Cryptocurrency lending platform C Network announced this week a $ 400 million round of capital led by Canadian pension fund Caisse de Đépôt et position du Québec (CDPQ) and private equity firm WestCap.

Celsius Network CEO Alex Mashinsky revealed to Cointelegraph the financial impact the platform is having on the credit sector:

“With over $ 25 billion in assets and over $ 850 million in profits paid out to over 1.1 million users, Celsius has paid out ten times more profits to the crypto community than any other donor. Any other loan . “

This funding news coincides with tightened political scrutiny of crypto lending platforms in the United States. In September of that year, Celsius faced legal opposition from the Texas State Securities Commission and the New Jersey Securities Bureau to threaten to cease operations for the alleged sale of unregistered securities.

Even so, Celsius has always maintained its innocence of wrongdoing and is ready to communicate and cooperate with regulators.

Some of its liquidity pools have attracted notable attention due to their lucrative returns, such as USDC deposits, which offer an annual percentage return (APY) of 21.67%, and the Dai pool, which offers 26.43% APY.

Despite this above-average, industry-standard return, OlympusDAO has really made headlines in Fuse Protocol’s Tetranode Locker for the past few months.
