⚡️ THORChain ( $RUNE ): Bridge Between Worlds or Gateway for Hackers?


Market capitalization: $234M.

THORChain is a decentralized protocol that allows exchanging cryptocurrencies across different blockchains directly, without wrapped tokens or centralized intermediaries.

Sounds like a crypto-anarchist's dream❔

🗣It is.
But the main news: on January 10, $282M in stolen funds flowed through THORChain – the largest individual theft of 2026! The attacker compromised the victim's hardware wallet through social engineering, then used THORChain to convert the loot into Monero. XMR price surged 70% as a result.

What does this mean for RUNE❔

🗣On one hand – scandal and community criticism for the protocol becoming a "laundromat" for criminals. On the other – it's proof that THORChain works exactly as designed: decentralized and without KYC.

🗣Meanwhile, the protocol continues to develop: TRON integration opened access to $32B+ in stablecoin liquidity, and Monero and Zcash connections are planned for 2026. Trading volume increased 17% over the past week.

Trade Guidelines:📈📉

📈 Breakout above $0.68 – path to $0.75.
📉 Drop below $0.60 – pullback to $0.55.

Conclusion:
RUNE is high risk, high reward. The protocol is at the forefront of DeFi, but regulators may have it in their sights.
