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 "er virkur að leita að M&A tækifærum til að stækka fyrirtækið á beittan hátt,“ sagði talsmaðurinn.

Flutningurinn kemur eftir Celsíus lögð fyrir gjaldþrot í júní þar sem hann vitnaði í „öfgakennda markaðsaðstæður“ og viðurkenndi 1.2 milljarða dollara gat í efnahagsreikningi sínum. Celsius hefur hins vegar verið opinn fyrir kauptilboðum, jafnvel þegar það kannar björgunarleiðir fyrir kröfuhafa sem hafa verið að safna þrýstingi gegn því.

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.

Þó 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 skrípaleikur hjá Verðbréfaþinginu.

"Við vitum Ripple is trying to buy Celsius. Why? Celsius marketed itself as a type of crypto bank,” Sagði Lisa Daly Digital Product Manager hjá BlackRock, "Celsíus net er skipulegur, "SEC-samhæfður" útlánavettvangur sem gerir notendum kleift að fá vexti af innborguðum dulmáli eða taka dulmálslán með veði.

Celsius var stofnað árið 2017 af forstjóra Alex Mashinsky og hafði vaxið hratt vegna aðlaðandi vaxta til notenda sem notuðu 3.5 milljarða dala verðmat á síðasta ári. Fyrirtækið fann sig hins vegar fast í lausafjárkreppu þar sem flestar dulritunareignir þess lækkuðu samhliða breiðum dulmálsmarkaði, þrátt fyrir að skuldavextir þess haldist hækkaðir. Fjárhagsleg óstjórn og Terra-induced stablecoin implosion stormurinn, sem olli víðtæku tapi fyrir nokkra áberandi leikmenn í iðnaði, myndu síðar knésetja Celsíus. 

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.
