Just-In: WazirX Receives Singapore Court Approval To Repay $235M Hack Victims

In an unprecedented development, the fallen Indian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX has recently secured vital approval from a Singapore Court, sparking discussions among its users globally. Notably, the Indian crypto exchange has been allowed to roll out a recovery scheme for the platform’s users, repaying any funds that were not stolen in the major $235 million hack last year. As a result, not all users are rejoicing as the recovery of the stolen funds still remains shrouded in an enigma. WazirX Secures Singapore Court Approval To Repay Unstolen Funds According to a recent Monify report on January 23, the Indian crypto exchange has secured approval from a Singapore court to repay customers any funds not stolen in a major $235 million hack last year, a person familiar with the matter stated. This effort comes in the aftermath of one of the largest crypto heists reported in 2024. Notably, following the July 2024 WazirX hack, all assets on the platform were frozen as users panicked and rushed to withdraw funds. Further, with its parent company Zettai being based in Singapore, the crypto exchange awaited the court’s approval to return these unstolen frozen funds back to users. Subsequently, the recent approval by a Singapore court, allowing the platform to return unstolen funds, underscores a landmark achievement for some users. But There’s A Catch However, it’s worth mentioning that customers won’t receive their funds immediately. The platform’s colossal user base that was impacted by the hack must partake in a voting session to achieve this feat. The voting is set to be conducted within three months of the court’s approval. Moreover, some users continue to be on their toes, given that the recovery of the ‘stolen funds’ still remains a matter of discussion. In the interim, CoinGape reported that WazirX froze $3 million worth of the stolen assets recently in an effort to recover lost funds.
