THORChain Achieves Record Swap Volume, Lending Activity Surges
🚀 Record Volume, Lending Boom
THORChain, a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol, has reported record swap volume exceeding $20 billion since the start of 2024, with over half of this volume generated in the last month alone. The platform has also witnessed a significant increase in lending activity, with collateral deposits of Bitcoin and Ethereum surging in recent weeks. THORChain's lending module allows users to borrow against their cryptocurrency holdings without interest or expiration, providing a unique opportunity in the DeFi landscape. As the protocol continues to gain traction, industry observers anticipate further growth in THORChain's swap volume and lending activity in the coming months.

$RUNE is fully distributed. The Treasury sits on 7m RUNE (1.4% of supply) for long term ecosystem funding. Literally everything else is circulating, burnt or locked in the protocol. Major investors all puked last cycle. Only the thorchads hold rune now.

Collateral is being onboarded onto THORChain at a rate of $1m/hour. Previously it was $1m/day. At this rate, lending caps will be full in a week. However, Lending Caps are based on RUNE:L1 prices. Any price reflexivity will result in a higher collateral cap.

Liquidity on @THORChain is surging. This surge could be attributed to the price action of $RUNE, which increases the value of liquidity pools when measured in dollars. However, the question arises: Is this surge affecting the profitability of liquidity providers (LPs)?

Loans are streaming in at a huge rate. As RUNE is reflexive, the space just keeps opening up. The caps (right now) can now onboard a total of $216m in Collateral. Let's gooo!
At least they are talking about us. I wouldn't advise anyone to put #BTC into @thorchain without having done proper due dilligence. For the majority it is better to hodl cold storage. But thorchain offers a fantastic option to those willing to take the risk. #RUNE
Time to watch the next class get REKT. Nothing comes without risk. Ever. Protect your #Bitcoin at all costs.
March 2024 was the first month in THORChain history with over $10b in trading volume 🎉 A major win for DEXs, but the goal is unambiguously to flip the volume and liquidity of centralized exchanges. Bitcoin liquidity will live natively, on-chain. Onwards

Lending on @THORChain averages around 5% of the daily volume (in purple), which is a notable increase since 2024. Despite not dominating the volume metrics, it remains a pivotal component of THORChain's ecosystem and strengthens THORChain's position in the DeFi landscape.
Anyone know what fraction of this 10B is purely from lending? Looks like there is 15M $RUNE worth of collateral deposited so approx 130M USD. So even if 1 deposit causes 2 or 3 swaps, it's still only a small fraction of all the volume right?
