Celsius, a centralized crypto lender that filed for bankruptcy in July, has filed a motion with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York that would see certain customers gain access to digital holdings they had deposited on the Celsius platform.
Liqduity-strapped cryptocurrency lender Celsius has filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 with the New York-based Bankruptcy Court. According to the press release published on Wednesday, the company is seeking to restructure and stabilize its business operations to maximize value for all stakeholders. Celsius has between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets, accordion to the filing.

Recall that Celsius paused withdrawals last month to protect itself from potential bankruptcy stemming from the broader cryptocurrency downturn and the drastic increase in user withdrawals.
