On February 28, the troubled cryptocurrency financier Celsius changed 22,962.8 WBTC to bitcoin.

The deal was authorized by the Celsius creditor committee, according to a March 3 statement in the lender’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy procedures.

There was no explanation provided for why the transaction happened. Wrapped bitcoin, or WBTC, is an Ethereum blockchain-compatible ERC-2o currency.
