Amid the ongoing debt restructuring of the hacked Indian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX, its digital custody partner Liminal\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> released a statement regarding the purported security lapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liminal issued an update on October 22 in response to WazirX's “disinformation campaign” and to clarify its involvement in the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the statement, the crypto exchange continues to utilize its digital custody services, maintaining millions of its assets on Liminal, despite accusing Liminal of causing the $235 million breach in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WazirX maintained a $175 million account with Liminal for 75 days<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Liminal stated that the accused maintained over $175 million in assets on its platform for 75 days after the security breach. In addition, it included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespite their accusations, as of today, approximately $50 million of their user assets continue to remain on wallets accessed via Liminal Infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Cointelegraph contacted the crypto exchange to respond to Liminal's allegations; however, the publication still needs to receive a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liminal emphasized that it cannot initiate transactions involving WazirX's funds, asserting that only the the exchange team can execute such transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liminal references WazirX submission of 240,000 wallet addresses to the court<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Liminal also referenced the crypto exchange's decision to disclose information on 240,000 wallet addresses “by the debt restructuring process” in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WazirX announced the news on October 17, stating that the disclosure was a court requirement and a testament to the exchange's dedication to transparency and its goal of becoming “one of the most open and trusted exchanges.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Liminal, data disclosure has been extensively criticized as a potential disinformation campaign intended to confuse both users and legal authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liminal stated that the cryptocurrency ecosystem has been the subject of intense debate and concern due to the exchange's comprehensive submission, which spans 1,100 odd pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have observed that a significant amount of WazirX crypto has been transferred to exchanges like KuCoin and Bybit following the incident.” Singhal wrote on X, “At present, we have identified the transfer of $72.12 million in crypto to Bybit and $1.5 million in funds to KuCoin.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
