RUNE Slumps, Drops 70% In 6 Months<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to CoinMarketCap <\/span>data<\/span><\/a>, RUNE, the native currency of the THORChain ecosystem, remains under pressure, losing 12% at press time. The drop over the last 24 hours means the token is down nearly 70% from March highs and continues to trend lower.<\/span><\/p>\n

At press time, the path of least resistance remains southwards. The immediate support lies at August lows at around $3. Conversely, buyers have resistance at approximately the $5 mark. RUNE traders can closely monitor how prices react at these levels as the coin moves sideways in a possible distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n

If buyers take over, RUNE may peel back losses, possibly doubling in the coming months. The pace at which the token will expand largely depends on market-related factors and how the broader crypto market performs. <\/span><\/p>\n

DeFi Slumps, THORChain Hard Fork For System Efficiency<\/span><\/h2>\n

Overall, DeFi is flat, slumping after the expansion of early Q1 2024. According to DeFiLlama data, the total value locked (TVL) across all DeFi protocols is over $80 billion. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ethereum remains the choice network for DeFi developers. Meanwhile, THORChain has a <\/span>TVL of over $266 million<\/span><\/a>, down from $396 million registered in late May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the general contraction, THORChain is actively building. The recent hard fork sought to improve user experience and make the DEX more robust. Changes made in this upgrade include the improvement of the Cosmos SDK<\/a> from version 45.1 to 45.16.<\/span><\/p>\n
