WazirX Faces Prolonged Fallout from $230M Hack as Stolen Funds Continue to Move

Two months after a major security breach, WazirX struggles with fund recovery amid blame-shifting and legal challenges.

  • Hackers have moved $33 million of the stolen funds through Tornado Cash, complicating recovery efforts.
  • WazirX and its custody provider Liminal accuse each other of responsibility for the breach, with no clear resolution in sight.
  • Binance has denied claims of ownership or control over WazirX, further muddying the waters of accountability.
  • Only 441 out of two million monthly users supported WazirX's moratorium application for a 30-day extension on its internal investigation.
  • Legal actions are mounting, including a notable lawsuit from rival exchange CoinSwitch seeking to recover $6.2 million.
