Investment Management Company Apollo Bid for Bankrupt Celsius Cryptocurrency Lender

Apollo, one of the largest alternative investment management companies, is involved in a bid to acquire bankrupt cryptocurrency lender Celsius. This was reported by Coindesk sources.

The winner of the Celsius auction has not yet been announced. The sale process was recently suspended, and a new date has not been announced.

Investors in NovaWulf’s bid – if it is selected as the winner – will receive a tiered management fee, plus additional payments.

NovaWulf is partnering with blockchain firm Provenance, which plans to participate in the Celsius update. Figure, a subsidiary of Provenance, which also works with Apollo, also has plans for Celsius.

Last July, Celsius filed for financial insolvency (bankruptcy). The company was supposed to submit a restructuring plan within four months, but soon asked the court to extend the deadline to June 30.

Lawyers for the cryptocurrency lender explained that the extension is crucial because it will allow the platform to resolve the situation more quickly and smoothly.

In April, it became known that organizations backed by Gemini and Coinbase will participate in an auction to sell the assets of the bankrupt cryptocurrency lender.
