Rocket Pool ETH (RETH)
Decentralized ETH liquid staking token from Rocket Pool; most trust-minimized LST with permissionless node operators
Ranked 14th of 251 rated tokens. Scoring pass 11 Jun 2026.
What the numbers say
RETH scores 159 of 250 across the 25-variable framework, which places it 14th of 251 rated tokens and inside the top 10% of the set. The framework verdict is HOLD.
RETH is a top-10 name in the set on 4 variables. The score rests on Vesting Schedule 10/10, 1st of 251, Circulating / FDV Ratio 10/10, 1st of 251, Real Staking Yield 9/10, 1st of 251 and Holder Concentration 6/10, 1st of 251.
100% of eventual supply is already circulating, so vesting is not a live risk for RETH. Price has to be justified by demand rather than absorbed against a cliff.
RETH is 60.3% off its all-time high of $5,618, a 2.5x round trip from here.
The framework score gained 9 points against the previous pass (150 to 159). Revisions of this size follow a change in the underlying variables, not a change in price.
$2.10B sits in the protocol. The token is capitalised below the value locked in the protocol.
25-variable breakdown
Each variable is scored 1 to 10 and ranked against every other rated token, so a 7 that ranks 20th means something different from a 7 that ranks 180th. The rank is the part that is hard to get anywhere else.
