The chart above showed that the rejection from $1.4 was quick. In the past 48 hours, the token has shed close to 30% in value.

Additionally, data from DefiLlama showed that the Total Value Locked (TVL) stood at $793 million at press time.

This value is just over $200 million lower than the $995 million TVL it recorded on the 16th of October.

This uptick in activity was driven by the airdrop farming ahead of the Scroll token airdrop snapshot on the 19th of October
