Celsius Network Pays Off Maker Loan, Freeing Up $440M of Collateral

On-chain data shows that a wallet linked to Celsius repaid the remaining $41.2 million of the loan in DAI, the Maker protocol’s stablecoin. That prompted the Maker protocol to release 21,962 wrapped bitcoins (WBTC), a bitcoin equivalent token of the Ethereum blockchain, which was pledged as collateral of the loan. That works out to about $448 million, since WBTC was recently trading at about $20,400.
