THORChain Releases Key Bitcoin Update: Time for RUNE Crypto to Shine?

THORChain Bitcoin update cuts confirmations from 3 to 2, and may boost RUNE crypto. Will it spark a recovery after the January 2025 crash?

When RUNE, the token that powers THORChain, began surging in early November, no one expected the rally to stall in mid-December. Later, the collapse in January 2025 came as a sucker punch. The sell-off was brutal, a dent to RUNE holders and THORChain.

The RUNEUSDT Crash

From November to December, RUNE rose nearly 60%.

However, after peaking at around $7.465 in December, prices crashed below $4.275 and slid further to below $1 by early February.

The result? An 85% drop from December highs and RUNE holders in panic.

Many worried that a LUNA-style collapse was inevitable.

It hasn’t been the same for THORChain since.

Although the team intervened by announcing the TCY airdrop, RUNEUSDT prices remain stagnant, moving sideways.
