CoinDCX 考虑收购 WazirX，CoinSwitch 为受影响用户启动 7000 万美元的恢复计划

印度第一家数字货币独角兽公司 CoinDCX 表示有兴趣接管陷入困境的 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.

印度第一家数字货币独角兽公司 CoinDCX 已表示有兴趣接管陷入困境的 WazirX 交易所，而 CoinSwitch 交易所则启动了一项 7000 万美元的资产回收计划，以帮助因 2024 年 7 月的网络攻击而遭受损失的 WazirX 用户。

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 曾经是印度交易量最大的数字资产交易所，去年遭受了价值 2.35 亿美元的网络攻击，此后一直在努力恢复。朝鲜的 Lazarus Group 实施了 WazirX 黑客攻击。这凸显了人们对全球数字货币平台安全弱点的日益担忧。

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.

此次收购要约以及向 WazirX 用户提供财务帮助之际，印度的数字资产交易所可能正在考虑整合，由于该国惩罚性的税收制度，较小的交易所要么关闭业务，要么与较大的交易所合并。

“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.

“我们正在密切关注事态发展，并不断考虑各种选择，包括接管 WazirX 和努力追回资金。然而，此事目前正在审理中，这限制了我们在新加坡法院做出明确决定之前采取直接行动的能力，”CoinDCX 联合创始人 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.

“也就是说，如果 WazirX 团队与我们接洽，并且经法院/债权人批准，我们愿意介入并提供帮助。我们甚至准备从自有资金中调出一些资金来援助受影响的用户，帮助他们尽可能挽回损失。”古普塔补充道。

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，印度首家数字货币独角兽CoinDCX在其平台上架了BSV代币进行交易，让用户有更多方式购买、出售和交易BSV。 CoinDCX 拥有近 1500 万注册用户，此次上市标志着 BSV 向印度市场的重大扩张，并展示了其在该地区的潜力和可能性。

“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 联合创始人 Ashish Singhal 在一份声明中表示：“我们正在启动‘CoinSwitch Cares’，这是一项价值 60 亿卢比（约合 7000 万美元）的恢复计划，旨在帮助因 2024 年 7 月所谓的网络攻击而遭受损失的 WazirX 用户。” X 帖子。

1 月 15 日，Singhal 表示，用户已经要求赔偿价值 1,000,000 卢比（11,575 美元）的损失，作为通过 CoinSwitch Cares 计划注册的奖励。

“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.

“我们希望更多的用户利用这个计划并尽快挽回损失。由于用户根据该计划的总体交易量获得更多奖励，因此参与该计划的用户越多意味着恢复速度越快。”Singhal 补充道。

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国家，对所有数字货币收入征收 30% 的统一税，且不提供抵消损失的条款，并对所有超过 10,000 卢比（115 美元）的交易征收 1% 的源头扣除税 (TDS)。印度政策智库 Esya Centre 的一项研究称，这可能导致多年来国内交易所的贸易额损失约 1.2 万亿美元。
