WazirX, an Indian cryptocurrency exchange, has relocated to Panama following the Singapore High Court's rejection of its restructuring plan. The court dismissed the proposal submitted by Zettai Pte Ltd in November 2024, which aimed to repay creditors after WazirX suffered a $235 million cyber theft in July 2024.
