Celsius Network, a crypto lending firm facing bankruptcy, has reportedly<\/span> taken out 428,000 staked Ethereum (stETH)<\/a> worth $780 million. Interestingly, this aligns with the introduction of a withdrawal option by Lido Finance, a liquid staking solution for ETH 2.0.<\/p>\n The purpose behind these withdrawals could be an effort to convert assets into cash to reimburse customers or creditors amidst the ongoing bankruptcy process. Although Celsius Network has not transferred all of its sETH holdings, it did withdraw 0.1 stETH from Lido shortly after enabling the withdrawal feature.<\/p>\n This action could possibly indicate the firm’s testing of the withdrawal process or its exploration of the platform’s functionality. In the meantime, the upgrade to version 2 of Lido permits stETH holders to withdraw their Ethereum at a 1:1 ratio.<\/p>\n celsius just moved their 428,000 stETH 10mins before lido withdrawals go live 🤔 pic.twitter.com\/5EdfiK16Tr<\/a><\/p>\n — alto | dollar.eth (@etheraltog) May 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nCelsius Withdraws Staked ETH Following Lido’s V2 Upgrade<\/b><\/h2>\n
