Who do Crypto Deposits Belong to?

What is happening? A bankruptcy judge in New York ruled that crypto deposits with Celsius Network do not belong to the person making the deposit. Seems rather weird, but then you learn that the Celsius agreement for users contained that language. ” you grant Celsius . . . all right and title to such Eligible Digital Assets, including ownership rights, and the right, without further notice to you, to hold such Digital Assets in Celsius’ own Virtual Wallet “

Why is this important? Hello regulation writers add this to your list.
