In simple words
What happened?
THORChain has restored trading on Bitcoin, Ethereum and several other networks after an outage caused by a refund bug. Three chains remain paused.
Why does it matter to India?

What happened
THORChain has restored trading on Bitcoin, Ethereum and several other networks after a refund bug. Three chains remain paused. RUNE rallied 15% after the restart.
Why it matters
For India, the direct link is through crypto sentiment rather than the real economy. Moves in a large cross-chain venue can affect trading activity, risk appetite, and prices in Indian crypto markets, while spillovers to listed equities are usually limited.
Global impact
In global crypto markets, outages and restarts can quickly change sentiment, liquidity, and token prices. When a major venue resumes activity, traders often reassess operational risk across the wider crypto space.
