I’m glad I’m one of the few who have gotten almost their entire money back. I hope everyone else gets theirs in due time.
Clients report receiving an email a few weeks ago listing people who could withdraw their funds, before receiving another on March 2 stating that withdrawals could be processed..
While some users who whitelisted their wallets before attempting to withdraw their funds received them within minutes, others reported long delays.
However, a backlog of removal attempts seems to have been piling up, with some claiming that removal requests are turning into support tickets that could take several days to process as a result of “too many requests and not enough staff”.
On January 31, Celsius published details about who could withdraw fundsand customers who had only held funds in escrow accounts were currently able to withdraw 94% of their original funds.
Custodial accounts were only available to US residents. Withdrawals are restricted to these customersmuch to the disappointment of customers with funds in other accounts offered by Celsius.
Custodial account holders could still recover the other 6%, pending future court hearings.
Clients who had transferred funds from earnings programs or loans to an escrow account can apparently withdraw 72.5% of their funds at this time, up to a maximum of $7,575.
The lender had first announced it would freeze withdrawals on June 13, citing “extreme market conditions,” before filing for bankruptcy on July 13..
