Celsius to Sell Altcoins and Convert to Bitcoin and Ethereum in Revised Bankruptcy Filing

June 15 (Cointime) - Crypto lender Celsius has submitted a revised bankruptcy filing to a New York court after being acquired by Fahrenheit. The new plan involves selling all altcoins from customers (excluding Custody and Withhold accounts) and converting them into Bitcoin and Ethereum from July 1. However, the restructuring proposal may face opposition from borrowers who object to Celsius demanding repayment of loans without fulfilling contractual obligations to return collateral. Celsius has also requested permission to appoint Chris Ferraro as foreign representative for the UK, to safeguard assets there and acknowledge the US Chapter 11 as the "foreign main proceedings".

    In our 4-part series named “The Value of Ether”, we have discussed in detail the framework in which we think it is most appropriate to link value accrual to ETH token holders with the underlying mechanics that operate the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, we have laid out a case on how increased usage of the network has an impact on supply dynamics and can therefore have a knock-on effect on the value of the Ether token.

    A mid-term approach to price modelling Bitcoin is something entirely new, something never before observed. Because of this, many of the trusted tools in our financial toolkits might simply not do a very good job of modelling its performance, and it’s causing apprehension among analysts who are used to deploying certain modelling tools to make sense of asset pricing.

  • Introducing eoracle - the Ethereum Oracle

    Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.

    The Bitcoin block reward is forecast to halve on April 20th. This is seen as a bullish catalyst for crypto markets. I agree that it will pump prices in the medium term; however, the price action directly before and after could be negative. The narrative of the halving being positive for crypto prices is well entrenched. When most market participants agree on a certain outcome, the opposite usually occurs. That is why I believe Bitcoin and crypto prices in general will slump around the halving.
