93% of Wazirx creditors Greenlight Post-Hack Recovery Plan

After he was almost brought to his knees by a $ 235 million hack, Wazirx has just made a vital shot on survival.

More than 93% of the creditors voted for the restructuring plan of the Indian Crypto exchange -the removal of an important obstacle in attempts to recover from the devastating exploit, attributed to North Korean hackers.

The plan, now on the way to judicial sanction in Singapore, promises partial repayments, new protections and a phased return to operations.

In a statement shared with Decrypt On April 7, Zettai Pte. Ltd., the holding company located in Singapore behind Wazirx, revealed that 131,659 voted creditors to support the proposed regulation scheme.

That accounts for 93.1% per workforce and 94.6% due to claim value for the 141,476 eligible voters.

“We are grateful for the strong voice of trust,” said Wazirx founder Niseal Shetty. “This consistent support throughout our base shows shared belief in our restructuring approach and recovery plan.”

With assets frozen and trust broken since the attack in July, Zettai warned at the beginning of 2025 that the recordings could be postponed without approval from the creditor until 2030.

The newly approved plan bypasses that Cliff, as users, will now receive between 75% to 80% of their claims in USDTWhile the rest is covered by “restoring tokens” linked to the win of Wazirx and the launch of a new decentralized exchange (Dex).

To guarantee complete transparency, the voting results were verified by Joshua Taylor and Henry A. Chambers, who manage directors at the global consultancy firm Alvarez & Marsal, who served as independent assessors.

The formal voting report will be shared with all creditors, in addition to anonymous results, according to the business declaration.

The Wazirx -Hack of $ 235 million

The mood entails a certain degree of resolution in a crisis that started in July 2024, when Hackers, later linked to the Lazarus group in North Korea, endangered the multi-drawing portfolios of Wazirx and with assets that spread more than 200 tokens.

The stolen crypto included Ethereum (Eth), Shiba Inu (Shib), and Polygon (Pol, at the time Matic), some of which were traced by previously sanctioned mint mixer Tornado-Contant Money as part of a money laundering principle with 15,000 ETH.

De Hack led to a temporary stopping of the withdrawals and a criminal investigation by the IFSO division of Delhi, who arrested a man in West Bengal in November for opening a fraudulent Wazirx account that made unauthorized access possible.

In February Sumit Gupta, Coindcx CEO tweeted The lack of transparency of Wazirx around the infringement may have threatened others.

“If Wazirx and Phemex had openly announced their data on the fracture fracture openly and transparent, as Bybit did, the safe {wallet} Infra vulnerability could have been caught,” Gupta wrote and added that “the best way to protect the ecosystem.”

Since then, Wazirx has moved his crypto guardianship to Bitgo and Zodo, has introduced insurance coverage and reserved $ 12 million for legal costs and recovery.
