WazirX obtained a crucial extension from the Singapore court to restart the restructuring plan after Hacker attacks
PANews reported on June 25 that according to CryptoSlate, the Singapore High Court approved the extension of WazirX's legal protection period to obtain a final restructuring opportunity for the Indian exchange, which was mired in the $234 million Hacker incident. The court allowed it to present new arguments in favor of the revised reorganization plan and to stay the creditors' action until the final decision. The exchange had previously planned to transfer its core business to Zensui Corporation, a new entity in Panama, with the intention of issuing "recovery tokens" linked to the outstanding balance, promising users to eventually recover 75%-80% of lost assets. Although 93% of creditors voted in favor in April, the court last month did not approve the plan, citing a lack of transparency.
If the restructuring fails, forced liquidation may lead to user payment delays until 2030. Currently, 400,000 user accounts on the platform have been frozen for nearly a year, and the next round of hearing dates has not yet been announced.
