 Celsius Network, which filed for bankruptcy in 2022, is selling its crypto holdings as the broader market recovers, partly due to Ripple’s&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/xrp-ruling-triggers-crypto-rally-sec-accepts-bitcoin-etfs-binances-woes-mount-weekly-recap/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">win</a>&nbsp;against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 
 Data provided by Lookonchain shows that Celsius has already sold roughly $23.5 million worth of cryptocurrencies — including $8.5 million of chainlink (LINK), $7.84 million of synthetix (SNX), $3 million of BNB, $2.26 million from 1inch (1INCH), and $1.9 million worth of ox protocol (ZRX).&nbsp;

 Moreover, screenshots shared by the data provider also suggest that Celsius has deposited almost 439,000 FTT, worth $713,000, to FalconX. In addition, the platform also transferred 186,149 BONE tokens, worth $235,000, to OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange.

 As of July 6, Celsius held $164.46 million worth of assets, most denominated in CEL, the platform’s native token. 
 The sell-off comes after former Celsius CEO, Alex Mashinsky, is set to be&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/former-celsius-ceo-mashinsky-to-be-released-on-40m-bail/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">released</a>&nbsp;on a $40 million bail. Mashinsky was arrested on July 13 and has already posted bail, which a US district court judge granted. 
 Moreover, Celsius is one of many insolvent cryptocurrency firms that has encountered intense scrutiny lately. On July 10, Voyager Digital’s lenders&nbsp;<a href="https://crypto.news/voyager-creditors-withdrawals-surpass-250m-in-18-days/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">withdrew</a>&nbsp;over $250 million of cryptocurrencies in 18 days.
