Good News for the Bankrupt Crypto Lending Platform

About 900k STETH and regular ETH have been staked in Ethereum, the cryptocurrency on which Celsius is most heavily weighted. As of right now, (Lowest hole percentage) is experiencing a significant APR increase. Excellent for filling the gap and gradually gaining more eth. In this case, Ethereum, customers’ deposits are staked by Celsius in yield-producing decentralized finance (Defi) protocols like Lido.
