Celsius, a troubled cryptocurrency network, is currently in court seeking approval to initiate customer repayments by year-end and gain complete approval for its reorganization plan. The repayment to creditors will involve a combination of $2.03 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum and shares in the newly established company following the reorganization. The new company, NewCo, will offer a user-owned Bitcoin miner and will be funded primarily by a consortium known as Fahrenheit LLC, led by Arrington Capital. Most creditors have approved the proposed restructuring plans.Celsius’ troubles began last year following the fall of Terra and the contagion that ensued, affecting hundreds of other projects. In recent months, the network has suffered further harsher developments, including a fine of $4.7 billion by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for mismanaging customer’s funds. If the restructuring is approved, it will be the first crypto company to see a rebirth after last year’s fall. At the same time, Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky is facing legal trouble of his own for fraud charges.
