2024

The Essence Finance stablecoin project within the Scroll ecosystem has triggered widespread alarm. Essence’s stablecoin, CHI, suffered a sharp 98% price drop, sparking fears of a potential rug pull. Reports of multimillion-dollar collateral withdrawals just before the crash have only intensified speculation among investors.

According to GeckoTerminal, on October 26, CHI plummeted to $0.01643, experiencing a 98% drop with an additional 33% hourly decline. This dramatic fall has led investors to question CHI’s future and created a cloud of distrust around the Scroll ecosystem. The news surfaced after Asia-based crypto source Wu Blockchain reported a $20 million collateral withdrawal from the project. 
Further fueling the rumors, Essence Finance’s X (formerly Twitter) account has been mostly silent since September 11, with no original posts since then—only retweets. This lack of communication has heightened concerns and led to growing speculation about a possible rug pull. Despite this, CHI’s 24-hour trading volume remains around $45.9 million, with a total of 133 investors. These figures suggest that interest lingers, albeit shadowed by significant distrust.

The Scroll ecosystem’s main token, SCR, built on zero-knowledge rollup technology, also took a major blow. Despite previously attracting investor interest on major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and Coinbase, SCR faced an 8% drop within 24 hours, hitting $0.8274. The token’s daily low and high were recorded at $0.7844 and $0.9105, respectively.

These events have spotlighted the Scroll project while casting doubt on its reliability. Investor confidence in CHI’s future as a stablecoin has visibly eroded, reflecting concerns that the project may indeed be a rug pull.
