$RUNE ✅ is flying — but the real story behind this rally is much more complicated.
THORChain is suddenly back in the spotlight after reports that a large share of cross-chain activity has been linked to stolen or illicit funds. The controversy is especially significant because the protocol reportedly earned millions in fees while processing some of these transactions.
That creates a difficult question for decentralized finance: how do you stop abuse without destroying the permissionless system that made THORChain attractive in the first place?
Meanwhile, the chart is telling a completely different story. $RUNE is trading around $0.81, up more than 20% on the day, after breaking sharply higher. Price is also sitting well above the 7-day MA near $0.68, 21-day MA around $0.57, and 50-day MA near $0.50, showing strong short-term momentum.
The key level now is $0.8265, the recent high. A clean breakout could open the door toward the $0.85–$0.90 area if momentum continues.
But after such a vertical move, a pullback toward $0.75–$0.68 wouldn't be surprising.
The bigger question remains: Can THORChain solve its abuse problem without compromising decentralization?
Not financial advice. DYOR.
