XRP On Growth Path As Ripple Considers Purchasing Assets Of Cash-Strapped Firm Celsius
Ripple, the blockchain payments company behind the XRP cryptocurrency, is reportedly considering acquiring assets belonging to beleaguered crypto lending firm Celsius.
According to a Reuters report, a spokesperson from Ripple disclosed that the firm was “interested in learning about Celsius and its assets,” in addition to assessing whether any of them could be relevant to their business. The move was informed by Ripple’s continued growth and desire to expand its business despite the hurdles facing the crypto market at large. Ripple "aktivno traži mogućnosti spajanja i preuzimanja za strateško povećanje tvrtke,” rekao je glasnogovornik.
Pomak dolazi nakon Celzija podnio stečaj u lipnju, navodeći "ekstremne tržišne uvjete" i priznajući rupu od 1.2 milijarde dolara u svojoj bilanci. Celsius je međutim bio otvoren za ponude za kupnju čak i dok istražuje putove spašavanja za vjerovnike koji su gomilali pritisak na njega.
The June chapter 11 bankruptcy filings disclosed that Celcius holds a variety of possessions including digital assets held in custody accounts, loans, the company’s own CEL token, Bank cash and a bitcoin mining business. Last week, Ripple lawyers made an application seeking to be enjoined in the bankruptcy proceedings despite not being a major creditor for Celcius.
Iako Ripple has not done any major acquisition deals previously, some pundits believe Celsius’s attractive legal background could be the key reason for Ripple’s increased interest in the firm, especially given its tučnjava s Komisijom za vrijednosne papire.
"Znamo Ripple is trying to buy Celsius. Why? Celsius marketed itself as a type of crypto bank,” Rekla je Lisa Daly, voditeljica digitalnih proizvoda u BlackRocku, "Celsius mreža je regulirana platforma za zajmove "sukladna SEC-u" koja korisnicima omogućuje primanje kamata na položenu kriptovalutu ili uzimanje zajmova osiguranih kripto kolateralom."
Osnovan 2017. godine od strane izvršnog direktora Alexa Mashinskyja, Celsius je brzo rastao zahvaljujući svojim atraktivnim kamatama za korisnike koje su prošle godine procijenile 3.5 milijardi dolara. Tvrtka se, međutim, našla zarobljena u krizi likvidnosti s većinom svoje kripto imovine koja je deprecirala zajedno sa širokim kripto tržištem, unatoč tome što su joj kamatne stope na dug ostale visoke. Loše financijsko upravljanje i oluja implozije stabilcoina uzrokovana Terrom, koja je uzrokovala široke gubitke za nekoliko istaknutih igrača u industriji, kasnije će baciti Celsius na koljena.
That said, while a favourable outcome could come out of Ripple’s quest, it is unclear if the firm seeks to acquire Celsius altogether. In June, a source revealed that FTX “was interested in making a deal with Celsius but walked away” because of the irredeemable state of its finances, instead settling on BlockFi.
