RPL Token Surges 61% Amid Saturn One Upgrade and Bitget Funding Rate Shift, $222M Volume Recorded

RPLUSDT experienced a significant price increase of 61.40% over the last 24 hours, rising from an open of $1.71 to a current price of $2.76 on Binance. This surge is primarily attributed to anticipation surrounding the Saturn One protocol upgrade, which includes reduced validator ETH requirements, activation of the RPL fee switch, and the launch of Megapools, all confirmed for February 2026. Additional market momentum came from Bitget's announcement of a funding rate interval adjustment for RPLUSDT perpetual futures, set to take effect February 17, 2026, potentially boosting trading activity. Trading volumes have been substantial, with 24-hour USDT volume reaching up to $222.29 million across exchanges and a market cap ranging from $33.61 million to $62.38 million, indicating heightened interest and volatility.
