Celsius is preparing a plan to refund users “stuck” on the platform. Accordingly, the company will sell all altcoin balances on customer accounts in exchange for BTC & ETH. According to the balance sheet for April, the total altcoin sell pressure amounts to $279M:
- $CEL: $100M
- $MATIC: $58M
- $ADA: $29M
- $LINK: $20M
- $LTC: $19M
Except for CEL, which is the native token of Celsius, most are MATIC and ADA. These are all highly liquid coins, with such a selling force that can not be expected to affect the price of these tokens much. This gives users of the platform some peace of mind about the future repayment plan.
