WazirX, one of India’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, is set to resume trading on October 24, 2025, following a 16-month shutdown caused by a major security breach. The restart marks a significant step for the exchange as it seeks to regain user confidence and strengthen its platform security.
The exchange had suspended trading in June 2024 after a cyberattack compromised certain user wallets, leading to a temporary halt in operations while WazirX implemented enhanced security protocols and conducted extensive system audits.
With the upcoming relaunch, WazirX aims to offer a secure, fully audited trading environment, along with improved safeguards to prevent future incidents. Users can expect restored access to wallets, trading functionalities, and withdrawal options, subject to new security guidelines.
WazirX CEO commented that the exchange has taken robust measures to ensure platform safety, including advanced encryption, multi-factor authentication, and enhanced monitoring systems. The company also plans to educate users on safe crypto trading practices to reduce the risk of cyber threats.
The resumption of trading comes at a critical time for the Indian cryptocurrency market, which is witnessing renewed interest from retail and institutional investors. WazirX’s return is expected to boost market activity and reinforce confidence in India’s crypto ecosystem.
