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.

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.
