Bitcoin and altcoin lending platform Nexo has stepped forward to present a buyout offer to rival Celsius. Earlier, Celsius announced that it would cease all services between accounts due to extreme market conditions. While Nexo has not made a direct offer so far, the platform said in a Twitter thread that it has sufficient funds to pursue such an offer.

Amid the price crash, Nexo reports that it is a solid liquidity and equity position. It offers to acquire all remaining qualifying assets of Celsius. He specifically mentioned the platform’s secured loan portfolio. The portfolio is under extreme pressure due to staked Ethereum depegging. Nexo added that any of the bids to Celsius will be made public. Nexo underlined that they reached out to the Celsius team yesterday to offer support as a gesture of goodwill. However, Celsius allegedly refused to seek help. Celsius stated that it stopped withdrawals with the following words:
