US consumer confidence index rises to 91.7 in October, ending three-month decline

The relevance for crypto and RWA markets sits in the macro backdrop rather than the print itself: a confidence rebound after three straight declines suggests household sentiment stabilizing, which feeds into the broader risk appetite that digital-asset flows tend to track. Without component detail, the headline alone can't show whether the improvement reflects labor-market views, expectations, or inflation perceptions, so its signal value is limited. Whether this marks a durable turn in sentiment or a one-month bounce is the open question.
