This capability will be extended to ShapeShift\u2019s web-based platform in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Erik Voorhees, ShapeShift\u2019s founder and CEO, explained the importance of the THORChain integration: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe believe finance must be open and immutable. The THORChain team has built <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> that brings these properties to the trading of bitcoin and other leading chains for the first time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>THORChain integration is a \u201ccontinuation of our commitment to offer users an easy, self-custody platform for their decentralized trading needs,\u201d Voorhees added. <\/p>\n<p>A growing market for cross-chain transfers has put THORChain on the map in recent months. RUNE, the protocol\u2019s native cryptocurrency, has done a 9x since the year began. At a current price point of $11.40, THORChain has a market capitalization of $2.6 billion, placing it 49th among active cryptocurrencies. <\/p>\n<p>As Cointelegraph previously reported, ShapeShift\u2019s embrace of decentralized exchanges, or DEXs, began in January 2021 with the support of Uniswap, Balancer, Curve, Bankcor, Kuber, 0x and mStable. In the process, ShapeShift relieved users of burdensome Know Your Customer, or KYC, requirements while offering better liquidity and pricing. <\/p>\n<p>In a January 2021 podcast with Bankless, Voorhees <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=myyi9MJSmf0\">described<\/a> the rise of Uniswap as one of the most important stories in cryptocurrency, offering a clear indication that ShapeShift would continue moving in that direction. During the same month, Voorhees indicated that &#8220;all non-DEX trading on ShapeShift will be retired&#8221; later this year.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
