CoinDesk
The CoinDesk 20 Index traded at 1646.0 on Thursday, up 2.7% (+42.96) since 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Eighteen of the 20 constituents closed higher, with AAVE leading at +10.1% and Bitcoin Cash second at +5.8%. HBAR (-1.0%) and XLM (-0.6%) were the day's only laggards.
AAVE's move stood out well ahead of the rest of the field. A double-digit single-session gain in the DeFi lending heavyweight usually tracks a broader risk-on rotation rather than protocol-specific flow, and it lifted the index by more than its 5% weight would suggest. BCH's 5.8% push added a second non-major cap to the leaderboard.
