The approval follows a re-vote in August 2025 in which 95.70 per cent of voting creditors, representing 94.60 per cent by value, backed the revised restructuring scheme. The sanction represents a significant role in WazirX’s recovery, coming after the platform lost nearly 45 per cent of its crypto assets valued at $234 million, in a cyberattack in July 2024.

Once the restructuring scheme becomes effective, the WazirX platform is expected to restart within 10 business days, Token distributions to creditors will also begin under the scheme.

This was the second round of voting for WazirX’s restructuring scheme. Following the significant crypto attack, WazirX's parent company, Zettai, offered a restructuring plan, which the Singapore High Court first rejected in June 2025. Later, the court reversed its June ruling, enabling Zettai to have a vote on the revised plan.

The revote took place from July 30 to August 6, 2025, with 149,559 scheme creditors participating, which holds approved claims worth approximately $206.90 million. Among these, 143,190 creditors, or 95.70 per cent by number and 94.60 per cent by claim value, voted in favour of the modified plan, indicating that the participants strongly supported it.
