The firm also moved 146,507 ETH, valued at around $323.3 million, to Paxos, and another 7,800 ETH, worth $17.2 million, were transferred to FalconX.<\/p>\n<p>This latest transfer follows a series of similar <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/record-1-6-billion-of-staked-ethereum-redemptions-led-by-celsius-and-figment\/\">fund movements by Celsius<\/a> in recent days. On Jan. 24, blockchain investigator Lookonchain <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/1750705680913436723?s=20\">reported<\/a> that the firm deposited 18,000 ETH, worth $40 million, to Coinbase.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the crypto analytical platform Spot on Chain <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/spotonchain\/status\/1750694066357166356?s=20\">provided<\/a> a more in-depth analysis of the transfers. According to the firm, Celsius has deposited 740,321 ETH, worth an estimated $1.69 billion, to centralized exchanges, including FalconX, Coinbase, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/okx\/\">OKX<\/a>, and Paxos, since November 2023.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite these transactions, the firm still holds a sizeable amount of ETH. Its address retains 62,468 ETH, approximately $139 million as of press time.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Celsius making these transfers?<\/h2>\n<p>Spot On Chain's analysis suggests the possibility of an over-the-counter (OTC) transaction, as around 97.2% of the total deposited funds to Coinbase were withdrawn to 12 newly created wallets.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We noticed that 12 fresh wallets have withdrawn 296,835 $ETH (660M) from Coinbase shortly after Celsius deposited $ETH to the CEX, accounting for ~97.2% of the total deposited amount. This is probably an OTC deal,&#8221; the firm said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the motive behind the transfer remains undisclosed. But it coincides with creditors' anticipation of a potential repayment launch in February.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 25, the Celsius Newco Community <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CelsiusNewCo\/status\/1750610484431110515?s=20\">suggested<\/a> that the firm had an effective date of Jan. 31, with expectations of distributing liquid crypto to Earn Creditors starting mid-February.<\/p>\n<p>A Celsius distribution <a href=\"https:\/\/celsiusnetwork.medium.com\/celsius-distribution-faq-1cdd323251ef\">FAQ<\/a> hints at Coinbase being the platform of choice for creditor repayments in specific countries. Eighty-nine countries (excluding the United States) are eligible for the Coinbase distribution.<\/p>\n<p>The Celsius Creditors Community <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/communities\/1669297289158950912\">group<\/a> on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) also includes several creditors of the failed firm, who reveal that they received instructions to prepare for their Celsius distribution via Coinbase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bankrupt crypto lending platform Celsius has shifted 459,561 Ethereum (ETH), valued at over $1 billion, to centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, Paxos, and FalconX, in the past 24 hours, per on-chain data.
