Bankrupt crypto lender Celsius was granted an extension on its exclusivity period until Feb. 15, 2023. The court approval gives the troubled crypto lender another couple of months to file for a Chapter 11 restructuring plan.<\/p>\n
The approval to extend the exclusivity period came after two court hearings on Dec. 6. In a tweet, Celsius said it requested approval to permit the sale of stablecoins, aimed at providing liquidity for continued operations. The judge has indicated that he will share his decision soon, likely next week.<\/p>\n
Celsius hopes to use the extension period to develop a plan for a stand-alone business, saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cWe explore all value-maximizing opportunities available to us for the benefit of our customers and other stakeholders.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Celsius filed for an extension of the exclusivity period on Nov. 10 with the hopes of making substantial progress. Reorganization is a process of implementing a business plan to alter a corporation\u2019s structure or finances under government supervision because of financial duress.<\/p>\n Celsius today filed a motion requesting approval to extend the Exclusivity Periods in our cases. This is the period when Celsius has the exclusive right to submit a plan of reorganization.<\/p>\n\n
