About THORChain

The staking and settlement asset of a cross-chain liquidity network.

THORChain is tracked here because it has an established public market and recurring reader interest. Inclusion is not an endorsement. Bitcoin.now compares other networks on their own terms while keeping Bitcoin's monetary design, custody model, and proof-of-work security as the site's main subject.

How to read the RUNE price

There is no single official THORChain price. The number above is the latest public observation from MEXC Global. Another exchange can show a different last trade because its buyers, sellers, liquidity, and order book are different.

A displayed price is not the amount guaranteed for an order. Spread, fees, depth, slippage, payment method, and location can change the final value.

How much real liquidity exists near the displayed price? A useful asset review answers those questions with current primary documentation instead of relying on market capitalization or social attention.
