Recently, after Scroll announced its successful launch on Binance Launchpool, there was a wave of excitement with many calling it a massive win, saying “Scroll is going big.” However, soon after, Scroll revealed the snapshot and airdrop rules, and the sentiment shifted quickly. Many in the community started criticizing the project, with a lot of backlash focused on the so-called “5.5% Binance Listing Fee,” which is being viewed by many, including overseas influencers, as excessively high.

The core issue here is that given the current market conditions and liquidity situation, it’s impossible to satisfy all stakeholders. This has turned into a classic three-way zero-sum game between Binance, the project team, and airdrop hunters. In such a scenario, if one party benefits more, the other two have to compromise. For users expecting a substantial airdrop, the rules might seem disappointing; for Binance, the question of whether the listing fee is justified adds another layer of complexity.

What's interesting is that the pre-market phase was likely introduced as a buffer to address this very issue. It's a space where all the involved parties can gauge what Scroll is truly worth in the eyes of the market before it officially opens for trading. This pre-market period allows for the discovery of a more balanced and realistic price, reducing the friction that could arise during the actual listing.

One possible scenario is that certain participants might accumulate tokens at a lower price during the pre-market and then push for a price pump after the official launch. Of course, this is just speculation, but the dynamics of pre-market activity will certainly influence the opening price action. In the short term, SCR’s price could see high volatility due to the current unstable market sentiment.

What do you think about the pre-market pricing of Scroll and the potential price action once it officially launches?
