Celsius (CEL) suddenly jumped over 30%
CEL, the native token of embattled crypto lender Celsius, has suddenly jumped more than 30% as a new beacon of hope for Celsius customers. The uptrend hit the intraday high of $0.72 on December 5 before a pullback. CEL cleared some of the previous day’s gains. However, at press time, it was trading at $0.682, up over 9% in the last 24 hours. The altcoin has gained more than 30% in the last seven days.
The reasons for the sudden rise are not fully known. However, it is likely to be caused by a ‘short squeeze’. Since June, the crypto lender has stopped allowing withdrawals on its platform. Celsius went bankrupt in July after the market slump triggered a liquidity crisis for the entire industry. Since seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the company has been going through bankruptcy proceedings. Accordingly, he is talking about selling some of his assets.

CAKE, the native token of PancakeSwap, the decentralized exchange (DEX) backed by the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance, has carried out a multimillion-dollar transaction. PancakeSwap announced on its December 5 announcement that 6.9 million CAKEs worth $28 million were burned, which positively affects the price of the respective token as burning reduces the circulating supply. Accordingly, CAKE also saw a price increase. However, it did not please its investors too much. Because, it gave back its gains and went back to its horizontal course.
