CoinDesk Indices, the dusty bulletin board of today’s moonlit market, offers a daily snapshot of the coin townsfolk-those who lift their boots and those left wading in the mud.

The coin-raising flocks gathered behind the trusty barrel labeled CoinDesk 20, which now rests at a respectable 1907.12, a shy rise of 0.3% (+5.99) since the last hour the clock struck four in the evening.
