The struggling cryptocurrency lending and borrowing firm Celsius’ CEL token skyrocketed when a corporate shareholder proposed a rescue plan and a $10 million payment was made to the decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Compound.
A rise in the rate of CEL, a token that Celsius issues as a reward to platform users, appears to be the result of a few positive Celsius-related news stories.
The token has increased by 52.4% over the previous 24 hours and by approximately 400% over the previous week when it was trading at a price of $1.41. The token is still down 83% from its record high, which was reached in June of last year.

Celsius Pays Back and Rises
Repayment itself was another encouraging development that may have had a beneficial impact on the pricing.
Today’s discovery of a $10 million stablecoin DAI transfer from Celsius to the DeFi website Compound on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain serves as a reminder that Celsius is still fighting for survival.
The payment is the most recent in a string of ones that Celsius has made over the previous week. The business made a number of payments totalling DAI 53.74 million to its vault on the DeFi protocol Oasis on Tuesday and Thursday of last week.
In order to create returns for its clients, who were guaranteed to be paid a predetermined interest on their deposits, Celsius was well known for deploying a number of DeFi protocols.
