  1. WazirX Claims against Binance
  2. Binance's Response to the Claims
  3. The 2000 Crore Hack

    4. Binance has firmly denied recent allegations regarding ownership or involvement with WazirX, stating it never owned, controlled, or was involved in the platform's operations or the August 2024 hack that left millions of users with locked funds.

    WazirX Claims against Binance

    In its application to the Singapore High Court, WazirX, through Zettai Pte Ltd, claimed that Binance was responsible for compensating users for their cryptocurrency losses incurred during the hack. Binance strongly refuted these claims and rejected any liability towards WazirX users following the 2000 crore hack.

    Binance's Response to the Claims

    In its response, Binance refuted WazirX’s claims, highlighting several key points: 1. Ownership and Control: Binance asserts it never acquired or controlled WazirX. The proposed acquisition did not proceed due to Zettai's failure to fulfill its obligations. 2. Liability for User Funds: Binance is not responsible for WazirX's user funds and is not obligated to pay any claims or compensations. 3. WazirX User Agreement: Binance did not agree to or provide any cryptocurrency services referenced in the User Agreement. 4. Custody of User Funds: Binance provided only technological wallet services. 5. Responsibility for Cyberattack Consequences: Binance is not responsible for the hack, and it had requested the removal of user funds from its wallets before the incident. 6. Statements by Mr. Shetty: Binance states that Zettai and Mr. Shetty are spreading misleading information about its role with WazirX.

    The 2000 Crore Hack

    On July 18, 2024, the WazirX hack resulted in a loss of approximately $235 million in user funds. The attack targeted a multisig wallet with five signatories from WazirX and one from third-party custodian Liminal. Following the incident, Zettai applied for a moratorium in Singapore to prevent legal action from creditors.

    Binance firmly rejects all accusations from Zettai and calls for the WazirX team to be held accountable for the hack and compensate the affected users, distancing itself from any liability regarding the incident.
