Once this is approved by US Presiding Judge Martin Glenn, the proceeds from the sale of the stablecoins will serve as funding for the Celsius operation.

Agreement for the appointment of an independent examiner
In September, the US Trustee’s Office reached an agreement with Celsius’ committee consisting of creditors to appoint an independent examiner with the condition that they would restrict both the money and time allotted to the examiner.
In addition, the Office of the Trustee of the United States will be in charge of selecting the examiner. The judge approved it on Wednesday.
In this regard, Celsius recently posted a tweet on 15th September detailing its desire to continue working with the US Trustees and Unsecured Creditors Committee as well as to improve network efficiency to better serve its customers. Their commitment has been emphasized.

CEL price down 13.21% despite increase in metrics
Driven by the recent developments and hearing incidents, the price of CEL is up by 30% as seen in the last 24 hours. In addition, CEL social media metrics have also gained momentum.
Social media engagement also reached 1.2 billion, a significant increase of 32.26%.
Despite the increase in social media engagement as well as the price rally, there are still some troubling issues around CEL that make investors apprehensive about the altcoin.
According to CoinMarketCap, the price of CEL is down 13.21% or traded at $1.70 as of this writing.
The overall market cap of CEL has declined by 36.21% as seen in August. Moreover, the market dominance also fell to 41.25%. Uncertainty remains over the token, and investors are taking extra precautions in making any move due to its high volatility.
The Ethereum merge also has a significant impact on the performance of CEL. In fact, Celsius has posted a tweet saying that they are tracking the merge.
Investors also view the short-squeeze movement as a warning because history shows that this movement can negatively affect an investor’s portfolio.
