A North Korean attack on WazirX last year wiped out nearly 45% of user assets from a Safe Multisig wallet, forcing the platform to halt withdrawals and file a restructuring plan to partly return assets.
Earlier this month, 93.1% of creditors — holding 94.6% of the $196 million in approved claims — backed the restructuring plan in a vote. The plan involves issuing tradable Recovery Tokens with periodic buybacks and launching a decentralized exchange.
WazirX's WRX tokens are little-changed in the past 24 hours.
