WazirX Users Can Now Claim Lost Funds After ACRA Filing

TheCryptoTimesОпубликовано 2025-10-16Обновлено 2025-10-16

After more than a year of waiting and uncertainty, WazirX users finally have a clear update. On October 15, 2025, Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) received the court-approved Scheme of Arrangement, making the restructuring plan official. 

This now lets WazirX start sending funds and issuing Recovery Tokens to users affected by the July 18, 2024 hack.

Court approval paves the way

The ACRA filing comes after the Singapore High Court approved the scheme on October 13. While the court had already cleared the legal hurdles, the ACRA filing is crucial because it allows WazirX to move from planning to action. 

WazirX CEO Nischal Shetty confirmed that the team is working to restart the platform within 10 business days from the scheme’s effective date, possibly even sooner. The exact date will be announced once preparations are complete.

The scheme, first drawn up on July 23, 2025, was slightly modified before the court approved it. The key change ensures that WazirX officers are protected from claims related to preparing or implementing the plan, except in cases of fraud, wilful misconduct, recklessness, or gross negligence. It gives the company legal clarity while keeping accountability for serious matters intact.

What users stand to recover

For WazirX’s 16 million users, mostly in India, the plan allows recovery of up to 55% of the $235 million lost in the hack. Singapore-based Zettai Pte Ltd will oversee the distribution process, with payouts expected in USDT within 10 business days of the scheme taking effect.

It’s a big step for users who have been waiting over a year with no clear way to get their money back. Now with the ACRA filing, things have finally started moving. Users can actually hope to see some progress on their claims.

Market response and what’s next

After the news, WazirX’s token WRX went up by almost 6%, priced at $0.07248. With current market cap at $27.67 million and 24-hour trading volume valuing at $60.11k, down by 11%, as per CoinMarketCap.

It shows that confidence is slowly coming back to the market. For users, this isn’t just about the price—it’s the first real sign that recovery is actually happening.

CEO Nischal Shetty said the platform should restart within 10 business days, maybe even sooner. The ACRA filing on October 15 is a turning point. After months of uncertainty, users finally have a way to get back part of their lost funds, and the exchange is moving closer to restarting operations and regaining trust.

Bitcoin Sentiment Back To Extreme Fear As Price Slips Under $76,000

The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has fallen back into "extreme fear" territory with a value of 25, following a recent price retracement. Bitcoin's price has slipped below $75,500 after briefly recovering above $77,000. Historically, such extreme fear levels have been associated with potential market bottoms, though the indicator can remain in this zone for extended periods before a reversal. Concurrently, social media sentiment analysis shows bearish commentary currently outweighing bullish sentiment, reflecting broader market pessimism.

A 10,000-Word Interpretation of the "Optical Interconnect" Industry Chain: The AI Infrastructure Bottleneck Obscured by GPU Glare

**Summary: The Rise of Optical Interconnect in AI Infrastructure** This analysis explores the critical, yet often overlooked, role of optical interconnects in large-scale AI data centers. While GPUs provide raw computational power, the efficiency of AI clusters depends heavily on high-speed data transfer between thousands of cooperating GPUs during both training and inference tasks. Copper-based electrical connections are hitting physical limits in bandwidth, distance, and power consumption. Fiber optics, using light signals, offer a superior solution with exponentially higher bandwidth and lower energy use over longer distances. This shift is driving rapid growth in the optical interconnect market. The core translation device is the pluggable optical transceiver (or module), which converts electrical signals from GPUs into optical signals for fiber transmission and vice versa. Its manufacturing involves two distinct semiconductor domains: indium phosphide (InP) for optical chips (lasers, modulators, detectors) and silicon for digital signal processing (DSP) chips. A transformative next-generation technology is Co-Packaged Optics (CPO). CPO moves the optical engine (a silicon photonic integrated circuit, or PIC) much closer to the GPU or switch inside the same chip package, drastically reducing power loss and latency. CPO necessitates an external laser source and relies on silicon photonics (using Silicon-on-Insulator/SOI wafers) for integration with silicon chips. The optical interconnect ecosystem is highly fragmented, unlike the concentrated GPU market. Key bottlenecks and players span the entire supply chain: InP substrates (e.g., AXT), epitaxial wafers (e.g., IQE), laser chips (e.g., Sivers, Lumentum, Coherent), silicon photonics foundries (e.g., Tower Semiconductor), SOI wafers (e.g., Soitec), DSP/switch chips (e.g., Broadcom, Marvell), and underlying fiber (e.g., Corning). The article posits that AI infrastructure competition is extending from "who has more GPUs" to "who can secure the scarce optical interconnect supply chain." CPO represents the largest potential growth variable, with projections suggesting it could become a market worth tens of billions of dollars by 2028. Investment opportunities vary from conservative (large, diversified players) to aggressive (small, high-beta companies focused on specific bottleneck technologies), but the sector carries significant volatility and execution risks.

TechFlow Intelligence Bureau: Spot Gold Falls Below $4,400, Cryptocurrency Market Plunges Across the Board

The market experienced volatility with spot gold dropping below $4400/oz, while the crypto market saw broad declines. In AI developments, VLLM and other mainstream LLM tools were found to have critical vulnerabilities, risking millions of AI agents. Gemini Omni Flash faced criticism for excessive content filtering, while Ali's Qwen3.6-35B showed significant coding improvement with higher-bit quantization. Nvidia introduced LocateAnything, a visual language model with faster object localization. In crypto, a Google employee was charged for insider trading using search data on Polymarket, where suspicious accounts with near-perfect win rates were also discovered. A Trump-linked crypto company neared bankruptcy after losing $1.5B. Hardware and chip stocks, particularly Korean AI memory makers, drove market gains. Meta's stock rose on news of paid subscriptions for Facebook and Instagram, while Micron delivered massive returns for some investors. Broader trends included DuckDuckGo's traffic surging as users reacted against Google's push for AI search, and Microsoft data suggesting AI tools can be more expensive than human labor. The day's theme highlighted the redefinition of insider information boundaries in the age of AI data advantages and a growing scrutiny of AI's real-world costs and user acceptance.

a16z: RWA Has Passed the Proof of Concept, but the Real Challenges Are Just Beginning

a16z highlights that the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market, excluding stablecoins, has grown tenfold in under two years to roughly $340 billion. This surge is primarily driven by US Treasury bonds and gold, offering investors yield on idle stablecoins and providing institutions with more efficient settlement and collateral flows. However, the core insight is that most tokenized assets today are simply digital certificates for off-chain holdings—used for ownership and transfer but not deeply integrated into DeFi as composable financial building blocks. For instance, only about 5% of tokenized bonds ($8B) are actively used in DeFi protocols. Smaller categories like reinsurance tokens show much higher DeFi utilization (84%), indicating they were designed for on-chain composability from the start. The market remains concentrated, with US Treasuries and commodities comprising two-thirds of the total. Gold dominates the commodities segment. While Ethereum holds over half the market, activity is spreading across multiple chains like BNB Chain and Solana. Predictions for the market's future size vary widely (from $2 trillion to over $30 trillion by 2030/2034), reflecting different definitions of what constitutes tokenization. All agree on significant growth. The current market is minuscule compared to traditional finance (e.g., tokenized bonds are 0.01% of the global bond market). The key takeaway is that the initial "proof-of-concept" phase for moving familiar assets on-chain is proving successful. The next, harder challenge is moving more complex financial instruments onto blockchains and enabling true on-chain composability, where these assets become programmable components within a native digital financial system, rather than just digitized records.

The Wind of 'Proactive' AI Blows into Silicon Valley: Hark Secures $700 Million in Funding

Hark, an AI startup founded in late 2025, has raised $700 million in Series A funding at a $6 billion valuation. Led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures, the company aims to develop next-generation human-computer interfaces using a combination of proprietary foundational models and custom-built AI-native hardware. Founded by serial entrepreneur Brett Adcock, Hark envisions a system of multimodal devices equipped with agentic capabilities, end-to-end voice models, and personalized memory. This "active" AI approach seeks to move beyond passive chatbots, creating collaborative companions that anticipate needs and interact naturally within the real world. Adcock's experience with Figure, a humanoid robotics company, informs this hardware-focused venture. The article argues that while current AI is powerful, it remains confined to screens and traditional interfaces like chat. The next paradigm shift requires dedicated hardware that is always-on, possesses persistent memory, and enables intuitive interaction, potentially rivaling the impact of the iPhone. Hark is assembling a team with talent from Apple, Meta, Google, and Tesla to tackle this complex engineering challenge across models, hardware, and interaction design. Finally, the piece suggests Chinese startups may have an advantage in this "active" AI hardware space due to strong manufacturing ecosystems, a vast domestic market, and supportive government policies, framing the competition as one that requires integrated progress in models, operating systems, and devices.
