The token remains down by 83% from its all-time high seen in June last year.According to a recovery plan proposed by Simon Dixon, the founder of the crypto-focused investment firm Bnk to the Future, “financial innovation” is the only way to find a “timely solution” to the situation Celsius now finds itself in.Celsius last week halted withdrawals for all customers, citing “extreme market conditions” as its reason for doing so.
