$ETH 🚀🚨 Rocket Pool (RPL): On Fire Today! 🔥

📊Rocket Pool (RPL) surged over +28% today, fueled by a sharp +45% increase in TVL (Total Value Locked) over the past month and a +150% jump in open interest, signaling renewed speculative demand.

🧠🔗What is RPL?

Rocket Pool (RPL) is the governance and utility token of a decentralized Ethereum liquid-staking network. It powers node-collateral mechanisms and protocol governance, enabling operators to run minipools (starting at 16 ETH) while users earn ETH staking rewards via rETH tokens.

🌟 Unique Utility:

RPL secures validators in Rocket Pool — a fully decentralized liquid staking protocol that allows users to stake with as little as 0.01 ETH, compared to 32 ETH required for native staking. Users receive rETH, a token that gains value from real staking rewards.

⚙️ Why RPL Stands Out?:

● Decentralized staking: No central platform like Lido

● Operators can join with only 8 ETH via “minipools” with slashing insurance

● Cross-chain integration for rETH (e.g., Chainlink, Ronin, Balancer)

🎯Growth Potential:

🟩Rising TVL and institutional ETH adoption support long-term strength.

🟩Rising Open Interest in RPL derivatives has spiked ~150%, implying bullish sentiment from traders. 

🟩Upcoming upgrades: With key milestones like the Saturn upgrade and enhanced cross-chain rETH integrations (e.g., Chainlink, Ronin), adoption is expected to accelerate. 

🟩Growth forecasts: Analysts project potential highs between $28 to $60+ by 2025–2030, based on expanding Ethereum staking demand.
