What you need to know for April 20, 2026 What to know : U.S.-listed spot ETFs pulled in $663 million on Friday, the most since Jan. 15., in a sign of strong institutional interest. Aave's AAVE token dropped 1% as the protocol faces collateral damage from the weekend hack of KelpDAO. Still, the DeFi dominance rate, which measures the share of DeFi coins in the total crypto market value, held flat at around 3%. In the broader market, traders are building short positions, betting against a breakout. This could fuel a “short squeeze” if prices hold steady.
