Celsius Network Update: Offers Yield on Gold-Backed wDGLD Token

 

Celsius Network, a cryptocurrency lending and borrowing platform, announced on Thursday it will add support for CoinShares wDGLD token. According to Celsius, customers will be able to hold wDGLD tokens in their Celsius wallets to earn weekly compounding yield or use their coins as collateral to get cash loans against their crypto.

“CoinShares and Blockchain.com launched the wDGLD token in November 2020 as a solution to bring digital gold onto the Ethereum network and extend its usability within the digital asset ecosystem. wDGLD is pegged 1:1 with DGLD, a gold-backed token built on the Bitcoin blockchain and is currently available in the Blockchain.com wallet, home to over 69 million created wallets.”

Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius, spoke about the support by stating:

“It’s a win-win-win when we’re able to form mutually beneficial partnerships that also generate more value for our customers. At a time when dollars and other inflationary currencies are losing value at an exponential rate, adding wDGLD provides our users with yet another option to diversify their assets in a way that acts in their best interest.”

Founded in 2017, Celsius addresses the financial needs of today’s consumers worldwide through a democratized interest income and lending platform accessible through a mobile app.

“Built on the belief that financial services should only do what is in the best interests of the community, Celsius is a modern platform where membership provides access to curated financial services that are not available through traditional financial institutions.”

Celsius recently announced it now holds more than $5.3 billion worth of cryptocurrency assets.
