THORChain (RUNE) has experienced a significant resurgence, with its price climbing 16.4% over the past week, reaching $4.71.
This upward trend follows a low of $3.11, highlighting a notable recovery.
Why is RUNE price rising?
The cryptocurrency market, buoyed by Bitcoins (BTC) recent surge above $68,000 and the anticipated launch of Ethereum ETFs trading on July 26, has fostered a positive environment for altcoins like RUNE.
This optimism has been further reflected in THORChain‘s performance, with the cryptocurrency’s market capitalization at $1.57 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of over $227 million.
Analysts have set ambitious targets for RUNE, forecasting a short-term price of $8 and a long-term goal of $54, driven by a bullish market outlook and significant ecosystem advancements.
THORChain network continues to grow
THORChain‘s Q2 2024 Ecosystem Report underscores the network’s robustness and continuous innovation.
THORChain processed nearly $14 billion in total swap volume, with substantial contributions from major integrators such as Trust Wallet and THORSwap.
New interfaces, including Li.Fi and Cake Wallet, have been integrated to enhance swap experiences, and the removal of the EVM Contract whitelist has broadened access to swaps for smart contracts.
Significant updates in Q2 2024 include the introduction of Trade Assets, designed for frequent traders and arbitrageurs. These assets are capital-efficient and free from slip fees, promoting higher trading volumes.
Additionally, the systems fee logic has been adjusted to lower outbound gas fees, and the architecture has been fortified for increased scalability and security.
There are also future developments poised to further enhance THORChains functionality. For example, RUNE Pool, expected in Q3 2024, will allow users to engage in Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) across multiple pools, potentially reducing impermanent loss and stabilizing yields.
There is also the introduction of Limit Orders that is aimed at enabling users to place automated trades when specific price targets are met, integrating with the AMM design.
THORChain is also planning to support Solana and other chains using the Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA), alongside upgrades to the Ethereum Router and new features like memoless transactions. These advancements aim to streamline the user experience and expand THORChains interoperability.
As THORChain continues to innovate and adapt, its growing ecosystem and promising price targets suggest a bright future for the platform in the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.
