THORChain’s RUNE rose roughly 15% over the past day to near $0.64 on Wednesday as the cross-chain exchange resumed swaps across 10 external blockchains plus native RUNE after its 3.21.1 update. The reopening followed an Ethereum block reorganization that had forced a broad shutdown. Cosmos Hub, BNB Smart Chain and Solana remained restricted because 14 active nodes still needed to upgrade to resolve swap performance issues. THORChain’s public node API showed outbound transaction signing enabled on the 10 reopened networks, while trading and signing remained halted on the three restricted routes. The release also moves the protocol closer to integrating Monero.
