WazirX Users Can Now Claim Lost Funds After ACRA Filing

TheCryptoTimes2025-10-16 tarihinde yayınlandı2025-10-16 tarihinde güncellendi

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.

Hoskinson Says Failed Wyoming Clinic Refocused Him On Cardano And Midnight

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, announced the closure of a family-backed medical clinic in Gillette, Wyoming, citing unsustainable financial losses. The clinic, which served approximately 22,000 patients, was losing about $1.7 million per month due to structural issues in the U.S. healthcare system and insufficient local support. Hoskinson framed the shutdown as a strategic refocusing of his time and resources. He stated that his primary daily priorities are now driving adoption for Cardano's privacy-focused sidechain, Midnight, and returning Cardano to the top tier of cryptocurrencies. He emphasized that these are areas where he has direct expertise and agency, unlike the healthcare venture which he described as a costly diversion.

The Truth About Global Payments, Exposed by Airwallex

Airwallex's founder, Jack Zhang, outlines the three primary paths in the global payments industry and explains why the company chooses the most demanding one: building its own global financial infrastructure. The article begins by highlighting a common industry problem: payment platforms appear homogenized on the surface, offering similar features like global acquiring and multi-currency accounts. However, their underlying capabilities differ vastly. Customers truly care about payment stability, compliance robustness, and reliable market entry support. Zhang identifies three strategic paths: 1. **Bypassing Traditional Systems (Web3/Crypto):** This path promises efficiency via stablecoins and blockchain settlement but struggles with mainstream adoption, significant regulatory friction, and a lack of competitive edge against established players, often leaving it with niche or non-compliant markets. 2. **Packaging Existing Infrastructure:** The most common route, where companies layer a modern interface over legacy banking and partner networks. While enabling fast expansion, it fails to solve core issues like dependency on correspondent banks and intermediary risk, merely postponing the need for solid foundations. 3. **Building Own Global Infrastructure:** The path chosen by Airwallex, Ant International, and others. It involves obtaining local licenses, establishing direct regulatory relationships, building local teams, and controlling the full technology stack. This "heavy" approach is slow and capital-intensive but aims to internalize complexity, providing customers with a "lighter" experience. The core argument is that for business clients, the highest cost isn't transaction fees but hidden risks like frozen accounts, payment delays, and regulatory shocks. By investing heavily in its own infrastructure, Airwallex seeks to absorb these complexities, offering customers greater stability, cost savings (beyond fees), and long-term certainty. This foundational investment, though initially slow, enables compound growth, as evidenced by Airwallex's accelerated revenue scaling. In conclusion, while shortcuts enable faster growth, mastering the most difficult aspects—owning the underlying infrastructure—creates durable value for customers and sustainable advantage for the payment provider.

The Truth About Global Payments, Revealed by Airwallex

The article discusses Airwallex's approach to global payments, highlighting the key challenges and different strategic paths in the industry. It begins by addressing common user questions about platform reliability, cryptocurrency payments, and the necessity of Airwallex's "heavy" infrastructure model. The core argument is that while many payment platforms appear similar on the surface—offering features like global acquiring and multi-currency accounts—their underlying capabilities differ drastically. The piece identifies three primary paths for global payment providers: 1. **Bypassing Traditional Infrastructure (Web3/Crypto):** This path promises efficiency through stablecoins and on-chain settlements but faces significant regulatory hurdles and offers little advantage over established players for mainstream use, often serving only niche or non-compliant markets. 2. **Aggregating/Packaging Existing Infrastructure:** The most common route, where companies layer a better user experience over legacy banking and partner networks. While fast to market, this approach does not solve fundamental issues like dependency on intermediaries, correspondent banking risks, and compliance fragility. 3. **Building Proprietary Global Infrastructure:** The path chosen by Airwallex and similar firms. This involves obtaining local licenses, building direct regulatory relationships, establishing local teams, and controlling the compliance and technology stack. This is the most difficult and capital-intensive route but aims to internalize complexity. Airwallex's strategy of "heavy" investment in its own infrastructure is framed not as inefficiency, but as a long-term bet to provide clients with greater stability, cost savings beyond fees, and certainty. The platform's "heaviness" absorbs risk and operational complexity, aiming to deliver a "lighter" experience for business customers. The article concludes that in global payments, while shortcuts enable faster growth, mastering the most difficult aspects—the underlying infrastructure—is what creates durable value for clients and sustainable competitive advantage.

Introducing: Global Metrics Suite

Glassnode introduces the Global Metrics Suite, a new framework for analyzing the fragmented cryptocurrency market through aggregated on-chain and market data. It solves the challenge of structural discontinuities in traditional aggregate series by using formally rebalanced baskets (e.g., by market cap) and provides two output types: Raw Aggregates (preserving original units) and Indices (scaled, continuous series for trend comparison). The article demonstrates the value of continuity-adjusted indices through three examples. First, they reveal a significant 2024 surge in small-cap market cap, a rally invisible in raw data where "winners" leave the basket upon crossing a threshold. Second, a global Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) index shows that small-cap sentiment is more stable than raw data suggests, while larger caps exhibit a trend of decreasing profit realization per cycle. Third, an Open Interest index highlights the higher volatility and leverage spikes in mid- and small-cap derivatives, useful for monitoring cascade risks. Four metrics are currently available via API: Total Market Cap, Realized Cap, Median SOPR, and Total Open Interest, each for "All Coins," Large, Mid, and Small Cap baskets. The framework, using weekly rebalancing and equal weighting, brings the continuity discipline of traditional finance indices to multi-asset crypto analytics.
