Published at 2025-12-26 22:00:07

WazirX CEO Nischal Shetty has confirmed that the exchange’s long-running conflict with Binance has escalated into formal legal proceedings. The move marks a significant escalation in a dispute that already worried customers and market watchers, and it introduces legal uncertainty around the platform’s governance and control.

The development matters for WRX holders and users because litigation can affect liquidity, listings and user confidence, especially in a market already sensitive to regulatory scrutiny. Traders and depositors should monitor official updates from WazirX and Binance closely and exercise caution with large exposures until the parties clarify operational continuity and fund access. More details and timelines are expected as the case progresses.
