Celsius Gets New Owners

Crypto consortium Fahrenheit acquired the bankruptcy-ridden crypto lending platform Celsius on May 25, 2023

Fahrenheit has announced its intention to develop a revised bankruptcy plan for Celsius Network.

However, details of these plans are yet to be made public. The latest ruling makes it clear that the owners will exclusively distribute the assets in Bitcoin and Ether.

Fahrenheit won the bid to acquire the Celsius Network’s institutional loan portfolio, staked cryptocurrencies, mining unit and other investments

As per the ruling, the new company will receive somewhere between $450 million and $500 million in liquid cryptocurrencies

Post its acquisition, Celsius is looking to negotiate and file a new plan sponsor agreement with Fahrenheit and a backup plan sponsor agreement with BRIC

The crypto lending firm will also file a revised Chapter 11 plan and a disclosure statement post bankruptcy court approval.

The decision to allow Celsius network’s debtors to convert altcoins to Bitcoin and Ether comes amid the US SEC’s ongoing crackdown on crypto exchanges and altcoins

The financial regulator has so far classified over 160 cryptocurrencies as securities, including Cardano, Polygon and Solana. Since then, many crypto companies have decided to convert their altcoin holdings to Bitcoin and Ether
