So far, no clear dates have been announced publicly about the platform’s restructuring or revival plan. Although they have launched the INR money withdrawal plan partially, customers are asking about their crypto funds lost in the incident.
On August 26, a Crypto X user asked WazirX CEO Nischal Shetty why he is not selling some stakes in the WazirX platform to raise funds and compensate the customers who lost money in the recent hack incident.
In response, WazirX CEO said that he is not the owner of the WazirX platform because WazirX was sold in 2019, and currently, he can only do what he is doing. Furthermore, he said that he is bound by legal boundaries, so he can’t talk about the actual owners of WazirX, but he indirectly hinted that Binance is the owner of WazirX, stating that all information is available online.
Another Crypto X user asked if Nischal Shetty is not the owner of WazirX, why he is taking all the responsibility for the WazirX platform, and why the actual owners are not stepping forward. In response, Nischal said that he doesn’t want to see benefits for himself on both sides because it will ultimately result in a loss for WazirX customers. He further added that the actual owners are enjoying this moment by sitting in their palaces. Nischal stated that he is committed to truth and honesty, despite being misled by other big players, and in the end, truth will prevail.
In response, some crypto influencers alleged that the WazirX CEO is running a new agenda, claiming he is not the owner of WazirX and doing everything to help customers to gain sympathy from the crypto community.
