Dollar Index Rises 0.6% to 102.258 in Late New York Trading

A broad dollar bid of this size matters for dollar-denominated assets, including tokenized RWAs and crypto pairs priced in USD, because it tightens the global liquidity backdrop that risk assets lean on. The move is a currency signal rather than a crypto-specific one, so it says more about the macro mood than about any single token. Whether the dollar holds these gains into the next session, or fades back toward the lower end of the range, is the open question for risk appetite.
