Celsius situation. On July 13, a month after freezing customer funds, Celsius settled its debts to creditors, returned collateral totaling more than $1 billion, and filed for bankruptcy to restructure. At the first court hearing, Celsius’ lawyers said that most of the user funds on the platform were actually at the company’s disposal.
