Celsius begins $220M distribution in third payout round to creditors

2 min read

Celsius Network has started its third repayment, sending $220.6 million to creditors as part of its ongoing reorganization plan.

Summary
  • Celsius launched its third payout on Aug. 20, distributing $220.6M to creditors.
  • Total recovery now stands at 64.9%, with a final target of 67–85%.
  • Some creditors may also receive equity in Ionic Digital, its new mining firm.

Celsius announced on Aug. 20 that it has started its third round of distributions, totaling $220.6 million. This brings total recoveries to 64.9% of creditor claims. According to the company, the repayment includes both cryptocurrency and cash, distributed through platforms such as Coinbase, PayPal, Venmo, and Hyperwallet.

The distribution follows two payment rounds, with $127 million distributed in November 2024 and a $2.53 billion payout to more than 251,000 creditors in early 2024.

The reorganization plan, which was approved by 98% of creditors in 2023, aims for a 67%–85% eventual recovery. Celsius’s mining arm may also give some creditors stock in Ionic Digital Inc., a Bitcoin (BTC) mining company.

Celsius has requested that eligible creditors update their information through the official claims portal in order to prevent delays in payment. Some claimants may encounter additional delays as a result of ongoing legal and regulatory issues that affect repayment eligibility.

From collapse to partial recovery

Celsius’s bankruptcy in July 2022 was primarily caused by risky financial practices, market volatility, and poor liquidity management. At its peak, the platform, which relied on unsecured lending and leveraged trading, promised annual returns of up to 18%.

The 2022 market crash, worsened by exposure to Terra-Luna and decentralized finance losses, forced Celsius to freeze withdrawals and ultimately file for Chapter 11 with a $1.2 billion deficit.

The collapse led to the loss of billions of dollars in customer funds, regulatory crackdowns, and lawsuits against its leadership. Even though the repayment period is now past the halfway point, many creditors still experience a slow recovery that falls short of full compensation.

New Developments Could Push Price Toward $0.40

New Developments Could Push Price Toward $0.40

The post New Developments Could Push Price Toward $0.40 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Network has been one of the most anticipated projects in the crypto space, with millions of users mining its tokens via mobile devices long before a tradable price was established. Over the past few years, the project has carefully balanced its testnet development with community engagement, creating one of the largest ecosystems by user count despite not being fully listed on major exchanges. As 2025 advances, new updates are pushing Pi Network closer to mainstream adoption. Analysts suggest these developments could serve as the catalyst that finally drives Pi’s price toward the $0.40 level, a milestone that would validate years of community patience. In this context, investors are watching closely to see if Pi Network can turn its massive user base into sustainable value. Alongside this story, presale projects like MAGACOIN FINANCE are also drawing attention as speculative plays offering high asymmetry before exchange listings. Pi Network’s unique approach Unlike most cryptocurrencies, Pi Network built its community first, launching a mobile mining app that allowed millions of users to accumulate tokens without high-end hardware. This grassroots approach created unprecedented scale, with more than 50 million pioneers participating globally. The challenge, however, has always been translating this scale into economic value. By focusing on KYC verification, ecosystem apps, and gradual migration toward mainnet, the team has aimed to avoid the pitfalls of rushed launches. Analysts argue that this deliberate approach is what could allow Pi Network to sustain value once it achieves full exchange listings. Recent developments In 2025, Pi Network rolled out several updates that have sparked renewed optimism. Expanded KYC processes have accelerated, allowing more users to validate their holdings and prepare for migration. At the same time, Pi App Platform has gained traction, with developers launching decentralized apps directly into the Pi ecosystem. These apps range from…
