Comoinformó anteriormente Cryptopolitan , el proceso de selección del COC comenzó el 3 de octubre. El intercambio dijo en su comunicado oficial que los miembros del COC fueron elegidos al azar. La empresa también reiteró que el proceso de selección es imparcial y representa “equitativamente” los intereses de los acreedores.
¡Se ha formado con éxito el comité de acreedores #WazirX , compuesto por 10 miembros!
¿Alguien de la 🇮🇳 comunidad criptográfica india fue elegido como acreedor?
O simplemente están formando su propio comité 🙄

WazirX said, “COC members represent all the general body of Creditors in their discussions with the Company and its advisors and will play a crucial consultative role in the restructuring of the crypto balances of the WazirX platform.”
However, the CoC has a consultative role in the exchange’s restructuring terms. The first COC meeting is now scheduled for October 15 with the key agenda being setting up a feedback process.
The exchange recently held an online town hall where Zettai said it would not benefit from any gains or losses on the tokens being returned to creditors. WazirX also stated that creditors have the option to choose which tokens they want to be exposed to.
Currently, the WazirX app and website display a notification of withdrawals paused for maintenance when investors try to take out their funds. On the incident, Roshan Dharia, CEO of crypto exchange Paxful, told Cryptopolitan, “Two things are true about cybersecurity incidents in general: they’re tragic for users and businesses alike—and they’re preventable.”
Dharia says that we need to teach people that with the benefits of using crypto and peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions comes the responsibility of protection from common scams.
The WazirX hack that led to the users being unable to withdraw funds came amid crypto growth in Asia. Hong Kong SFC has said that it will hand licenses to more crypto exchanges in 2024. The securities regulator of Thailand has proposed rules to allow crypto investment by mutual and private funds.
Keval Bhanushali, co-founder and CEO of 1Finance, questioned why India isn’t allowing the setup of crypto ETFs at least for foreign investors in its GIFT City. Gujarat International Finance Tec-City, also called GIFT City, is a financial hub for international transactions in the Indian state of Gujarat. Bhanushali suggests that crypto ETFs could provide indirect participation for Indians.
