Breaking: Celsius Administrator Distributes $2.53 Billion to 251,000 Creditors

In a significant milestone in the bankruptcy proceedings of Celsius, the administrator has distributed $2.53 billion to 251,000 creditors. This move marks a major step towards providing relief to those affected by the crypto lender’s collapse.

The Distribution Breakdown

The distributions, made in liquid cryptocurrency and cash at January 16 prices, cover approximately two-thirds of all eligible creditors by number and about 93% of the eligible value. Of the $2.53 billion distributed, 64,000 recipients received less than $100, while 41,000 received between $100 and $1,000. Those who had been in uncertainty since Celsius’ collapse have gained hope, but not all qualified creditors have received their payments yet.

Challenges Ahead

The administrator still faces obstacles in restoring value to creditors, including Celsius’ non-compliance with regulations and ongoing enforcement actions. Additionally, there are 121,000 creditors who are still waiting for their share of the distributions, with an average of $1,500. The bankruptcy of Celsius has been characterized by significant uncertainty, as regulators and authorities conduct investigations into the company’s activities.

Legal Dispute with Tether

One of the most significant challenges facing the administrator is dealing with Celsius’ legal dispute with Tether. Celsius is attempting to retrieve $3.3 billion in bitcoin from the stablecoin issuer, which could have significant implications for creditors.

Importance of Regulatory Compliance

The current situation highlights the importance of ensuring regulatory compliance and risk management in the crypto space. As the space continues to evolve, it’s crucial that stakeholders prioritize transparency, security, and accountability to prevent similar collapses in the future.
