Tellor, a decentralized oracle protocol essential for updating off-chain data in on-chain smart contracts, has been a standout player in the dynamic landscape of blockchain technology.
In the final quarter of 2023, TRB embarked on an impressive bull run, witnessing a remarkable 2000% surge, fueled in part by intense whale activity. However, recent developments indicate a substantial downturn for TRB, marked by a significant sell-off by major participants.
Today, TRB’s price exhibited extraordinary volatility, soaring from $200 to an all-time high (ATH) of $602.98, only to experience a sharp decline, plummeting to as low as $130. The current price hovers around $191, reflecting a substantial 32% decline. Notably, TRB’s contract liquidation surpassed $60 million during this period, making it the coin with the largest liquidation amount in both the past 12 and 24 hours.
