Yello Paradisers! Celsius Network, the crypto lender that faced challenges, is on the verge of making a significant comeback. They’re knocking on the court’s door, hoping to get a green light for their restructuring plan, aiming to start repaying their customers by the close of 2023.
📰 Deep Dive
During a recent confirmation hearing in New York, Christopher Koenig, representing Celsius legally, unveiled plans for a new entity named “NewCo.” This new venture is expected to kick off with a whopping $450 million in seed funding. What’s even more intriguing? Celsius has set its sights on repaying its creditors with a mix of $2.03 billion in Bitcoin and shares in “NewCo.”
📰 Supporters on Board
Backing “NewCo” is a consortium named Fahrenheit LLC, taking charge of the mining and staking operations.
📰 Legal Matters
All eyes are now on Judge Martin Glenn, who’s deliberating on whether to give Celsius’s restructuring plan the nod. While the plan awaits clearance from security regulators, it’s noteworthy that it has already secured a majority vote of approval. However, a few creditors are raising eyebrows and challenging it.
📰 In Their Words
Celsius confidently stated, “The Debtors arrive at Confirmation with a Plan that has the support of over 95% of voting Account Holders by both number and dollar amount.”
📰 A Look Back
For those out of the loop, Celsius had hit a roadblock in June 2022, halting withdrawals post the Terra ecosystem’s downfall. If their plan gets the go-ahead, Celsius could be among the first crypto platforms from 2022 to bounce back via a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.
