The expansion simplifies the Virtualization Strategy, enabling more efficient rebalancing across THORChain pools via 18 new RUNE and stablecoin pairs.
Rujira activated 18 new trading pairs on RUJI Trade, the exchange layer of its platform. The expansion, announced Aug. 3, splits into two groups: eight pairs linking stablecoins to assets like TRX, AVAX, and LUSD.ETH, and ten pairs connecting major tokens directly to RUNE.
The stablecoin markets include RUJI/USDT, RUNE/USDT, TRX/USDC, TRX/USDT, USDT.TRON/USDT, USDT.TRON/USDC, USDT.AVAX/USDC, and LUSD.ETH/USDC. The RUNE-linked pairs cover ETH, XRP, LTC, ATOM, BNB, BCH, AVAX, DOGE, and TRX.
Every direct RUNE pair streamlines the Virtualization Strategy, the mechanism that settles App Layer trades through THORChain's Base Layer pools. A pair like ETH/BCH requires two RUNE pools, widening the spread. An ETH/RUNE pair needs only one, letting liquidity flow more efficiently, Rujira said.
The same logic applies to Custom Concentrated Liquidity, where providers allocate capital inside specific price ranges. When a CCL position runs against a Virtualization Strategy order, the App Layer supplies liquidity while the strategy settles the other side through THORChain pools, generating fees for providers and arbitrage-driven rebalancing, the team added.
Rujira also set THORChain's WasmArbSlipMinBps parameter to zero, allowing automatic correction of small price mismatches between the two layers. All 18 pairs are live on the platform.
