Celsius Network, a community-based P2P startup for the use of crypto assets as collateral, working in conjunction Lightyear.io, a software company that commercializes projects in the Stellar ecosystem announced it will be a lending and borrowing partner for ICOs rolling out on the Stellar blockchain.
Soon, Celsius will add Stellar Lumens (XLM) and other Stellar-based tokens to the Celsius wallet on their Android and Apple apps. Also, later this year, Celsius plans to offer its users the ability to earn interest on their deposits of Stellar-based tokens.
Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius Network, said, “Stellar Development Foundation’s goals and our own are perfectly aligned. We’re both looking to bring in a new era of blockchain banking to both the developed and developing world and we’re excited to empower the next wave of crypto startups.”
“We’re excited to work with Celsius to help the growing number of projects on Stellar to get access to the cash they need to run their businesses without having to sell off the crypto they worked so hard to raise,” said Boris Reznikov, director of partnerships at Lightyear.io.
