Dollar rises 0.3% against yen to 157.26

A 0.3% move is modest on its own, but the significance lies in where it lands: 157.26 puts the pair at its session high, meaning the yen's softness is persisting rather than reversing. For crypto and RWA markets, a firmer dollar is a familiar headwind for risk assets broadly, so the read-across matters more than the headline number. The open question is whether this yen weakness extends into a sustained trend or fades as a session-level move, since that distinction shapes the broader dollar backdrop that digital-asset markets trade against.
