According to a court filing on November 28, “Celsius eligible custody users” are customers with “Class 6A General Custody Claims and/or Class 6B Withdrawable Custody Claim.” These users can withdraw 72.5% of their crypto holdings, excluding transaction fees, until February 28.
However, only specific custody assets are currently available for withdrawal, while all other cryptocurrencies remain inaccessible.
For a seamless process, Celsius urged users to withdraw their assets from the Celsius app and make personal records of any information they may find useful, emphasizing that the app will only be available for a limited time.
We strongly encourage you to withdraw these assets from the Celsius app and take personal records of information you may find useful immediately, as the Celsius app will only be available for a limited time.
