What happened?

The CoinDesk 20 traded lower on June 9, with all 20 constituents in the red. AAVE fell 2.6%, while UNI was the weakest performer with a 2.9% decline.

Why it matters

The broad decline matters because the CoinDesk 20 is designed to track major digital assets across multiple trading venues and regions. When every constituent moves lower at the same time, it points to market-wide weakness rather than pressure isolated to one token or sector.

The CoinDesk 20 index was trading at 1,708.48 on June 9, down 1.4% since 4 p.m. ET on Monday, according to CoinDesk Indices. All 20 assets in the benchmark were lower, with Aave (AAVE) down 2.6% and Uniswap (UNI) falling 2.9%.
