<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="why-hyperwallet">Why Hyperwallet?</h2>
<p>Celsius chose Hyperwallet as a payment method due to concerns that some creditors might face issues with traditional wire transfers, especially if there are mistakes or missing details in the instructions.</p>
<p>As a subsidiary of PayPal, Hyperwallet allows creditors to easily convert funds between cryptocurrency and cash. The platform also provides a self-service portal where creditors can select how they want to receive their payments, based on options available in their country.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This payment option will cover 117 countries, including India, Egypt, El Salvador, and Bahrain. By using Hyperwallet, Celsius hopes to avoid delays and make the repayment process smoother for creditors who have been waiting for nearly two years to get their money back.</p>

<p>In addition to working on its repayment plan, Celsius is also involved in legal cases to recover more funds.&nbsp;</p>
<p>One major case involves a <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/08/11/celsius-sues-tether-for-3-5-billion-in-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$3.5 billion lawsuit against Tether</a>. Celsius claims that Tether engaged in unfair and fraudulent Bitcoin transactions before Celsius collapsed. Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, has denied these claims, calling the allegation “baseless” and stating that the company is ready to defend itself in court.</p>
<p>Celsius has also taken legal action against certain creditors who withdrew large amounts of funds shortly before the platform’s collapse in 2022.</p>
<p>The outcome of these legal cases will determine how much money Celsius can recover and distribute to its creditors.&nbsp;</p>
