According to the announcement, users who do not withdraw their funds before November 22 will not lose any funds. Bitstamp has announced that it will allow users to make withdrawals even if their trading is stopped. According to the exchange, withdrawals will be active after the specified date. In addition, CEL investment transactions will be closed after this date. FTT investment transactions will also be open for a while.
Pay attention to these
Bitstamp users will not have a chance to trade CEL and FTT tokens after 15:00 on November 22. After this date, all token transactions will be suspended. Users’ individual accounts will contain trading history for both tokens. Both tokens have fallen victim to the mismanagement of the teams behind them, as a result of Celsius’ explosion that resulted in a disastrous 90% drop for token holders and massive losses for the banking platform. The CEL price has lost more than 90% of its value after the events in May.
Celsuis and FTX Token (FTT) walk away from the market
The collapse of the company was primarily caused by the liquidity crisis and poor fund management. According to Celsius’ bankruptcy filing, the company only has $167 million in cash on hand. It now needs to close the $1.2 billion deficit on its balance sheet. There is no need to explain further what happened at FTT. The actions of Sam Bankman-Friend and his partners caused an $8 billion gap in their balance sheets, backlogs and a market crash.
