A Further Delay on Cards?

The latest update from WazirX has injected cautious optimism into its user base. The restructuring plan, which aims to compensate users affected by the July 2024 hack, is now under court review. According to WazirX, a strong 93.4% of users supported the proposal, which outlines a potential distribution of up to 85% of users’ stolen funds. If approved, the company says distributions could begin within 10 business days.

The Hack That Shook India’s Crypto Scene

In July 2024, WazirX was rocked by one of the largest hacks in Indian crypto history. Around ₹2,000 crore worth of assets (approximately $230 million) vanished overnight, with many pointing fingers at the North Korea-linked Lazarus Group. To contain damage, the exchange froze nearly 55% of users’ holdings and halted all trading activity. The move shattered user confidence, leaving thousands locked out of their funds.

The Remaining 15% Still in Limbo

While the restructuring plan offers a path forward, concerns remain. The proposal currently covers only 85% of lost assets, with no clear timeline for the remaining 15%. Many users remain frustrated about the platform’s delayed response and the uncertainty that still lingers. Until the next court decision, the wait continues, but for the first time in months, there’s real hope on the horizon.
