Hello Leo-Family,

The last seven days have been nothing short of a nightmare for RUNE holders. The token has plummeted from $5 to just above $3, marking one of its sharpest declines in recent memory. The catalyst? A chain reaction triggered by a sort of "bank run" scenario. As Bitcoin's value surged, BTC loans were repaid en masse, forcing Thorchain’s protocol to provide significantly more RUNE as collateral. This sudden imbalance created immense sell pressure, exacerbating the downturn.

This event serves as a stark reminder that while Thorchain’s technology is groundbreaking, it’s still in its infancy. The mechanics of decentralized finance, especially in volatile markets, can lead to severe price fluctuations that challenge even seasoned traders and investors.

So, where do we go from here? The fundamentals of Thorchain remain strong, with record-high on-chain volumes and a growing ecosystem. However, confidence needs rebuilding, and market sentiment will play a crucial role in determining RUNE's next steps.

Will the token stabilize and recover as BTC and broader markets consolidate, or are we in for further pain ahead? It’s time to make your guesses as we navigate through this tumultuous phase for RUNE. Share your predictions and join the discussion!
