The claim is strongly supported by the fetched CoinDesk article titled "CoinDesk 20 performance update: Ethereum (ETH) price rises 5.4%". That article explicitly says: "Aave (AAVE), up 3.6% from Monday, joined Ethereum as a top performer," which directly matches the statement that Aave rose 3.6% and was alongside Ethereum among the session's stronger gainers. The fetched Apr. 15 CoinDesk article does not contradict this; it covers a different session where AAVE rose 4.3% and was paired with Aptos instead. That distinction reinforces that the user’s statement is accurate for the Apr. 14 session specifically.
