About Celsius Network

Celsius Degree Token (CEL) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2018. It originated as the native asset of the Celsius Network, a centralized lending and borrowing platform that operated globally from Hoboken, New Jersey.

The Celsius Network allowed depositors to earn variable yields on a range of digital assets—including Bitcoin and Ethereum—while simultaneously enabling borrowers to secure fiat loans fully collateralized by their crypto holdings. This structure attacked the liquidity trap that forced long-term holders to sell positions during cash crunches. Yield was partly funded by institutional lending and proprietary trading, a design that aimed to keep user-facing rates competitive without charging account fees.

The CEL token operates on the Ethereum network as an ERC-20 asset, with additional contract deployments across Polygon, Fantom, Harmony, and Energi. These multi-chain instances extended the token’s reach into several ecosystems, though all core platform logic remained centralized under the company’s control.

CEL’s multi-chain deployment spans networks that each share Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, simplifying cross-chain movement for arbitrageurs and wallet users. The project maintained an open-source JavaScript SDK and publicly verifiable smart contracts, but no standalone consensus mechanism; token transfers settled according to the security rules of whichever host chain processed them.

Celsius was founded in 2017 by Alex Mashinsky, Daniel Leon, and Nuke Goldstein. A $50 million initial coin offering in March 2018 funded the platform’s launch, and CEL began trading publicly in April of that year. By May 2022, the company claimed $12 billion in assets under management and $8 billion in loans originated. The enterprise unraveled rapidly that June when management froze all withdrawals, citing extreme market conditions, and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2022.

The platform’s explicit aim was to realign financial incentives in favor of depositors, offering yields partly drawn from institutional lending and discretionary trading profits. Its model promised to return up to 80% of revenue to users while charging no fees, a design intended to circumvent the extractive practices of traditional banking.

CEL operated as the vehicle for interest disbursements; depositors could opt to receive yield in CEL, often at a higher percentage than in-kind payments. Borrowers, meanwhile, could secure crypto-backed loans with annual rates as low as zero percent, a structure that made the token central to the network’s cost-of-capital dynamics. The protocol’s treasury consistently bought CEL from secondary markets to cover these reward obligations, a practice that concentrated buy-side pressure during periods of user growth.

Retail users deposited assets to earn variable APY, while institutional partners sourced liquidity for loans, though the token itself played no staking or validation role in a decentralized consensus. A depositor holding Bitcoin could pledge it as collateral, receive a USD loan near instantly, and bypass capital gains realization. A user maximizing CEL holdings saw both amplified deposit yields and materially cheaper borrowing costs, creating a self-reinforcing incentive to accumulate the token.

Celsius Degree Token has a total supply of 35,719,125.90 CEL. Currently, 35,719,125.90 CEL are in circulation, reflecting a fully distributed supply with no minting or inflationary mechanism. With a market capitalization of $676,381, Celsius Degree Token ranks #3,400 among all cryptocurrencies.
