<p>The Celsius Network filed for bankruptcy during the summer of 2022. Report at the time indicated that the downfall was, in large part, caused by a series of <a href="https://tokenist.com/reckless-trades-by-celsius-ceo-revealed-before-court-hearing/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">reckless trades made by its CEO</a>, as well as several long-standing issues with its business model.</p> 
<p>This year, Celsius unveiled its plan to allow certain users to withdraw up to 90% of their assets. Around the same time, a new bankruptcy plan that would enable most <a href="https://tokenist.com/celsius-creditors-may-get-70-of-their-funds-back-per-new-sales-plan/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">creditors to claw back approximately 70%</a> of their funds was also unveiled.</p>

The year also featured several long-winded and complicated bankruptcies the latest of which seemingly concluded only yesterday as a bankruptcy judge <a href="https://tokenist.com/voyagers-bankruptcy-saga-comes-to-a-close-as-court-approves-liquidation/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">approved Voyager’s liquidation plan</a>.</p>
