Singapore Court Rejects WazirX Restructuring Plan and Exchange Shifts Crypto Operations to Panama

By appealing the court’s decision, WazirX plans to transfer its platform to its Panama subsidiary to operate under less restrictive regulations.

Overview

  • On June 4, the Singapore High Court declined to approve WazirX’s court-supervised restructuring plan following a $234.9 million hack in July 2024.
  • WazirX announced it will appeal the court’s decision in hopes of securing creditor-backed recovery measures.
  • In March, Zettai Pte Ltd established Zensui Corporation in Panama to house the platform’s cryptocurrency services in response to Singapore’s incoming FSM Act.
  • The transfer agreement with Zensui Corporation is expected to complete migration of crypto operations within two to three business days once executed.
  • Since the breach, WazirX has recovered $3 million, won over 75 percent creditor support and projects users will recoup approximately 55–57 percent of their funds.
