The Fantom Price fell below a key support level as investors are concerned about its ecosystem. It’s trading at $1.08, its lowest since September 2021 and 67% lower than its highest this year.
Fantom has lost momentum.
Fantom is a huge layer one network, a major competitor to Ethereum and Solana. It has been used to create some of the biggest DeFi, and non-fungible token (NFT) projects currently.
As per DeFi Llama, over 200 apps have been created in Fantom with a total value locked (TVL) of over $6.25 billion. Thus it’s the sixth-largest platform globally after Ethereum, Terra, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Solana.
The Fantom price fell by over 67% from its highest this year, thus worrying investors. Last week, it declared the exit of two of its biggest developers, Andre Cronje and Anton Nell, thus terminating about 25 projects.
