Celsius Completes $2 Billion Crypto Distributions Amid Legal Scrutiny
Celsius, a cryptocurrency lending platform, recently emerged from bankruptcy proceedings, announcing that most eligible creditors have received their cryptocurrency distributions.
The distributions were facilitated by payment giant PayPal and crypto exchange Coinbase, with approximately $2 billion worth of crypto, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, transferred to creditors.
However, holders who didn’t agree to the restructuring plan won’t receive distributions until their claims are resolved.
Additionally, potential challenges may arise for some holders if Coinbase or PayPal flag compliance issues.
Speculation surrounds the restructuring’s impact on the broader crypto market, as Celsius reallocates assets for creditor repayments.
