THORChain trades at $0.5890 today — −97.2% from its $21.28 high set in May 2021. A fall that deep means something simple: returning to that level would take a 36× rise.
From low to high
THORChain (RUNE) price high and low
Over 6 years the price of THORChain has moved between $0.2950 and $21.28. The low came in June 2026, the high in May 2021. From the bottom the price has risen 2× — which is what someone would have made buying at the worst possible moment and holding to today.
The deepest RUNE drawdown
The deepest fall on monthly closes was −97.5%: from the peak in April 2021 to the bottom in June 2026, taking 62 months. A useful number: it shows what holding through would have meant.
How long since the high
It has been 67 months since that high, and the price has not returned to it.

The best full year was 2021 at +481%. The worst was 2025 at −87.5%. Of 5 full years, 2 closed up and 3 closed down.

Does RUNE have a seasonal pattern
Which month THORChain rose in most often
On average RUNE did best in March: +50.7% across 6 observations, 4 of them positive. It did worst in June: −26.0% across 6 observations.
Why the number of observations beats the average percentage
We print the number of observations next to the percentage for a reason. 6 observations is 6 observations: on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from coincidence. Interesting to look at, not something to plan around.
How to use this
What these numbers do not say
Everything above is the past. It does not say where the price goes next, but it does show the range to be ready for: $0.2950 to $21.28, with a drawdown of −97.5%.
Where to check the RUNE price across exchanges
What is useful right now comes down to three things, all of them computed from live data rather than history.
The RUNE price gap between exchanges
RUNE costs different amounts on different exchanges, and that gap is visible in the cross-exchange scanner: it shows where the coin is cheaper and where it is dearer right now.
How much RUNE you can actually buy at that price
Before a large purchase it is worth checking the order books — they show how much you can actually take at a given price, not just the best offer.
Moving RUNE between platforms
And if the coin has to move between venues, the transfers section shows which network is cheaper.
