tokentus investment AG invests another USD 1 million in crypto pioneer Celsius Network

- Celsius has successfully completed as far as we know one of the largest-volume capital raises in crypto history with its Series B round, which has been increased to USD 750 million

- tokentus now also participates in the Series B investor round of Celsius with USD 1 million after an initial investment in 2020

- Celsius is, in its own estimation, a leading cryptocurrency platform offering a suite of products to over 1.5 million customers

Frankfurt am Main, 5 April 2022 - Frankfurt-based tokentus investment AG ("tokentus", ISIN: DE000A3CN9R8; WKN: A3CN9R; symbol: 14D) is investing another USD 1 million in the US-based Celsius Network ("Celsius"). Founded in 2017, Celsius says it is a leading global provider of financial services for cryptocurrencies, enabling, lending and borrowing services in the digital assets space. This comes off the back of tokentus initial investment in Celsius of USD 350,000 in December 2020. The current financing round of Celsius was originally USD 400 million and was increased to USD 750 million due to being oversubscribed, which should, as far as is known, make it one of the largest financing rounds in the crypto industry to date. Celsius intends to use the funds raised to drive its expansion into new markets and product offerings, including building the recently announced "CelsiusX" bridge project between centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Celsius offers a suite of products on its platform to its users which include retail, corporate and institutional customers. Both retail and institutional customers can generate rewards on cryptocurrencies, paid out weekly, by transferring their coins to Celsius. In addition, retail borrowers can take out fiat and stablecoin loans backed by cryptocurrencies. Celsius also offers Swap, a no-fee simple way to move between crypto assets, and CelPay, an online peer-to-peer payment system for cryptocurrencies which allows easy crypto transfer between Celsius users.

"We are very pleased to be able to further expand our stake in Celsius. With Celsius, we have a real unicorn in our portfolio. Celsius was valued at around USD 3.5 billion in the current financing round. Since our entry in 2020 at a valuation in the low triple-digit millions, this is already a nice multiple in two years. This development shows the potential of our investment approach as a blockchain VC," says Oliver Michel, CEO of tokentus investment AG. "And in our opinion, the Celsius success story has only just begun," adds Benedikt Schulz, the responsible investment manager at tokentus.
