THORChain remains differentiated, but supplied activity and market-quality evidence still screen weak
| Grade | Verdict | Score | Rank | Price | Market cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F | Failed | Red | 34.6 / 100 | #63 of 203 | $0.4937 | $162.3M |
F | Failed means: Score below 40, or any single hard red flag. Do not own — the story is irrelevant.

RUNE is the token associated with THORChain, a decentralized exchange and infrastructure network designed for cross-chain swaps. The supplied profile describes exchanges between Bitcoin and other UTXO-based networks, as well as Ethereum and other EVM-based networks, without depending on wrapped versions of those assets. The listed assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and several additional chains. The source does not specify RUNE’s exact duties, supply design, fee relationship, or other value-accrual mechanics. At a high level, THORChain seeks to connect separate blockchain environments through native-asset liquidity and swapping. Its clearest distinction in the available record is this cross-chain exchange focus, particularly the attempt to support native assets across different network families rather than relying on wrapped representations.
The asset introduction is background information, not an assessment of current usage or evidence availability. The rating status shown above is separate from that introduction. Sign in to read the latest published assessment and its supporting research.
Every CryptoGrade rating comes from the same published, rules-based framework: six weighted dimensions produce a 0–100 composite score, hard disqualifying gates can force exclusion regardless of score, and fixed thresholds map the composite to a grade. Read the full methodology on the Framework page.
The full THORChain verdict — the investment thesis, disqualifier gate checks, per-dimension scores with provenance, on-chain usage and developer-activity signals, and the complete score history — is free with a sign-in and identical for everyone.
