HOBOKEN, N.J., March 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Celsius , the leading global cryptocurrency lending and borrowing platform, announced plans to expand its hackathon series after the success of its recent NFT Hackathon event in Serbia.

"Hackathons are one way for Celsius to stay close to crypto's cutting edge," said Celsius co-founder and CTO Nuke Goldstein. "The world is changing fast, and we know that the next great talent or idea can emerge from anywhere."
