Fresh Vote and Revised Plan
According to WazirX, around 150,000 creditors participated in the latest vote, representing more than $206 million of affected funds. The plan retains the recovery token model, which allows users to receive tokens representing unrecovered balances. These tokens will be repurchased gradually using profits and recovered assets, with holders eligible for periodic payouts.
Operational Shift and New Entity Involvement
One major adjustment is the management of repayments. Instead of being handled by WazirX’s Singapore-based parent company Zettai, the responsibility will now fall under Zanmai India, an entity regulated by India’s Financial Intelligence Unit. Additionally, the exchange created Zensui Corporation in Panama to oversee services previously run out of Singapore.
Timeline and User Concerns
WazirX founder Nischal Shetty stated that if the Singapore High Court approves the plan, operations could restart and user compensation could begin within 10 days. This is significantly faster than the earlier two to three-month timeline estimated by restructuring advisor George Gwee of Kroll.
However, without creditor support, repayments could be delayed until 2030, leaving liquidation of assets as the only fallback option. Many users remain skeptical of the shifting corporate structures and regulatory obstacles. Some also raised concerns about unaffected holders whose tokens appreciated since the hack, potentially leaving them at a disadvantage under the recovery scheme.
Next Steps
While creditor approval marks progress, the revised restructuring plan still requires review from the Singapore High Court. As of now, WazirX has not issued an updated timeline for when compensation will begin.
