Overview

  • WazirX filed its court-approved Scheme of Arrangement with Singapore’s ACRA on October 15, triggering the implementation phase.
  • The exchange targets a restart within 10 business days, with a phased reopening to manage liquidity and operations.
  • Eligible customers who held assets before the July 18, 2024 hack will receive immediate crypto distributions and tradeable Recovery Tokens on a pro‑rata basis.
