Blockchain-based lending platform Celsius (CEL) Network has raised $20.17
million from more than 1,000 investors with one day to go in its recently
extended crowdfunding offering.

The most recent extension occurred long after passing the $17 million ‘target
’, which itself was a substantial increase on the original $10 million to
$15 million target.

Celsius trumpeted it’s $10.7 million raised from 39 investors on the first
day of the offering, but it then took 44 more days to raise the next $10
million. It emerged that Tether had tipped in $10M.

Celsius founder and CEO Alex Mashinsky announced several extensions since
launching the offering on private equity crowdfunding platform
BankToTheFuture in June.


Celsius’ latest extension was announced August 21. In the past 24 hours as
the clock ticked down to the deadline, a further $171,000 in investment from
20 new participants was tipped in.

That may be partly related to Celsius announcing an increase in stablecoin
earnings to as much as 15.89% APY. Mashinsky boasted that “stablecoin
holders can earn over 100x what a traditional bank offers through the Celsius
platform.”

However, Celsius’ public offering has been hampered by unsubstantiated
rumors of financial difficulties, with The Block’s Larry Cermak claiming
that the funding round comprised a desperate attempt to keep the company
afloat:

“There is a story in there for why Celsius raised so abruptly last month. We
got several tips that they were very close to shutting down. 100% agree with
you on the lack of transparency, I would be cautious about using them”

Responding on Twitter, Mashinsky highlighted that the Celsius treasury owns
over $150 million in assets, asserting that Tether’s (USDT) $10 million
investment evidences the company is not in financial trouble.

Celsius currently has over $1.1 billion in coins on the platform from over
150,000 users. The company’s main income source is through retail and
institutional lending, with up to 80% of all revenue given back to the
community.

評論：
英文一大堆，大約是說這家最近利息很高，有人說它快倒了，但是公司CEO說Tether有
投資我們（我記得是1/3股份）所以很安全，安啦。

我覺得不介意利息低一點的話，還是有Crypto.com跟BlockFi可以選。Celsius Network的
App真的做得蠻差的。
