India’s largest crypto exchange, WazirX, is officially relaunching trading, deposits and withdrawals starting tomorrow, 24 October 2025. The exchange was halted for over a year following a massive hack, which was followed by a restructuring plan. Importantly, the exchange has promised to compensate the hack-affected creditors withing 10 business days of the relaunch.
But, the relaunch is being closely watched.
“Will you still trust this exchange or not?” contemplate investors on X. WazirX’s crypto collapse was India’s most high-profile case, leaving investors in limbo since mid-2024.Though Shetty thanked the WazirX community, investors took to X to express disappointment and grievances over the handling of the collapse.
“Moving fast towards the WazirX restart!” said Co-founder and CEO Nischal Shetty on X. “Trading starts tomorrow, 24th October. 0 Fee trading for a minimum of 30 days. We will try our best to extend even further! We want to be with our tribe and support you in whatever way we can.”
“Our focus is only YOU,” he added.
Thanks!

Shetty’s restructuring plan submitted to Singapore High Court received over 95% creditor approval. The greenlight from Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) has enabled the company’s “restart.”
“This phased rollout will help restore liquidity safely, confirm technical stability, and ensure a gradual and reliable return to normal trading across all market pairs,” said WazirX.
Additionally, WazirX has partnered with BitGo, the US based digital asset custodian, to handle custody of exchange assets through insured, institutional grade wallets that meet international security standards.

WazirX CEO and Co-Founder Nischal Shetty Looks Back At Lessons Learnt
In an exclusive chat with 99Bitcoins.com, Shetty said, “Building WazirX, India’s largest crypto exchange, gave me three lessons that directly shaped Shardeum. First, resilience and transparency are non-negotiable. In crypto, crises emerge unexpectedly, and how you respond quickly, openly, and in the user’s interest defines long-term credibility.”
“Second, scalability must be designed from day one. WazirX’s rapid growth highlighted the importance of designing systems that can handle scale and unexpected stress from day one.”
“Third, you have to build with a local mindset. WazirX thrived because we focused on solving India’s problems first rather than competing globally from day one.”
