When reviewing crypto assets in the portfolio, the token RocketPool (RPL) could be the next unicorn, this token has more than doubled in value in 2023, and has recently emerged as a top 100 market cap token.
Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH), are obviously both market leading tokens, and Ethereum is on a bull run since moving to Proof of Stake.
