What does it mean

Celsius started in 2017 and now seems to maintain a somewhat aggressive strategy to increase its position in the market, accumulating more than $5B of encrypted assets.

In addition, the platform may also look for more business partners to promote growth. Last month, the platform cooperated with the global mobile-first encryption platform B21 Crypto. This enables B21 to launch a new “earning” feature that allows users in the company’s 82 different countries to access the weekly revenue service provided by Celsius to its consumers.The company has also further invested in similar partnerships that have already been established, including Cryptocurrency Exchange Liquid. Liquid is the first exchange to support Celsius native CEL tokens in 2019.
