🚀 Rocket Pool: The Decentralized Way to Stake Ethereum
Week 41 · Premium DeFi Deep Dive · Scanner + v2 Scorecard
A broad red week. Bitcoin slipped to about $82,841, down roughly 3% over the week, with Ethereum down harder near $2,491 and Solana off more than 8% to $110. Fear & Greed fell out of Greed entirely, down to 56 and Neutral. After a long warm stretch, the market cooled across the board. It is a fitting week to look at the quietest, least glamorous corner of crypto there is: plain Ethereum staking, and the protocol that tries to do it in the most decentralized way possible.
