What is THORChain (RUNE) and Why It's Discussed in India

THORChain (RUNE) is a decentralised protocol, launched in 2019, that lets people swap one crypto for another across blockchains. Its key feature is native cross-chain swaps, so you can trade Bitcoin for Ethereum directly without wrapped tokens or a central exchange. RUNE settles swaps, rewards liquidity providers, and secures the network. In 2025 THORChain faced a serious liquidity crisis.

Because of its 2025 crisis, its complex and high-risk economic design, and its dependence on RUNE’s price, THORChain should be treated as a high-risk, speculative asset. In India, RUNE is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) under the Income-tax Act, so you can legally buy, hold, and sell it.

Why Buy THORChain (RUNE) in India?

  • A Genuine Cross-Chain Tool: THORChain lets people swap native coins across blockchains, such as Bitcoin for Ethereum, without wrapping them first.
  • A Working Core Product: Its cross-chain swap service kept running and generating fees even throughout its 2025 difficulties.
  • Real Token Utility: RUNE settles swaps, helps secure the network, and rewards the people who provide liquidity.
  • A Capped Supply: RUNE has a maximum supply of 500 million tokens, rather than an open-ended, inflationary supply.
  • Round-the-Clock Market: The RUNE market operates 24/7, so you can buy THORChain online whenever it is convenient for you.
  • Direct INR Access: You can buy RUNE with INR on CoinDCX using its supported INR deposit and trading options.
  • Start Small: RUNE supports fractional investing, so you can invest in THORChain with as little as ₹100.

Key Considerations Before Buying THORChain (RUNE)

A Serious 2025 Crisis

In 2025, THORChain paused its lending and savings products amid roughly 200 million dollars in debts and warnings of insolvency, and it had to restructure.

A Complex, High-Risk Model

The system depends heavily on RUNE’s own price, and even people close to the project have said few fully understand how its parts work together.

Volatile, With Shaken Confidence

RUNE trades far below its all-time high, the crisis hurts trust and liquidity, and it competes with other cross-chain projects. Research its current state carefully before you invest in THORChain.

FAQs

Yes, THORChain (RUNE) is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset under the Income-tax Act, so buying, holding, and selling are allowed, though it is not legal tender. India regulates crypto as a taxable, speculative asset, and platforms serving Indian users must be registered with FIU-IND under anti-money-laundering rules.

To buy RUNE for the first time, sign up on an FIU-IND registered exchange that lists the token and follow the steps suggested on the platform.

THORChain is currently available in USDT but not in INR on CoinDCX. Stay tuned for updates on when you can buy RUNE in INR on our platform.

You do not need to buy a whole RUNE. It is divisible into small units, so a small INR order buys a fraction of a token. The exact per-order minimum is shown on the CoinDCX order screen before you confirm.

Yes. Because RUNE is divisible, you can start with as little as ₹100. Open the app, search for THORChain, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm.

RUNE can be bought against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges, so no stablecoin conversion is needed. Judge any venue on three points: FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, a direct INR pair, and published custody practices such as cold storage and Proof of Reserves.

Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1) of the Act. Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income.

THORChain has genuinely useful technology in native cross-chain swaps, a working core product, and a capped supply. Against that, it went through a serious 2025 liquidity crisis, its economic model is complex and depends heavily on RUNE’s price, confidence and liquidity were hurt, and it trades far below its high  making it a high-risk, speculative asset.

Most ways of moving crypto between blockchains use “wrapped” versions of a coin or a bridge, both of which add risk. THORChain instead lets you swap the real, native coins directly, for example trading actual Bitcoin for actual Ethereum, using pools of liquidity that are all paired with its RUNE token.

In early 2025, THORChain’s lending and savings products ran into trouble, with debts of around 200 million dollars that the protocol could not cover, leading it to pause those products and warnings that it was effectively insolvent. RUNE has a maximum supply of 500 million tokens, and its value is closely tied to how the network is used.
