• Indian exchange WazirX took shots at certain unnamed entities, accusing them of making it harder for the exchange to start its restructuring process.
  • The process will allow the exchange to refund users appropriately while securing their assets simultaneously.

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience delving into the complex world of cryptocurrencies and digital exchanges, I must say that the current situation surrounding WazirX is both intriguing and concerning. The hack in July, followed by the delay in the restructuring process due to unnamed external parties, has left me puzzled.


Due to ongoing issues caused by the hack that occurred in July, which has blocked WazirX users from withdrawing their cryptocurrency, the exchange unveiled a restructuring plan on August 23. They also mentioned that starting from August 26, users could gradually withdraw their Indian Rupee (INR) deposits, but with a 60% reduction in withdrawal fees.

Regrettably, it was revealed today by the platform that its ongoing restructuring plan has been postponed due to unidentified outside forces. It seems these parties are intent on prolonging the issue not for the platform’s benefit, but perhaps to serve their own interests, creating uncertainty rather than working towards a resolution.

Last week’s announcement stated, “We plan to implement a Singapore-based Arrangement Scheme for the distribution of cryptocurrency assets.

The Arrangement Scheme is essential to reflect users’ preferences appropriately.”

The repeated statement clarifies that the restructuring plan does not mean they are going through “bankruptcy proceedings” or “liquidation.” They plan to provide more details about this process to their community in the near future.

Scammers Emerge to Part WazirX From More of Their Funds

Just as phishing scams multiply following a data breach in traditional online platforms, so too do fraudulent accounts emerge on social media when a crypto exchange like WazirX experiences a hack. With withdrawals still halted on the platform after the incident, these unscrupulous individuals pose as helpful entities but are actually aiming to swindle users of their funds. WazirX has advised users to exercise caution, stating “Be wary of individuals who may try to steer you towards certain options for their own benefit.”
