US stock index futures close higher; Nasdaq 100 futures gain 2.17%

The gap between Nasdaq 100 and Dow futures points to a tech-led session rather than a broad risk-on move, with small caps participating but well behind. For crypto and RWA markets, that skew matters: digital assets have tended to track high-beta tech sentiment more than blue-chip strength, so the composition of this rally is the relevant signal, not the headline gains. Whether the leadership stays concentrated in tech or broadens across the index complex is the open question.
