This is factually incorrect. Celsius' addresses are publicly tagged on Etherscan[1], and everyone can see exactly where they are investing, just like most other 'pools' of the sort. Celsius Network is also SEC registered[2].

Their loan system isn't registered as a security. They even say "Earn accounts have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States, to U.S. persons, for the account or benefit of a U.S. person or in any jurisdiction in which such offer would be prohibited." But not prominently on their home page. They will get to explain to the SEC why they have the US toll-free number "1-866-HODL-NOW" and are on the Apple Play Store for the US. Yes, you can look at their transaction log, but it's doesn't tell you all that much. 7 hours ago, they sent 50,000 ETH to somebody.[1] Some people are "paused" less than others, apparently.
