RUNE — THORChain
Swaps coins directly between different blockchains, with no exchange in between.
What it is for
- Set out to
- Swapping native coins across chains without a custodian.
- Today in addition
- Smart contracts through CosmWasm and the app layer Rujira; the lending business was stopped in 2025 and the debt converted into equity through TCY.
- Notable
- Every pool is paired against RUNE.
- Strength
- Bitcoin swaps without wrapping.
- Weakness
- The debt event of 2025 weighs on trust.
Contract address
THORChain — its own chain, no contract.
The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

The four cycles
Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

If the high of a window comes before the low, the rise is calculated from the low to the next interim high within the same window.
† For twelve assets the highest and the lowest closing price come from a window of 720 days, because the source does not reach further back. This window moves with the retrieval date. Both closes reported can therefore change without the market having moved.
