Creditors were banking on a promise to have their funds distributed in April 2025. That shifted further and now looks to be in indefinite territory again.

What to know:
- The Singapore High Court has declined to approve WazirX's restructuring plan, delaying creditor repayments.
- WazirX's plan, initially approved in January, included launching a decentralized exchange and issuing recovery tokens.
- If the restructuring fails, WazirX could face liquidation, potentially resulting in lower compensation for creditors.
Embattled Indian crypto exchange WazirX’s restructuring plan has hit a major snag, with the Singapore High Court declining to approve the crypto exchange’s proposed scheme to repay creditors.
The decision effectively delays any payouts that were expected to begin as early as April 2025. “The Honourable Singapore High Court issued an order declining to approve our proposed restructuring plan,” WazirX said in an email to creditors.

“While this outcome was not what we anticipated, we respect the Court’s decision and remain fully committed to complying with all legal and regulatory processes. Our primary focus remains to begin distributions as soon as possible,” it claimed.
The court initially approved WazirX’s plan in January after the exchange sought protection from liquidation in the wake of a devastating $230 million hack by North Korea’s Lazarus Group.
The scheme would have allowed creditors to vote on whether to accept the plan, with payouts promised within 10 business days of activation.
That plan also included launching a decentralized exchange (DEX), issuing recovery tokens, and implementing periodic buybacks to support liquidity.
But with the court’s latest decision, the timeline for creditor repayment has again been thrown into uncertainty. If the restructuring ultimately fails, WazirX could face liquidation under section 301 of the Singapore Companies Act, which might result in fire-sale prices for remaining assets and lower compensation for creditors, as previously reported.
WazirX has faced overwhelming criticism for its slow communication and limited success in asset recovery, and severely limiting the ability for users to interact with its social media accounts.
The exchange once dominated crypto trading in India, but many are now left wondering if they will ever see their money again.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Cosa sapere:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
