Sudden Decline in CHI Stablecoin Price
According to GeckoTerminal data, the price of the CHI stablecoin associated with the Scroll ecosystem fell by 98% on October 26, currently trading at $0.01643. Furthermore, an additional 33% drop per hour has contributed to growing negative sentiment among market participants.
As reported by
crypto
journalist Wu Blockchain, $20 million worth of collateral was suspiciously withdrawn from the project. Additionally, Essence Finance’s X account has not posted any new content since September 11, only sharing previously made posts, which has intensified the rug pull discussions.
Decline in SCR Token and Market Condition
Despite the negative developments within the stablecoin project, the Scroll (SCR)
token
recently succeeded in being listed on major crypto exchanges like
Binance
and Bybit. However, the issues faced by the CHI stablecoin have led to an approximately 8% decline in the SCR token’s price, which is currently trading at $0.8274.
At the time of reporting, SCR’s trading volume was recorded at $45,934,800, and it has a total of 133 wallets. This situation serves as an important indicator of the token’s market performance and investor confidence.
These developments regarding the project could have significant implications for the future of the Scroll ecosystem and investor confidence in such stablecoin projects. Market participants may begin to act more cautiously regarding the sustainability and reliability of projects.
