We have found that Celsius has sold $243M worth of $ETH over the past 30 days. This selling activity happened despite their initial plan to redistribute those assets in kind, meaning they should not be liquidated for cash. They still have $3.94B in digital assets remaining,

With such a high percentage of tokens being allocated to investors and team members is governance of the protocol really decentralized? I think not... and is detrimental to having a truly open platform. But those who built/invested in this need & should to be rewarded. (5/9)
