Big news in the world of cryptocurrency! THORChain, a system that lets you swap one type of digital money for another (like trading LEGOs for action figures!), saw a huge jump in activity recently. This happened after hackers stole a lot of money from another cryptocurrency company called Bybit.
- Hackers stole $1.4 billion from Bybit.
- THORChain saw a record-breaking $859 million in swaps in one day.
- Many people used THORChain to change their money, maybe to hide it.
- THORChain's own digital money (called RUNE) went up in price by 36.6%.
| Fact | Number |
|---|---|
| Money stolen from Bybit | $1.4 billion |
| THORChain's highest daily swap volume | $859.61 million |
| Increase in THORChain's RUNE price | 36.6% |
Some people worry about bad guys using THORChain, but developers are working to stop that.
