Aptos Leads CoinDesk 20 Higher With 3.5% Gain as All 20 Assets Trade in the Green!

Aptos (<a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/apt">APT</a>) topped the CoinDesk 20 leaderboard with a 3.5% advance, pulling the broad-based index to 2130.2 — up 0.7% (+14.28 points) since 4 p.m. ET Thursday. Aave (<a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/aave">AAVE</a>) followed closely with a 3.2% gain, rounding out the day&#x27;s standout performers.

The breadth of the move is notable: all 20 constituent assets closed higher, with even the session&#x27;s laggards — Cronos (<a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/cro">CRO</a>) and Stellar (<a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/xlm">XLM</a>) — posting flat-to-marginal gains of 0.0% and 0.2% respectively. A clean sweep across the index suggests broad risk appetite rather than a rotation into a handful of names.

The CoinDesk 20 tracks the largest and most liquid digital assets and is traded across multiple platforms in several regions globally, making its uniform upside a useful gauge of overall crypto market sentiment.
