Decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain experienced a price surge of 14% on Aug. 14 morning, making it one of the leading gainers in the crypto market. With a one-day trading volume above $272 million, THORChain gained nearly 13.6%, trading at around $3.70 at the time of writing. RUNE allows crypto users to exchange digital tokens across several blockchains, including Bitcoin.

This recent uplift in THORChain’s market performance is partly due to its new partnership with Kujira, which aims to enhance the liquidity within Kujira’s suite of decentralized finance applications. This collaboration seeks to bolster growth and stability for both platforms.

A distinctive feature of their partnership is the community-driven token raise, allowing wider community involvement. This initiative manages existing financial obligations and synchronizes the economic interests of both the Kujira and THORChain communities.

The partnership also includes strategic and operational adjustments to mitigate similar financial issues in the future. THORChain has formed alliances with SwapKit and Noble to integrate stablecoins into the THORChain AppLayer. Noble will facilitate this integration by providing native USDC issuance, enhancing the user experience with single-click functionality for deposits.

These collaborative efforts reflect a broader trend in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, where platforms are joining forces to improve liquidity, user engagement, and overall financial stability.

Additionally, Bitcoin’s recent surge past the $61,000 mark on Aug. 13 likely played a significant role in THORChain’s upturn. BTC, the largest cryptocurrency, rose by over 3%, with trading volumes around $29.2 billion. BTC’s market cap also increased by 3.14% to $930 billion.

This surge in Bitcoin’s metrics came a day after spot BTC exchange-traded funds experienced net positive flows, which were more than five times greater than those of spot Ethereum ETFs. Meanwhile, the global crypto market cap saw a 2.3% increase in the last 24 hours, standing at $2.14 trillion at the time of writing.
