The other part is that individual customers are allowed to borrow funds from Celsius in the form of either six of twelve-month loans with no pre-payment penalties, and rates starting at 4.95% APR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>According to the Thursday announcement<\/strong>, Dash qualified for a listing after a thorough review process and it met all of Celsius\u2019 considerations to be listed.
