U.S. bankruptcy judge rules that customers' deposits are the Celsius Networks assets.

United States bankruptcy judge ruled that the Celsius Network owns most of the cryptocurrency the customers deposited into its online platform.

People continue to flee into self-custody of their digital assets at a record pace to have 100% ownership instead of relying on a 3rd party that owns your crypto.
