Celsius Keeps Redeeming About $64M Altcoins Including LINK, MATIC, AAVE

Celsius Network altcoins continue to move following the US bankruptcy court’s decision to allow a bankrupt crypto lender to exchange tokens for bitcoin and ether starting this month. Arkham Intelligence blockchain data shows that the company moved at least $64 million in crypto to a wallet labeled “Celsius Network: OTC” from the company’s “Fireblocks Custody” wallet in multiple transactions on Wednesday afternoon. The most significant transactions were $19.3 million in Chainlink’s LINK token.

Based on court documents, the court’s recent decision means Celsius has the potential to sell $170 million in smaller cryptocurrency. Switching a large number of tokens can put significant pressure on the market of smaller tokens, significantly as liquidity for these tokens has decreased over the past year. However, with positive developments from the altcoin market after Ripple’s XRP token was declared by the court as not a security that is arguably more favorable for Celsius at this time. It is known that since Celsius filed for bankruptcy, CEL has gradually lost interest in the community, and the token price also dropped below $1 after peaking at over $8 in 2021.
