CoinDesk Indices (CDI) presents its bi-weekly market update, highlighting the performance of leaders and laggards in the benchmark CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) and the broad CoinDesk Market Index (CMI).

Ether (ETH) gained more than 20% this week, buoyed by first the rumor and then the news that the SEC was moving to approve the listing of a spot ETH ETF.

Uniswap (UNI) added 21% alongside its response this week to a Wells Notice it received from U.S. regulators.
