THORChain’s RUNE token has surged 13% amid heightened tensions in the cryptocurrency market following confirmation of the massive hack of the Binance exchange.

With withdrawals halted and trust in major centralized exchanges temporarily shaken, users and trading volume often migrate en masse to decentralized protocols and native cross-chain exchanges—a model in which THORChain plays a central role.

Because these platforms do not require centralized intermediaries and enable decentralized asset swaps across different networks, they typically see increased demand and transaction volumes during crises when centralized platforms halt their operations.
