ThorChain Restructures a $200 million debt with a new token plan

Thorchain has authorized a plan to turn its $200 million debt into equity by issuing TCY coins. While this technique seeks to stabilize the platform, community members disagree on its long-term viability and potential regulatory issues.

Decentralized Liquidity Protocol. THORChain is taking a brave step to address its financial issues by changing $200 million in outstanding debt into equity tokens. The platform’s node operators approved the plan, despite conflicting reactions from community members.

A shift toward tokenized debt

To avoid a financial disaster, THORChain halted its Bitcoin and Ethereum loan services on January 23. The interim halt aimed to restructure the protocol’s liabilities and ensure operational stability. As part of the recovery process, the network will create 200 million TCY tokens, each reflecting $1 of the outstanding debt. These tokens will allow holders to share in the platform’s revenue and get 10% of THORChain’s fees indefinitely.

How the Plan Works

In proportion to their lost cash, affected users will receive TCY tokens. To provide liquidity and flexibility, the THORChain treasury will create a dedicated liquidity pool where users can exchange their tokens. The platform contends that this strategy allows creditors to withdraw at their own discretion while maintaining financial stability.

Concerns and controversies

Despite the organized approach, the program has received criticism. Some community members are concerned about the restructuring’s complexity, stating that it will demand continual investment and trust in THORChain. Others ask whether the new token format will face regulatory scrutiny because it effectively provides holders with a revenue stream, thus categorizing it as a security.

Furthermore, mistrust persists regarding the promise of perpetual revenue. Some users express concerns about the plan’s long-term viability, fearing a potential reversal of the pledge to continued payouts.

Looking ahead.

While the restructuring plan is underway, crucial specifics, such as the implementation timeframe, are still being decided. Market response and user faith in the platform’s ability to deliver on its promises will determine THORChain’s success as it navigates this shift.
