The CoinDesk 20 declined 1.3% over the past week, with nine of the 20 assets in the gauge slipping more than 4%. The index was helped as its largest component – bitcoin (BTC) – advanced 1.3% and at least briefly broke back above $70,000.

The only other CoinDesk 20 constituent in the green over the past week was Cardano (ADA), which managed a 08% advance.

The index’s worst performer was Uniswap (UNI), which lost 14% of its value as a governance vote related to rewards for token holders was delayed.
