CoinDesk Indices (CDI) presents its weekly charts, a twice-weekly look back at the performance of individual names inside the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) and the broader CoinDesk Market Index (CMI).
The CD20 tracks the world's largest and most-liquid cryptocurrencies inside an investable index, while the broad-market CMI includes more than 150 tradable cryptos broken down into six sectors.
The CD20 is up 19% since last Friday’s close, with all 20 tokens in the gauge having appreciated on the week. Meme coins dogecoin {{DOGE}} and shiba inu {{SHIB}} have seen outsized gains, posting advances of 49% and 41%, respectively.
