WazirX crypto exchange's restructuring proposal struck down by Singapore High Court
Cryptocurrency exchange WazirX, which suffered a more than $230 million loss lost year after a multi-signature wallet was hacked, saw its proposed restructuring plan shot down by the Singapore High Court.
The proposed plan, which WazirX said that 93.1% of voting creditors representing 94.6% in value had voted in favour of, was meant to facilitate token distributions to users who have not been allowed to access their crypto for close to a year now.
'The Honourable Singapore High Court issued an order declining to approve our proposed restructuring plan. 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,' posted WazirX on platform X on June 4.
The latest development means that WazirX will have to explore alternatives as customers grow desperate to access their locked-up crypto.
'Our primary focus remains to begin distributions as soon as possible. Towards this goal, we are currently evaluating all available legal options in consultation with our legal and advisory teams, and will be appealing against the decision of the Singapore High Court. Today's decision does not impact the NLPA assets, which remain safe,' said the crypto exchange.
NLPA stands for Net Liquid Platform Assets.
WazirX previously promised that after the rebalancing process, first distributions would be 'processed within 10 business days of the Scheme should it become effective.'
In addition to this news, several crypto outlets reported that WazirX was shifting its base to Panama and incorporating a subsidiary called the Zensui Corporation. The company has made no official announcement about the news yet.
The Hindu reached out to WazirX for clarification, but the company was not ready with a statement.

How to save tax on your Bitcoin investments in India, legally!
Indian investors have enjoyed massive gains in Bitcoin, up by over 123% in the past year and currently trading at near ₹1 crore, yet they're burdened by a harsh tax regime. A 30% flat tax, 1% TDS on each trade, and a blanket disallowance of loss set-off have made direct crypto investing punitive and inefficient. ADVERTISEMENT Despite this, there is always a way through the tedious tax regime: there is a smarter, tax-efficient and legal way to invest in Bitcoin. Under current Indian tax rules, profits from Bitcoin trading are taxed at a flat 30% rate, plus a surcharge and a 4% cess. Every trade is subject to 1% TDS, irrespective of profit or loss. Worse still, losses can't be set off against any income, not even other crypto gains, and cannot be carried forward to future tax years. How is one even supposed to make a profit under this regime? This makes us feel like it's less of a tax law and more like a daylight robbery. This means even a prudent, long-term investor is treated like a high-frequency gambler. No tax efficiency, no loss planning, and no differentiation between long-term holding and speculative legal and strategic alternative? Bitcoin ETFs. These are listed exchange-traded funds that track Bitcoin's price but are treated differently under Indian tax law. ADVERTISEMENT Unlike direct investments in Bitcoin, which are classified as Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs), Bitcoin ETFs, structured as units of foreign mutual funds, enjoy a favourable classification. If held for over 24 months, gains are taxed as long-term capital gains at just 12.5%, far more investor-friendly than the 30% on VDAs. If sold earlier, short-term gains are taxed at your regular income huge advantage: no 1% TDS. Bitcoin ETF transactions don't suffer from liquidity erosion like direct crypto trades do. Plus, losses from ETF investments can be set off against other capital gains and can also be carried forward to future years, something completely disallowed in direct Bitcoin investing under the current VDA regime as of now. For HNIs and serious investors, this structure can mean up to 60% in tax savings while keeping investments regulated and protected. ADVERTISEMENT While some platforms offer INR-settled Bitcoin futures, these instruments often operate in regulatory grey zones. They fall outside India's VDA definition but remain unregulated by SEBI, with no investor protection or redressal. ADVERTISEMENT Secondly, the collapse of exchanges like Vauld and the ongoing restructuring of WazirX, both Indian exchanges now in Singapore courts, highlight the dangers of trusting unregulated platforms. WazirX's alleged claim that ₹5,000 crore of investor funds are actually company-owned while shielding itself under Singapore law shows how Indian investors are left with no local these platforms pose full counterparty risk. Unlike NSE/BSE derivatives offerings, which have clearing corporations and capital adequacy rules, crypto futures platforms rely entirely on internal solvency, thereby remaining unchecked, unaudited, and the supposed tax advantage is unreliable. Frequent crypto futures trading can attract business income classification, leading to the applicability of a significant compliance burden. ADVERTISEMENT In short, Bitcoin futures may offer a loophole, but they come at the cost of investor safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term viability. Bitcoin ETFs are unquestionably the better option for traders to invest in, while Bitcoin still carries remaining Indian investors looking to grow their wealth in a compliant, tax-efficient, and secure manner, Bitcoin ETFs offer the ideal solution. They combine the upside of digital assets with the structure and investor protections of traditional finance. Compared to direct crypto trading, Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to save up to 60% in taxes, avoid the 1% TDS, and claim loss set-off and carry-forward, benefits denied under the current VDA tax are platforms through which, Indian investors can now access US-listed Bitcoin ETFs via regulated brokers and GIFT City-compliant structures. In an environment of tightening regulations and ongoing failures of unregulated platforms, ETFs are not just a safer route; they're the only logical path forward.(The article is written by Srinivas L., CEO of 9Point Capital.)
