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 “正在积极寻找并购机会，以战略性地扩大公司规模，” 发言人说。
此举是在摄氏之后 申请破产 1.2 月，以“极端市场条件”为由，并承认其资产负债表存在 XNUMX 亿美元的漏洞。 然而，Celsius 一直对收购要约持开放态度，尽管它正在为一直对其施加压力的债权人探索救助途径。
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.
尽管 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 混战 与证券交易委员会。
“我们知道， Ripple is trying to buy Celsius. Why? Celsius marketed itself as a type of crypto bank,” 贝莱德的数字产品经理 Lisa Daly 说， “Celsius 网络是一个受监管的、‘符合 SEC 标准’的借贷平台，它使用户能够获得所存加密货币的利息或获取加密货币抵押贷款。”
Celsius 由首席执行官 Alex Mashinsky 于 2017 年创立，由于其对用户具有吸引力的利率而迅速增长，去年估值为 3.5 亿美元。 然而，该公司发现自己陷入了流动性危机，尽管其债务利率仍然居高不下，但其大部分加密资产与广泛的加密市场一起贬值。 金融管理不善和 Terra 引发的稳定币内爆风暴给几家著名的行业参与者造成了广泛的损失，后来让摄氏公司屈服了。
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.
