DOGE DeFi: Dogecoin Pool On THORChain Sees $3.8M Liquidity In A Single Day

Users can now earn DeFi yields on their Dogecoin DOGE/USD holdings by depositing their assets on THORChain’s RUNE/USD decentralized liquidity network.

What Happened: On Jan. 17, THORChain unveiled support for DOGE in a newly launched liquidity pool.

In 24 hours, the DOGE liquidity pool had amassed liquidity of $3.8 million and a total volume of $9 million.

The liquidity pool allows users to earn interest on their DOGE deposits without the need for a KYC user account. At one point, the yield offered on the liquidity pool was as high as 64% APY.

“DeFi brings ownership back to Dogecoin hodlers. Your keys, Your Dogecoin!” THORChain declared in a blog.

THORChain’s DOGE pool also provides a way to connect DOGE to other DeFi services.

Users can swap DOGE for native assets like Bitcoin BTC/USD, Ethereum ETH/USD, Binance Coin BNB/USD, Litecoin LTC/USD, Bitcoin Cash BCH/USD and a host of other ERC-20 tokens on a decentralized exchange.
