FTSE 100 rises 1% to break February closing record high

A record close on the UK's blue-chip benchmark is a sentiment signal more than a fundamental one, and the item gives no driver behind the move — no sector leadership, no macro catalyst — which leaves the durability of the advance genuinely unclear. For readers tracking tokenized-equity and RWA narratives, fresh highs in a major traditional index matter as a reference point for how on-chain mirrors of legacy markets are framed. The open question is whether the gain holds or fades without a catalyst.
