Summary

Aptos (APT) and Internet Computer (ICP) lead the CoinDesk 20 with gains of 4.4% and 2.4%, respectively, as nearly all assets in the index rise. This broad-based uptrend suggests improving market sentiment. The move is likely driven by a risk-on environment and potential capital rotation into altcoins.
