AVAX Pumps 4% as BNB Forgets What Gains Are: CoinDesk 20 Daily

The CoinDesk 20 Index is having a green day, sitting pretty at 1968.28 — up 1.0% (+20.29) from yesterday's close. The market decided to remember what upward looks like, bless its chaotic little heart.

Eighteen out of 20 assets are in the green, because even crypto knows what a balanced portfolio looks like. Apparently, diversification isn't just a buzzword bankers use to sound smart at Davos.

Leading the charge: AVAX added a solid 4.0%, while HBAR followed close behind with a 3.6% bump. Avalanche is cooking, Hedera is catching up, and we're all just here for the volatility fireworks.

On the struggling end, BCH slid 2.1% — not great, not terrible. Bitcoin Cash continues its main character energy of doing absolutely anything but being useful.

And BNB? Well, BNB decided to show us what true neutrality looks like, holding steady at +0.0%. Zero movement, zero excitement, zero FOMO. BNB is basically the monk of the index.

The CoinDesk 20 is a broad-based index traded on multiple platforms across several regions globally. It's the ETF of crypto indices, if ETFs were also available on random DEXs for some reason.
