WazirX News: Singapore Clears Plan for Restart, Bringing Respite to Victims of $230M Hack
Singapore High Court approved WazirX’s restructuring plan with 95.7% creditor support, enabling repayment of $234 million hack losses through recovery tokens to over 150,000 users.
- On October 13, 2025, the Singapore High Court approved WazirX's debt restructuring plan, allowing the exchange to restart operations and begin repaying creditors.
- The July 2024 breach forced WazirX, Indian cryptocurrency exchange, to halt withdrawals after losing $234 million in a Safe Multisig wallet attack linked to the Lazarus Group, North Korean hacking group.
- After revising its plan, WazirX secured 95.7% support in the August 2025 re-vote, representing 94.6% by value and about $206.9m in validated claims from more than 149,000 account holders.
- The court's ruling allows users to recover up to 55% of the $235 million lost and enables repayments to over 150,000 affected users via recovery tokens.
- Once the scheme becomes effective, WazirX will restart operations and begin token distributions within 10 business days, but industry experts caution payouts could take two to three months as Zettai Pte Ltd files orders with Singapore's ACRA.
