Tuesday. February 4 at 4:00 PM
1 min. readIndian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX has cautioned that repayments from the $235 million hack against it may face delays until 2030 if creditors do not approve its proposed restructuring plan. The company presented two scenarios for creditors affected by the hack, stating that if the plan is accepted, the process could start in April 2025, with the relaunch of the platform and initial repayments. However, rejection could lead to a five-year wait for creditors to retrieve their assets. WazirX emphasized the importance of approving the restructuring scheme to avoid unclear and prolonged timelines. The exchange highlighted the potential impact of liquidation on asset repayment, warning of lower value due to liquidation costs. The High Court of Singapore has endorsed the restructuring plan, aiming for quick distributions to benefit users. WazirX plans to introduce recovery tokens for users to recover up to 80% of their balances.
