THORChain has temporarily suspended its THORFi services due to financial uncertainties and insolvency allegations, initiating a 90-day restructuring plan to address issues related to the 'Savers and Lending' programs.

What Is THORChain?

THORChain is a decentralized liquidity network enabling cross-chain token swaps in a non-custodial environment. It does not peg or wrap assets, simply allowing users to swap tokens across various Layer 1 blockchains. Traders on THORChain can move seamlessly without needing registration for an exchange or going through KYC.

What Is RUNE?

RUNE is the native token of THORChain. Its value increases as the network's utilization grows. The more liquidity deposited into ThorChain liquidity pools, the more the value of the RUNE token. ThorChain’s consensus is proof-of-stake and built on Tendermint (Cosmos), with network validators (nodes) required to bond RUNE. RUNE serves five purposes: liquidity, security, governance, incentive, and amplifier.

RUNE Crypto: Current News and Price Drop

According to current news, a 90-day restructuring initiative has been enforced to address arising issues. Trading functionalities like swaps remain active, but lending operations under THORFi will remain on hold. The pause aims to prevent a rush-to-exit scenario to avoid platform destabilization. Meanwhile, the RUNE crypto price has dropped 30% in the last 24 hours.

THORChain is facing financial difficulties, prompting a restructuring and suspension of THORFi operations. Despite these developments, trading functionalities remain active, but the value of RUNE has seen a significant decrease.
