According to Techub News and reported by CryptoSlate, Celsius Network has appealed the judge's dismissal of its defamation claim against FTX on December 31, 2024. Celsius stated that the false statements made by FTX executives and affiliates harmed its reputation and accelerated its bankruptcy in July 2022. According to court documents, Celsius originally filed a claim for $2 billion; however, FTX rejected this claim. More than a year after the initial claim, in December, Celsius amended its application, reducing the claim amount to $444 million. The amended claim shifted focus to priority transfers, stating that certain payments made before FTX's bankruptcy should be reclaimed. However, the judge dismissed both the original lawsuit and the amended lawsuit on procedural grounds.
