Celsius said its assets in CEL tokens amounted to about $600 million. However, in the same documents the company noted that as of July 12 the token’s total market capitalization was about $170.3 million.<\/p>\n

According to sources, FTX found a hole in Celsius’s balance sheet of about $2 billion.<\/p>\n On 13 June the platform suspended withdrawals, exchanges and transfers<\/a> between accounts. A month later, on 14 July, Celsius Network and some of its subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Prior to this, the platform fully repaid a loan in the DeFi protocol MakerDAO<\/a> and withdrew a total of 23,962 WBTC of collateral. Just a few hours after repaying this debt Celsius transferred 24,463 WBTC to the FTX address<\/a>.<\/p>\n On 13 July Celsius repaid the last major loan in the DeFi protocol Compound and withdrew slightly under $200 million in WBTC, and the day before \u2014 a loan in the Aave protocol, freeing collateral in more than 400,000 stETH.<\/p>\n
