THORChain has restarted the majority of its swap functions following a halt triggered by a refund bug, according to CoinTelegraph. Trading involving Bitcoin, Ethereum, and several other networks has resumed, although three chains remain paused as the issue is being addressed.
The restart has had a positive impact on THORChain’s native token, RUNE, which rallied by 15% amid the renewed trading activity. This recovery signals growing confidence in the platform’s ability to manage technical challenges and maintain cross-chain liquidity.
For Japanese investors, the swift restoration of THORChain’s swaps highlights the increasing resilience of decentralized finance protocols, which continue to play a vital role in the evolving crypto market landscape.
