THORChain resumes most swap operations after outage; RUNE rises 15%

According to Cointelegraph, THORChain has restarted trading on Bitcoin, Ethereum and several other networks following an earlier halt. The restart covers the majority of its swap functionality, while three specific chains remain paused.

The service experienced a stoppage due to a refund bug. After addressing the issue, THORChain began allowing swaps again on supported platforms. RUNE, the native token of THORChain, increased by 15 percent in response to the partial restoration of swap operations.

No details are provided regarding which three chains remain paused, the duration of the outage, the exact nature of the refund bug beyond its cause, or user impact. The rise in RUNE value reflects market reaction to the service’s partial return to normal operation, based on publicly available information at the time.
