Before the liquidation, Celsius held approximately $164.5 million worth of altcoins on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain. With today’s sales, nearly $25 million worth of coins have been sold so far. The liquidation process marks a significant step in Celsius’s bankruptcy proceedings, as they seek to convert their altcoin assets into more liquid forms of cryptocurrency.
