About
Celsius (CEL)

Celsius Network, with its native CEL token, emerged as a major centralized finance (CeFi) platform designed to bridge the gap between traditional banking and the world of digital assets. Its primary function was to offer users the ability to earn yield on their cryptocurrency holdings and to take out crypto-collateralized loans. The platform operated on a custodial basis, managing user funds to generate interest income through lending activities to institutional borrowers. This model positioned it as a user-friendly alternative for crypto holders seeking to put their assets to work without navigating complex DeFi protocols.

The CEL token was the core of its loyalty and rewards system. As a utility token, holding and using CEL provided tangible benefits within the Celsius ecosystem, such as preferential interest rates for both earning and borrowing. Users could receive higher yields on their deposited assets and lower rates on loans, with rewards often distributed weekly in the form of CEL. This tokenomics structure was designed to incentivize user loyalty and drive demand for the native asset. However, the platform faced significant operational challenges and market pressures, which ultimately led to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, profoundly impacting its users and reshaping the narrative around risk in the CeFi lending industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the common methods to buy Celsius (CEL) with Swiss Francs (CHF)?

    To purchase the CEL token with CHF, you typically need a cryptocurrency exchange that lists CEL and offers a CHF fiat on-ramp. The most common method is a SEPA transfer from a Swiss bank account, known for its low cost. Some platforms may also accept credit/debit card payments in CHF. You will need to complete KYC/AML verification on the exchange before making a digital asset purchase and trading on their order book.

  • Are there specific Swiss regulations (FINMA) to consider when trading the CHF/CEL pair?

    Yes, any cryptocurrency trading involving the Swiss Franc falls under the purview of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). It is crucial to use a regulated digital asset exchange that is compliant with FINMA's anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. This ensures the fiat gateway for your CHF is secure and that the platform adheres to strict operational standards, though FINMA does not specifically endorse any single digital asset like CEL.

  • How are blockchain transaction fees (gas) handled when moving CEL purchased with CHF?

    After you buy CEL on an exchange with CHF, the tokens are held in your exchange wallet. If you decide to withdraw them to a personal digital wallet, you will initiate a blockchain transaction. Since CEL is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network, this transaction requires 'gas' fees, which are paid in Ethereum (ETH), not CEL or CHF. These fees compensate network validators and can fluctuate based on network congestion.

  • What was the original utility of the CEL token within the Celsius Network ecosystem?

    Historically, the CEL token, an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, was central to the Celsius Network's CeFi platform. Its primary utility was to provide loyalty rewards. Holding CEL tokens allowed users to access better rates on interest-earning accounts and lower interest on crypto-backed loans. This model aimed to incentivize holding the native token for enhanced yield generation, but this utility is no longer functional due to the platform's bankruptcy.

  • What are the primary risks associated with trading CEL tokens today?

    The main risk is that the CEL token's original utility tied to the Celsius Network is now defunct following the company's bankruptcy. The token is now a highly speculative digital asset, and its value is driven purely by market sentiment on secondary markets. There is no underlying platform generating value for it, leading to extreme price volatility and significant risk of capital loss. Its liquidity can also be thin, making it difficult to execute large trades.

  • What is the difference between depositing CHF via SEPA transfer versus a credit card to buy CEL?

    The primary differences are speed and cost. A SEPA transfer from a Swiss bank is generally much cheaper, often with minimal to no fees, but can take 1-2 business days to process. A credit/debit card purchase is typically instant, allowing you to acquire CEL immediately, but usually comes with higher processing fees (e.g., 2-4%) imposed by the payment processor. For larger digital asset purchases, SEPA is often the more cost-effective fiat on-ramp solution.
