Shetty also stated that WazirX is still owned by Binance.
In 2019, Binance declared
that he had acquired WazirX – India’s largest crypto exchange. However, amid the ongoing “crypto winter” and a
recent freeze of WazirX accounts by ED due to suspected money laundering, Binance claimed that it only serves as a wallet service provider to WazirX.
