WazirX Faces Major Setback Amid Fresh Probe

According to recent developments, the Indian crypto exchange, WazirX, has faced a major setback as the Delhi High Court ordered a fresh probe today. The High Court has rejected the Delhi police’s status report on the WazirX hack case, ordering a fresh investigation. The court’s decision comes after Advocate Jaivir Bains filed a petition demanding a criminal investigation into the hack.

Notably, the Delhi police had initially stated that no case could be made, but Justice Sanjeev Narula has asked for a new status report by February 13, 2025. The court’s move indicates that the Indian exchange has not been given a clean chit, and the exchange’s management may face further scrutiny. This development has sparked discussions in the market.

Meanwhile, the security breach on the exchange was one of the biggest crypto scams this year. The hackers have drained around $230 million funds from the exchange, which has sparked widespread discussions in the broader crypto market.

However, the recent developments signal that the exchange may continue to face hurdles in the coming days. Besides, the latest probe order was lauded by many in the crypto community, while others seeking further clarity on the case.

WRX Crashes 50% After Binance Delisting News

WazirX has faced another major setback, as the leading crypto exchange Binance has announced the delisting of WRX tokens along with two other crypto. Notably, WRX price today crashed 52.65% to $0.1132 following the delisting news and after it touched a 24-hour high of $0.2494. Its one-day trading volume plunged about 19% to $21.87 million.

In the latest Binance announcement, the exchange has revealed its plan to delist the WRX token alongside AKRO and BLZ. The delisting is part of Binance’s thorough review of the assets to continue meeting the “high level of standard and industry requirements”, the exchange added.

So, based on its recent review, the crypto exchange decided to delist Kaon (AKRO), Bluzelle (BLZ), and WRX tokens from its platform. Precisely, the trading of the AKRO/USDT, BLZ/BTC, BLZ/USDT, and WRX/USDT pairs will cease from December 25.
