Avalanche (AVAX) Leads CoinDesk 20 Rally With 16.2% Surge—Broad Crypto Market Rises

Avalanche (AVAX) just smoked the competition—posting a blistering 16.2% gain as the entire CoinDesk 20 index flashed green. No coins left behind? Even the usual laggards caught a bid.

Why AVAX? Layer-1 chains are back in fashion—or maybe traders just needed somewhere to park bags after that last SEC lawsuit. Either way, the ‘ETH killer’ narrative got fresh oxygen.

Market-wide momentum: Every single asset in the index climbed. No exceptions. Even the ‘stablecoins are boring’ crowd had to admit—liquidity’s flowing again.

Warning: Past performance guarantees absolutely nothing in crypto. Especially when Wall Street’s algo-traders are just one macro report away from flipping sentiment. Enjoy the pump—but maybe keep an exit strategy warmer than your cold wallet.

Leaders: AVAX (+16.2%) and HBAR (+11.9%).

Laggards: LTC (+1.8%) and BTC (+1.8%).

The CoinDesk 20 is a broad-based index traded on multiple platforms in several regions globally.
