Binance Dodges Question on WazirX Acquisition As Users Await Funds
Raza posed the crucial question: would Binance step in to help by acquiring WazirX?
At a recent Binance meetup in Delhi, a question from a crypto influencer about the exchange potentially acquiring WazirX to help its users in light of the recent hack was met with a careful, non-committal response from Binance’s Regional Head. The exchange has faced growing pressure in India following the hack of WazirX, once linked to Binance, sparking fears and doubts among its users.
Crypto influencer Kashif Raza addressed the gathering, stating that Binance’s reputation for trust and goodwill had earned it a strong following globally, including in India. He pointed out that the WazirX hack had been a setback for the entire ecosystem, with Binance’s name initially used to boost the exchange’s legitimacy, even though Binance had later distanced itself from it.
As users continued to search for answers, Raza posed the crucial question: would Binance step in to help by acquiring WazirX or offering another solution to ease the situation?
Vishal Sacheendran, Binance’s Head of Regional Markets, acknowledged the challenges following the WazirX incident but declined to comment on whether Binance would take any action regarding a potential acquisition.
Instead, he emphasized the broader industry’s collective efforts when hacks occur, stating that security concerns transcend competition and that all crypto companies work together to protect the ecosystem.
Sacheendran reassured the audience that Binance was deeply involved in addressing the aftermath of the WazirX hack, though he refrained from providing any specifics. His comments were a reminder to continue trusting Binance as the company strives to build a secure, innovative platform for users.
Despite the uncertainty, confidence in Binance remains palpable, especially in India, where the excitement following Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao’s (CZ) return to the region is evident.
