Ethereum’s abnormal reorganization is spilling over: THORChain has paused related operations to avoid processing cross-chain transactions while on-chain confirmations remain uncertain. For decentralized cross-chain protocols, a pause is not the worst outcome in itself; the real risk lies in whether the reorganization depth, deposit confirmation count, and node observation period are properly aligned.

This is also a reminder that cross-chain transactions are not “one-click” operations: the finality of the underlying network directly affects the safety of funds. At the time of this report, $RUNE was trading at around 0.626 USDT, and short-term volatility could intensify. Don’t blindly go short just because of the “pause,” and don’t assume that a restart announcement means the risk has been fully resolved. Keep an eye on the official postmortem, restart conditions, and the stability of the Ethereum network.
