Celsius explained in its recent press release that it halted withdrawals last month to avoid a bank run, quoting “Without a pause, the acceleration of withdrawals would have allowed certain customers—those who were first to act—to be paid in full while leaving others behind to wait for Celsius to harvest value from illiquid or longer-term asset deployment activities before they receive a recovery,“

The Right Decision

Through the press release, Co-Founder and CEO of Celsius, Alex Mashinsky expresses his opinion that filing for bankruptcy, saying “This is the right decision for our community and company,“

“We have a strong and experienced team in place to lead Celsius through this process. I am confident that when we look back at the history of Celsius, we will see this as a defining moment, where acting with resolve and confidence served the community and strengthened the future of the company.” He says.
