WazirX Lost the Least in Hacks but Froze Withdrawals for 463 Days
- —WazirX lost $235 million (45% of crypto holdings) and froze withdrawals for 463 days
- —Bitget lost $387.5 million on September 24, 2026, and reopened BTC withdrawals in 85 hours
- —Bybit lost $1.46 billion in February 2025 but never halted withdrawals
- —WazirX users waited roughly 130 times longer than Bitget users for access to funds
Why it matters: The case shows that how fast users regain access depends on exchange governance rather than loss size, shaping trust in centralized platforms.
