At the time of writing, Thorchain's native RUNE token is trading at around $7.13, gaining nearly 18% in the past 24 hours and 83% in the last week, according to crypto metrics platform CoinGecko.
Notably, the latest push is part of the token’s “comeback” following a series of exploits. Over the past couple of weeks the project has suffered two major security breaches that resulted in RUNE’s price plummeting from nearly $8 to below $4.
On July 15, hackers drained 2,500 Ethereum (ETH) tokens (around $4.8 million at the time) from Thorchain’s liquidity pools. In response, the protocol’s developers promised to reimburse the affected liquidity providers using funds from the project’s treasury.
Thorchain’s troubles didn’t stop there.
Less than a week later, the project was hit by another attack, and this time around, the hacker even left a few tips for the team.
RUNE has nonetheless recovered as the token’s price has been steadily rising over the past couple of weeks. Thanks to the latest rally, the token’s market capitalization—the combined price of all tokens currently in circulation—went back to nearly $2 billion.
Meanwhile, other DeFi tokens have been trading sideways on the day.
Native assets of platforms such as Uniswap (UNI, $21.03, -4.5%), Chainlink (LINK, $22.60, +1%), AAVE ($305.73, -3.4%), Maker (MKR, $2,796.93, -3.8%), Compound (COMP, $391.5, -1.5%) and others are either in the red zone or wallow just slightly above the waterline.
Still, there is currently more than $67 billion of value currently locked on DeFi platforms across the whole sector, according to DeFi Pulse. The top three spots are occupied by AAVE ($12.84 billion locked), InstaDapp ($9.49 billion), and Curve ($8.86 billion).

New York prosecutors tried and failed to solicit the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion on Ethereum to bolster their case against KuCoin in 2023, according to newly released SEC records acquired by Coinbase. The exchange is one of many private conversations unearthed by a Coinbase FOIA request, offering a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes politicking that has shaped U.S. authorities’ approach toward the crypto industry over the past few years. In an email dated June 2023, the New York A...
Layer-1 blockchain Aptos saw an increase in new developer interest following the viral social media campaign from user BuzzlamicJihad. So much so that Ash Pampati, head of ecosystem at Aptos, told Decrypt that the Aptos Foundation would be “super open” to bringing the user onto its team. Aptos surged 17% in a single day in February, as BuzzlamicJihad’s unofficial “community takeover” of the network went viral on social media. Following Aptos Labs founder and CEO Mo Shaikh stepping down in Decemb...
Ethereum's Pectra upgrade went live without a hitch—but it didn't serve as rocket fuel for ETH's price. The world's second-largest cryptocurrency was trading sideways after the long-awaited code changes were finalized on Wednesday. ETH is currently hovering at about $1,830, meaning it's continuing to trade 40% lower than it was this time last year. It was a similar story after Ethereum completed "The Merge," and made the ambitious switch from proof of work to proof of stake consensus. Back in S...
