WazirX Users Face Tough Choice: Accept New Plan or Wait Until 2030 For Refund

The post WazirX Users Face Tough Choice: Accept New Plan or Wait Until 2030 For Refund appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News WazirX, India’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has put its users in a difficult position. Almost 6 months after a massive $235 million hack , it is asking users to make a hard choice: agree to a new recovery plan or wait until 2030 to get their funds back. Two Straight Forward Paths for Creditors WazirX’s latest plan has outlined two options for its users The first is to approve a new restructuring plan, which includes launching a decentralized exchange (DEX) and issuing recovery tokens. Two paths, two very different outcomes. Here's a breakdown of what happens if the Scheme is approved versus if it isn't. Understand what to expect in both scenarios as we approach the voting process. pic.twitter.com/ZcXpC8g79Q — WazirX: India Ka Bitcoin Exchange (@WazirXIndia) February 4, 2025 If 75% of creditors vote in favor of the plan, the exchange will restart operations in April 2025, with initial payouts beginning within 10 business days. The r ecovery tokens can be traded, and the platform promises periodic buybacks using profits and new revenue streams. The second option is far less appealing. If the plan is rejected, WazirX will move toward liquidation under Singapore’s Companies Act. This process could result in a fire sale of assets, potentially leaving users with significantly less compensation due to lower asset values and delays. Backlash From the Crypto Community The proposal has sparked a lot of criticism, especially in the Indian crypto community. Many users feel that WazirX is pressuring them into accepting the new plan by threatening a long wait for recovery. They argue that the plan isn’t a real solution but a way for WazirX to benefit from the situation. There are also worries about how the remaining funds are being used. Some users have claimed that money intended to reimburse them has been spent on legal fees, making the situation even more frustrating for those affected. The Aftermath of the Hack Wazirx was hacked in July 2024 by the North Korean group Lazarus. Over $230 million in user funds were stolen, with the hackers using Tornado Cash to obscure transactions. The exchange, which lost over 40% of its assets during the hack, has kept operations suspended in hopes of finding a solution. But rather than simply offering a direct reimbursement, the exchange has tied the recovery process to a new business venture that has many of its users questioning the fairness of the approach.
