Singapore\u2019s High Court has given the green light to a restructuring plan<\/a> for crypto exchange WazirX, clearing a major obstacle in the company\u2019s effort to repay users after last year\u2019s large theft.<\/p>\n

According to reports<\/a>, the court\u2019s approval on October 13 allows the exchange to move ahead with a court-supervised recovery process tied to the $234 million hack that hit the platform in July 2024.<\/p>\n

Creditor Vote And Numbers<\/h2>\n

Based on reports from the company, the revised plan won broad backing from affected account holders. In an August revote, 95.7% of participating scheme creditors voted in favor, and those votes came from 143,190 participating creditors representing about $196 million in approved claims. The strong turnout and result were used by WazirX<\/a> to press its case to the Singapore court.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you to everyone who supported this difficult phase of WazirX. The Singapore High Court has approved the scheme.<\/p>\n

Its your support and love that has made this possible \"\u2764\"<\/p>\n

Now we set out on the next phase to work hard and create value for everyone. We\u2019re here because of YOU\u2026<\/p>\n

The hack itself exploited a Safe Multisig wallet in mid-July 2024 and drained a large pool of user funds. Investigations and media accounts linked the breach to advanced cyber operators, and the theft forced WazirX to freeze both crypto and rupee withdrawals while legal options were explored.<\/p>\n

What Users Will Receive<\/h2>\n

According to several outlets, users may recover a substantial portion of lost funds under the approved plan. Reports have said recoveries could reach up to 55% of the losses, delivered as a mix of immediate liquid payments and so-called Recovery Tokens<\/a> that represent remaining claims to be fulfilled over time.<\/p>\n

WazirX has said the first wave of payouts \u2014 in stablecoin or USDT equivalent \u2014 would follow once the scheme takes effect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That mix means some users will get cash-equivalent payments quickly while others will hold tokens that the company intends to redeem as it regains assets or generates revenue. The plan shifts part of the repayment responsibility to entities inside India to comply with local rules, a change that was highlighted during court rounds.<\/p>\n

The road to approval was not straight. The Singapore court had earlier rejected a first version of the scheme after judges raised questions over the plan\u2019s structure and oversight. That decision forced WazirX and its advisers to rework the proposal and secure a fresh vote from creditors before returning to court.<\/p>\n

Next Steps And Timeline<\/p>\n

If the scheme becomes effective under the court\u2019s timetable, WazirX says distributions of available liquid assets will begin within 10 business days. That window is expected to trigger the initial USDT transfers while RTs are recorded for the remainder of approved claims. The exchange will still need to finish legal formalities and coordinate with payment processors and regulators.<\/p>\n
