An anonymous Crypto X (formerly Twitter) account representing WazirX customers has pointed out that WazirX CEO Nischal Shetty mentioned Binance as the owner of WazirX platform multiple times during a recent town hall discussion.
The X account insists that Binance should clarify whether it owns WazirX and, if so, should address the situation by ensuring customer fund safety and restructuring the platform.

WazirX fund withdrawal second phase
On September 3, 2024, the WazirX team unlocked the second phase, allowing customers to withdraw INR funds.

Binance vs. WazirX Conflict
In 2019, Binance announced the acquisition of the WazirX crypto exchange. However, two years later, Binance’s former CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), stated that the transaction was never completed because the WazirX team did not transfer complete control of the platform to Binance.
CZ clarified that Binance only provides wallet services to WazirX, while all other controls remain under the WazirX team’s domain.
