When Cryptos Go Up, Everyone’s a Genius: Solana Soars 2.9%

by

Well, hello there! It seems like the CoinDesk 20 has decided to grace us with its presence once again, bringing along a delightful market update that’s as exciting as watching paint dry-only this time, the paint is digital and apparently quite volatile. 🎨

The CoinDesk 20, for those of you who haven’t memorized every financial index out there, is currently basking in the glow of a modest 0.9% increase, sitting pretty at 4184.47. Yes, that’s right, it’s up by a whopping 38.32 points since 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Break out the champagne, folks! 🥂

And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more thrilling, 15 out of the 20 assets in this illustrious index are actually trading higher. I mean, what are the odds? It’s like winning at rock-paper-scissors 15 times in a row. 🤷‍♂️

Leading the charge are our heroes of the day: Solana (SOL), which has managed to rise an impressive 2.9%, and Polkadot (DOT), not to be outdone, with a respectable 2.8%. If these numbers don’t make your heart race, you might want to check your pulse. 💪

On the other side of the coin (pun intended), we have the laggards: Chainlink (LINK) and Aave (AAVE), both of which have taken a slight dip of -1.3% and -1.2% respectively. But hey, even the best have their off days, right? 😅

The CoinDesk 20, for all its glory, is a broad-based index that’s traded on multiple platforms across various regions of the globe. It’s like the United Nations of cryptocurrencies, only without the diplomatic immunity. 🌍
