezuela.

Can Bitcoin Survive “China Mining Pool Attack” Without ChainLocks?



Bitcoin may be vulnerable to an attack on mining pools based in China despite a decentralized enough hashpower, giving credence to technology like Dash’s ChainLocks even for large hashrate coins.

Looks like the United Kingdom (UK) is getting increasingly more hostile towards cryptocurrencies that offer privacy to its users. 
CEX.io is based in the UK by the way. Coinbase UK recentely delisted Zcash as well, pressured by its new banking partner (Dash was not listed on Coinbase UK)

Over 1,000 Have Paid With Dash for Car Parking At Venezuela Shopping Mall



A shopping mall parking garage in Venezuela that recently began accepting Dash payments has now processed over 1,000 payments in Dash.

Announced earlier this month and debuted in mid-July, the parking garage at the Milenium shopping mall in Mérida in western Venezuela integrated Dash for processing payments. This has been facilitated by the Dash Cabimas team, which has also set up a method for selling Dash to potential customers so that they may immediately use it to pay for parking. To date, the parking garage has recorded over 1,000 payments with Dash, an average of about 23 per day. This has only taken into account a single location at a single shopping mall, which also claims several other merchants accepting Dash, whose transactions are not counted in this figure. This current figure is up from 697 reported transactions when first reported on the 13th of August.

Thank you tranthidung, for the update on Dash's "vitals" (hashrate, volume, active number of masternodes).

hashrate : interesting to see it fluctuate like that, i suspect its closely connected to Dash mining profitability & to Dash mining difficulty & to Dash ASIC miners having hit the market a few years back
volume   : indeed a strength of Dash, it kept a decent amount of traded volume (150-200 million USD), throughout the whole bear market
active number of masternodes : Dash ATH with regards to total number of active masternodes is 4,967 and Dash has slowly been creeping back up to that number (currently at 4,899). This is a very good sign for Dash



  

Update:

Network hashrates:
Total hashrates reached its all time high at 4.1897P in 17 July 2019, then fell to 3.481P as of writing. It means total hashrates decreased around 17% from its all time high. I would like to see hashrate capitulization in weeks to come, because it will be a very good support for price.

Volume
If you notice well, you will see that when DASH hit its all time high in DASH/BTC pair, its total volume was around $74.807.500 on 19th Mar. 2017. After that day, DASH daily volume has never stopped increasing, and total volume for last 24 hours is $143.438.997, around two-fold higher. It is impressive signal of growth. Did you really notice that growth, within recent months, and for future?
Moreover, there is a spike in daily volume, that occured in late of May (you can see in above chart, but you will see that spike more clearly in below chart). I still don't remember what happened that day. Reasons probably came from Chain Lock release to prevent 51% attacks that caught more attention from investors and their capital flow; and from b2bx exchange
Compared volume between Bitcoin, DASH, and Litecoin show very similar parttern.

Total active masternodes
Total active masternodes (last 90 days) on DASH network has rallied well since its latest drop from 4945 to 4685 (260 masternodes turned off), but most of them have been upgraded because current active masternodes are 4900. There are only 45 masternodes have not yet upgraded and returned to actively operate.

Yep, Dash has indeed huge communities. Communities that even in time of a severe bearmarket, can energize themself into organising a community convention like the one in
Europe (end of September 2019) and have the option available to ask its own decentralised budget system for funding. Its also interesting to see so many partners of Dash participathing
in the Dash Convention Europe 2019.

Budget proposal :

https://app.dashnexus.org/proposals/dashconventioneurope2019/overview

Also its indeed good news that Antonopoulos acknowledge ChainLocks as novel and interesting. ChainLocks not only gives Dash protection against 51% attacks, it also gives
Dash a differentiating factor between all the proof of work cryptocurrencies. Looking back Dash made some smart moves in the past :

* Dash kept its privacy on transactions optional, so it would not get stuck in a niche market like other privacy-centric cryptocurrencies now find themselves. They are now facing increased regulation
   attention on their privacy model, while at the same time not getting enough traction on their private transactions.

* Dash focussed on making payments fast, low cost and secure by making instantsend default on all transactions without any additional fee.

* Dash focussed early on through its budget and governance model on setting up and supporting globally on-the-ground communities / teams, specifically in those countries that were either facing hyperinflation
   (Venezuela) or had high operational costs in certain markets (intermittances market and the legal cannabis market for example) .

* Dash is making sure its ready for the future by developing Dash Platform, where additional products and services can create new use cases and by developing more user-friendly wallets to users and merchants.
   Not to mention DAPI (Decentralized API), DashDrive (Decentralized storage of meta data) and upscaling (if ever necessary) On-Chain by increasing either its blocksize to higher then 2mb size or by increasing its
   hardware requirements for its masternode network. Dash future looks bright.

Antonopoulos is a big name in crypto, so hist statement (positive) on DASH and its chainlocks to prevent 51% attacks is actually a very good news for DASH community. They have one more reasons to keep investing (accummulate more cheap DASH) and holding their coins for months to come. Besides technical innovation to fight against 51% attacks, DASH has huge communities, globally, and when right time comes, those communities will give DASH huge momentum to take off.
