Celsius launches crypto-backed loans in California at 0% APR

HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Celsius, the leading global cryptocurrency earning and borrowing platform, announced today the opening of its retail-lending services to customers in California. Earlier this month, Celsius received its Finance Lender license in California, enabling the company to expand its operations in the state and provide Californians with even more industry-leading financial tools.

Currently, borrowers in California can request a Celsius loan issued in USD and stablecoins against 39 cryptocurrencies at 0% APR (25% LTV). With a minimum request amount of just $500, Celsius is now one of the most accessible and affordable lenders in California. Customers in California also have the option to receive educational materials from Celsius through their Credit Education Program offering.

This announcement is part of Celsius's continued effort to allow more people to access fair, transparent, and low-cost financial services. Celsius allows its users to take out loans instantly, without proof of income or credit check, giving them the security of cash-in-hand, without selling their digital assets.

"Our California customers have waited for this day, and we are thrilled to now provide them with the best way to borrow against their crypto assets," said Aliza Landes, Celsius's VP of Lending. "This represents a big milestone for Celsius as we continue to secure licenses and registrations in new jurisdictions and allow millions of new people to borrow better."
