CoinDCX 考慮收購 WazirX，CoinSwitch 為受影響用戶啟動 7,000 萬美元的恢復計劃

印度第一家數位貨幣獨角獸 CoinDCX 表示有興趣接管陷入困境的 WazirX 交易所

CoinDCX, India’s first digital currency unicorn, has expressed interest in taking over the ailing WazirX exchange, while CoinSwitch exchange has initiated a $70 million asset recovery program to help WazirX users who lost money due to the cyberattack of July 2024.

印度第一家數位貨幣獨角獸公司CoinDCX 已表示有興趣接管陷入困境的WazirX 交易所，而CoinSwitch 交易所則啟動了一項7000 萬美元的資產回收計劃，以幫助因2024 年7 月的網路攻擊而遭受損失的WazirX 用戶。

WazirX, once India’s largest digital asset exchange by trade volume, suffered a $235 million cyberattack last year and has been struggling to recover ever since. North Korea’s Lazarus Group carried out the WazirX hack. This underscores increasing worries about the security weaknesses of global digital currency platforms.

WazirX 曾經是印度交易量最大的數位資產交易所，去年遭受了價值 2.35 億美元的網路攻擊，此後一直在努力恢復。北韓的 Lazarus Group 實施了 WazirX 駭客攻擊。這凸顯了人們對全球數位貨幣平台安全弱點的日益擔憂。

The takeover offer, as well as the extension of financial help to WazirX users, come at a time when India’s digital asset exchanges are likely looking at consolidation, with smaller exchanges either shutting down operations or merging with larger ones due to the country’s punishing taxation regime.

此次收購要約以及向WazirX 用戶提供財務幫助之際，印度的數位資產交易所可能正在考慮整合，由於該國懲罰性的稅收制度，較小的交易所要么關閉業務，要么與較大的交易所合併。

“We are closely following the developments and keep thinking of various options including taking over WazirX and working towards funds recovery. However, the matter is currently sub judice, limiting our ability to take direct action until there is a clear decision from the Singapore courts,” Sumit Gupta, co-founder of CoinDCX, said in an X post.

「我們正在密切關注事態發展，並不斷考慮各種選擇，包括接管 WazirX 和努力追回資金。然而，此事目前正在審理中，這限制了我們在新加坡法院做出明確決定之前採取直接行動的能力，」CoinDCX 聯合創始人 Sumit Gupta 在 X 帖子中表示。

“That said, should the WazirX team approach us, and subject to court/creditor approvals, we are willing to step in and help. We are even prepared to deploy some capital from our own funds to assist affected users and help them recover their losses as much as possible,” Gupta added.

「也就是說，如果 WazirX 團隊與我們接洽，並且經法院/債權人批准，我們願意介入並提供協助。我們甚至準備從自有資金中調配部分資金來援助受影響的用戶，幫助他們盡可能挽回損失。

In July 2024, CoinDCX, India’s first digital currency unicorn, listed the BSV token for trading on its platform, allowing users to have more ways to buy, sell, and trade BSV. With CoinDCX’s close to 15 million registered users, the listing marks a significant expansion into the Indian market for BSV and demonstrates its potential and possibility in the region.

2024 年 7 月，印度首家數位貨幣獨角獸 CoinDCX 在其平台上上線 BSV 代幣交易，讓用戶有更多方式購買、出售和交易 BSV。 CoinDCX 擁有近 1500 萬名註冊用戶，此次上市標誌著 BSV 向印度市場的重大擴張，並展示了其在該地區的潛力和可能性。

“We’re launching ‘CoinSwitch Cares,’ a Rs 600 crore (about $70 million) recovery program to help WazirX users who lost money due to the alleged cyberattack of July 2024,” Ashish Singhal, co-founder of CoinSwitch, said in a X post.

CoinSwitch 聯合創始人Ashish Singhal 在一份聲明中表示：「我們正在啟動'CoinSwitch Cares'，這是一項價值60 億盧比（約7000 萬美元）的恢復計劃，旨在幫助因2024 年7 月所謂的網路攻擊而遭受損失的WazirX 用戶。

“CoinSwitch Cares is more than a recovery program—it’s our commitment to building a secure and thriving crypto ecosystem in India…affected users can recover losses, earn rewards, and re-enter the market with confidence through this community-focused initiative. Users can visit the CoinSwitch Cares portal (link in comments) to estimate recovery, deposit funds and claim rewards,” Singhal explained.

「CoinSwitch Cares 不僅僅是一個恢復計劃，它是我們致力於在印度建立一個安全、繁榮的加密生態系統的承諾……受影響的用戶可以透過這項以社區為中心的計劃來挽回損失、獲得獎勵並滿懷信心地重新進入市場。用戶可以訪問 CoinSwitch Cares 入口網站（評論中的連結）來估計恢復情況、存入資金並領取獎勵，」Singhal 解釋道。

CoinSwitch is a product of PeepalCo, a wealth-tech products company. PeepalCo Group serves 19 million Indians and is backed by blue-chip investors, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) (NASDAQ: ZADIHX), Tiger Global, Ribbit Capital (NASDAQ: ZCFFJX), Paradigm, and Coinbase Ventures (NASDAQ: COIN).

CoinSwitch是財富科技產品公司PeepalCo的產品。 PeepalCo Group 為1,900 萬印度人提供服務，並獲得藍籌投資者的支持，包括Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)（納斯達克股票代碼：ZADIHX）、Tiger Global、Ribbit Capital（納斯達克股票代碼：ZCFFJX） 、Paradigm 和Coinbase Ventures（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）。

On January 15, Singhal said that users have already claimed losses worth Rs 1,000,000 ($11,575) as rewards for signing up through the CoinSwitch Cares program.

1 月 15 日，Singhal 表示，用戶已經要求賠償價值 1,000,000 盧比（11,575 美元）的損失，作為透過 CoinSwitch Cares 計畫註冊的獎勵。

“We want more users to take advantage of this program and recover their losses sooner. Since users get more rewards based on overall trading volumes under the program, more users on this program means faster recovery,” Singhal added.

「我們希望更多的用戶利用這個計劃並儘快挽回損失。由於用戶根據該計劃的整體交易量獲得更多獎勵，因此該計劃的用戶越多意味著恢復速度越快。

India, the world’s biggest democracy, imposes a 30% flat tax on all digital currency income with no provision to offset losses and a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) on all transactions above Rs 10,000 ($115). This may likely lead to a loss of about $1.2 trillion in trade volume on domestic exchanges over the years, a study from Esya Centre, an Indian policy think tank, claimed.

印度是世界上最大的民主國家，對所有數位貨幣收入徵收30% 的統一稅，且不提供抵消損失的條款，並對所有超過10,000 盧比（115 美元）的交易徵收1% 的源頭扣除稅(TDS )。印度政策智庫 Esya Centre 的一項研究稱，這可能導致多年來國內交易所的貿易額損失約 1.2 兆美元。

Some global exchanges shut down in India

印度一些全球交易所關閉

While domestic exchanges have been increasingly complying with new regulatory demands, a few of the global digital asset exchanges have been shutting down operations in the world’s most populous nation.

儘管國內交易所越來越遵守新的監管要求，但一些全球數位資產交易所已經關閉了這個世界上人口最多的國家的業務。

Digital asset exchange Bybit is the latest to “temporarily” halt its services to users in the fastest-growing major economy as regulatory pressures mount.

隨著監管壓力的加大，數位資產交易所 Bybit 是最新一家「暫時」停止向成長最快的主要經濟體的用戶提供服務的交易所。

“Due to recent developments from Indian regulators and in continuation of previously implemented restrictions, we regret to inform you that, effective Jan. 12, 2025, 8AM UTC, Indian users will temporarily be unable to open new trades or access any products on the Bybit platform. The only exception will be withdrawals, which will remain available for your convenience,” Bybit said in a statement.
