WazirX Creditors Face Tough Choice in Upcoming Restructuring Vote
The post WazirX Creditors Face Tough Choice in Upcoming Restructuring Vote appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Creditors of WazirX are set to make the call on the fate of the exchange’s restructuring plan—specifically, whether to approve a proposal that could see as much as 2 billion U.S. dollars in stolen crypto assets returned to investors by April 2025.

That could take several years, with a payoff stretching from now (2023) to as late as 2030. Both choices involve considerable unpredictability, and many users sense that they are caught in a situation where they inevitably lose in the end, no matter what the result is.
