Crypto Corner
We’re continuing our talk about the ins and outs of the crypto market, helping investors become more familiar with the 110+ cryptoassets offered by eToro. Today we’ll discuss Tellor and Rocket Pool.
Tellor (TRB): Trading near $15.88 with a market cap of ~$44.3 million
Tellor is a decentralized oracle network that brings off-chain data, like prices and event outcomes, on-chain for smart contracts. Anyone can stake TRB to report data, while disputes and slashing help protect accuracy. TRB is used for reporter incentives, staking, dispute resolution, and governance — not ownership, dividends, or profit-sharing. Its value is tied to active oracle utility and decentralized data coordination.
Rocket Pool (RPL): Trading near $1.75 with a market cap of ~$40 million
Rocket Pool is a decentralized Ethereum liquid staking protocol that lets users stake ETH for rETH or operate validator nodes with lower capital requirements. RPL is used by node operators as collateral and for governance, helping secure the network. Token holders do not receive equity, dividends, or shared protocol revenue; utility is tied to validator participation, security incentives, and decentralized Ethereum staking.
Check out these crypto offerings — and many more — on eToro’s Discover page and consider adding them to your watchlist. TRB and RPL are not currently available for NY users. Learn more.

The Setup — XLM
Stellar continues to trade near the key 18-cent level and its 200-week moving average, both of which we have discussed in prior weeks. This area acted as resistance in February, March, and April, but has served as support since mid-May.
With XLM testing this zone again, bulls are looking for support to hold once more. A break below last month’s low, near $0.168, could shift momentum in a more bearish direction. However, if support holds, it could set up a rebound toward higher prices.
What Wall Street’s Watching
BTC
Bitcoin’s six-day, 9.4% rally came to an end on Tuesday, with BTC falling about 1.1% on the day. It remains under pressure this morning, down roughly 1.5% as of 8:00 a.m. ET. The pullback is weighing on the broader crypto space, as well as key Bitcoin-related ETFs such as IBIT. Check out BTC’s chart.
QQQ
US stocks are also under pressure Wednesday morning, as the ceasefire between Iran and the US appears increasingly fragile. Geopolitical tensions are flaring again between the two countries, pushing oil prices higher and weighing on equities. The QQQ is leading the decline, down about 1% in pre-market trading, though weakness is broad-based across the market. Follow the news on QQQ.
