According to a company blog post, eligible users will be able to withdraw all funds from their accounts up to a certain limit. The Court authorized Celsius to reopen withdrawals for some customers with assets held in Custody Accounts in two categories.
The first one is the “Pure” assets of the Custody Account. These are assets that were never in the Earn Program or on loan from Celsius and that were transferred to the Custody Program. In this case, there is no limit to the total number of digital assets to be withdrawn.
The second is “Transferred” Custody Assets. These are assets that customers moved from the Earn or Loan Program to the Escrow Program in the 90 days prior to Celsius filing for Chapter 11 protection, on July 13, 2022. In this case, Celsius will allow withdrawals for customers who transferred less than $7,575. Customers who moved amounts greater than this cannot withdraw at this time.
Celsius: who can not cash out
They also cannot withdraw current and former Celsius employees, including “insiders”, as well as affiliates of current and former Celsius employees. Likewise, customers with an active loan on December 20, 2022 cannot make withdrawals. Finally, users whose custody assets are lower than the withdrawal transaction fees are ineligible.
Celsius further informed that it is authorized to distribute 94% of the Custody Assets of each eligible user minus transaction fees.
“Note that Eligible Users who withdraw 94% of their Distributable Escrow Assets prior to the Court’s approval of the settlement will be required to pay a second withdrawal fee if the Court approves the settlement and authorizes Celsius to distribute the remaining 6%,” noted to Celsius.
There is no deadline for withdrawals. But users cannot withdraw tokens and for security reasons.
As reported by CriptoFácil, Celsius obtained approval to process certain withdrawals in January. The following month, the company published a list of usernames that could withdraw assets on the platform.
