Breaking: Bankrupt Celsius Reaches Settlement To Pay $24 Million Over GK8 Sale

During Celsius’ bankruptcy proceedings, the self-custody platform GK8 was sold to Galaxy Digital. Although the specifics of the transaction were not made public, sources had previously indicated that the price was much lower than the $115 million Celsius had paid for it.

Disputes Over Settlements

The settlement was reached despite significant disagreement regarding the suggested distribution of monies. The majority of Series B shareholders are currently pleading with the court to accept the settlement and continue the bankruptcy procedure.

A mutual desire to avoid expensive litigation, a controversial and drawn-out confirmation procedure, and a concomitant rise in professional expenses gave rise to the Settlement Agreement, the filing said. The proposed allocation is a material aspect of the agreement reached between the Debtors, the Committee, and the Initial Consenting Series B Preferred Holders, which accord was meticulously negotiated and is eminently reasonable, it added. 

In November 2021, the bankrupt cryptocurrency lender completed its Series B investment. The oversubscribed round was spearheaded by the growth equity company Westcap and one of Quebec’s pension funds, increasing the amount from $400 million to $750 million.

Looking Forward To The Court

The filing concluded by saying that the Settlement provides the Debtors and all parties with precious confidence about the future in addition to unlocking significant value for the Debtors’ creditors. Therefore, it stated that the Motion should be granted, and the Court should overturn the objections.

The SEC sued Celsius and its former CEO Alex Mashinsky last week, alleging that they raised billions through illegal and fraudulent sales of “crypto-asset securities,” misled investors about the company’s financial situation, and artificially inflated the price of the native Celsius token.

AAVE, PEPE, and UNI Are Tokens to Keep an Eye On, Here’s Why

Image
AAVE may retest $100 if the shorter period Moving Average (MA) continues to outpace the longer term MA. PEPE may hold strongly to $0.000001 but it could soon be overbought. UNI’s potential to reach $6 remains very valid based on the AO and MACD. The trio of Aave (AAVE), Pepe (PEPE), and Uniswap (UNI) were part of the top cryptocurrencies bought on exchanges on November 9. This data was disclosed by hitesh.eth, a crypto research specialist on X (formerly Twitter). According to hitesh.eth, PEPE had a net flow of $4.74 million. AAVE has $3.2 million while UNI has $2.64 million.

In the case, of AAVE, PEPE, and UNI, the analyst noted that it was more of an accumulation. Top 5 Coins Investors bought on Exchanges Yes...
