Bankrupt crypto lender Celsius was granted an extension on its exclusivity period until Feb. 15, 2023. The court approval would give the troubled crypto lender another couple of months to file for a Chapter 11 restructuring plan.

The approval to extend the exclusivity period came after two court hearings on Dec. 6. Celsius, in an official tweet, said that they requested approval to permit the sale of stablecoin, aimed at providing liquidity for continued operations The Judge has indicated that he will share his decision soon, likely next week.

Celsius hopes to use the extension period to develop a plan for a stand-alone business and said:

“We explore all value-maximizing opportunities available to us for the benefit of our customers and other stakeholders.”

Celsius filed for an extension of the exclusivity period on Nov. 10 with hopes of making substantial progress. Reorganization is a process of implementing a business plan to alter a corporation’s structure or finances because of financial duress under government supervision.
