Ethereum’s price is up a fair bit since last Monday, while Bitcoin’s has been flat over the past week. The big move has been the Celsius Network token, CEL. The short squeeze has worked. The price is up to over $3. Now if I could just get my hands on the tokens I own that are locked on the Celsius platform due to its bankruptcy proceedings.

My July 1 Breakdown of Interest Earned on My Crypto

My totals for Celsius

Important Note: Celsius is still applying rewards to crypto on the platform. However, no one can access their coins or tokens, so at this point, all Celsius earnings are "vapor."

Fortunately, I removed the small balances of Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDC and put them on Freeway, where they’re now earning 43% APY.

CEL (Celsius token) — 49.1202 tokens in interest, worth $38.71

AVAX (Avalanche) — .036384 tokens in interest, worth $1.55

ZRX (0x) — .221354 tokens in interest, worth $0.20

AAVE (Aave) — .009346 tokens in interest, worth $0.61

My total for Exodus wallet

ATOM (Cosmos) — 3.228786 ATOM, worth $27.47

My totals for Freeway

The value of my BTC and ETH are way, way down. Otherwise, the interest earned stated in USD would be close to 50% higher.

BTC (Bitcoin) — .009134 coins in interest, worth $177.731888

ETH (Ether) — .11561 tokens in interest, worth $123.081776
