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 does the PEN/CEL trading pair represent and where can it be traded?

    The PEN/CEL pair represents the exchange rate between the Peruvian Sol (PEN) and the Celsius (CEL) token. Direct trading of this pair is extremely rare due to low liquidity and CEL's delisting from many centralized exchanges. Typically, a user would first use a fiat on-ramp to buy a major digital asset like Bitcoin (BTC) or a stablecoin with PEN, then transfer it to an exchange (often a decentralized exchange) that lists CEL to make the final trade.

  • What are the significant risks of trading the CEL token now?

    Trading CEL involves substantial risk, primarily due to the Celsius Network's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. The token's value is no longer tied to platform utility but is highly speculative, driven by news related to the bankruptcy case and potential recovery plans. Key risks include extreme price volatility, very low liquidity in the order books of remaining exchanges, and the possibility of the token becoming worthless depending on the outcome of the legal process. It is a high-risk digital asset suitable only for those with a high-risk tolerance.

  • What type of digital wallet is recommended for storing CEL tokens?

    Since CEL is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, a non-custodial digital wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens is highly recommended. Examples include MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor for enhanced security. Using a non-custodial wallet gives you full control over your private keys and your digital assets. This is particularly crucial given the history of Celsius Network freezing customer withdrawals from its custodial platform.

  • What was the original utility of the CEL token on the Celsius Network platform?

    The CEL token was an integral part of the Celsius Network, a centralized finance (CeFi) crypto lending platform. Its primary utility was to provide users with enhanced benefits. By holding CEL, users could receive higher yield rates on their deposited digital assets, get discounts on loan interest payments, and earn weekly rewards in CEL. This tokenomics model was designed to incentivize user loyalty and platform participation before the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

  • How can one typically purchase cryptocurrency with Peruvian Sol (PEN)?

    To purchase cryptocurrency with PEN, you generally use a cryptocurrency exchange that operates in Peru or accepts Peruvian customers. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) verification, and then funding your account. Common funding methods include direct Peruvian bank transfers or using local payment services like PagoEfectivo. Once funded, you can place an order on the exchange's order book to buy a liquid asset like BTC or USDT before seeking to trade it for a less common token like CEL.

  • Why is finding liquidity for the PEN/CEL pair a major challenge?

    Finding liquidity for PEN/CEL is challenging for two main reasons. Firstly, the Peruvian Sol (PEN) is not a major global fiat currency used in crypto trading, limiting its direct pairs. Secondly, the CEL token itself has become illiquid after the Celsius Network bankruptcy, leading to its removal from major centralized cryptocurrency exchanges. The remaining trading volume is concentrated on a few platforms, usually against major assets like ETH or USDT, not minor fiat currencies. This combination results in virtually non-existent order book depth for a direct PEN/CEL pair.
