RPL Surges 62% in 24 Hours Ahead of Major Protocol Upgrade

2026.02.17 13:03:30

**RPL Jumps 62% Ahead of Rocket Pool’s Saturn One Upgrade** As per HTX market data on February 17th, RPL’s 24-hour price surge now stands at 62%, with a market cap of $62 million and a current price of $2.80. The community is dubbing Rocket Pool’s largest-ever protocol upgrade—Saturn One—a "turning point." The upgrade will go live on the Ethereum mainnet at 00:00 UTC on February 18, 2026 (8:00 AM Beijing Time / 12:00 AM UK Time). Key upgrade highlights (benefiting RPL holders and protocol growth): - **RPL Fee Switch Activates**: A portion of the protocol’s ETH revenue will now flow to RPL stakers, enabling true value capture. RPL shifts from pure governance/staking to a "dividend" model. - **Node Entry Barrier Halved**: Minimum ETH for node operators drops to 4 ETH (from 8 ETH), expected to attract more nodes and boost TVL/rETH adoption. - **Megapools Launch**: Larger pools for node operators improve capital efficiency, cut gas costs, and enable adjustable commissions. - **rETH & Inflation Updates**: Liquid staking token rETH gets an enhanced user experience; RPL inflation will gradually decrease, supporting long-term value.

US Treasuries extended their decline after the repurchase announcement, with the market viewing the $6 billion cap as insufficient.

The U.S. Treasury Department said it will purchase between $40 billion and $60 billion in long-term government debt in the first operation of its expanded repurchase program, demonstrating Secretary Bessent’s resolve to curb the recent rise in borrowing costs. U.S. Treasuries extended their earlier decline following the announcement, indicating the program’s size fell short of some investors’ expectations. The success of the expanded purchase program remains to be seen. After the program was first announced last month, yields fell before rebounding later. The benchmark 10-year yield hit its highest level since 2023 last week. Economist Guha, a former staffer at the New York Fed, noted: “The challenge always lies in whether the impact of these interventions can persist without larger fundamental changes.” Moreover, the maximum size of the repurchase operation does not mean the Treasury will necessarily purchase that amount of Treasuries. However, in repurchases targeting long-term nominal debt, the department typically buys the full amount; since the program was relaunched in 2024, it has only failed to do so in two of 52 such operations.
