RUNE rallies 15% as THORChain restarts most swaps after outage
Summary
RUNE rose about 15% to roughly $0.64 as THORChain restored trading on 10 of 13 listed external networks after a weekend-wide pause. The halt followed an Ethereum one-block reorganization that removed a 10 ETH deposit already credited by the protocol. When the swap failed its price limit, THORChain refunded funds it had not received; the sender also received a refund, creating an extra 10 ETH payout and triggering an automatic pause. Node operators halted trading on multiple networks while developers investigated. BNB Smart Chain, Cosmos Hub and Solana still showed warnings for trading and transaction signing. The outage also delayed attempts to move funds stolen in the $6.3 billion Binance hack, according to Chainalysis.
