Celsius network paid $10 million worth of DAI to Compound Finance
Celsius Network, one of the largest crypto lenders, made a significant payment to Compound, transferring $10 million in stablecoin DAI on June 21. The payment was made to the interest-yielding service Compound in an attempt to regain liquidity.
On May 6, the Celsius Network witnessed $397 million in inflows and $1 billion in outflows, and the firm remained unable to afford withdrawals. All withdrawals, transfers and swaps were then paused, on June 13, 2022, to enable the network to work on rebuilding its finances and tackle the crisis at hand.
Based on data from the Etherscan block explorer, the Celsius network has made a number of other repayments over the past week. In a series of transactions, Celsius paid $53.6 million DAI to Oasis Protocol; a privacy-enabled blockchain platform.

Withdrawals, swaps and transfers remain disabled on Celsius
Despite Celsius Network’s efforts, however, the lender has still paused all withdrawals, swaps and transfers. In a recent blog post, the network informed the community that the project’s objective is to stabilize liquidity and operations, and this process could take time.
Celsius Network’s priority is to maintain an open dialogue with regulators and officials and find a resolution for the liquidity crisis. The plan of action is to pause Twitter Spaces and AMAs to focus on navigating the challenges facing the Celsius Network.
The blog reads:
We are pausing our Twitter Spaces and AMAs to focus on navigating these unprecedented challenges and seeking to fulfill our responsibilities to our community. Acting in the interest of our community remains our priority and we will continue to work around the clock.
