Indian crypto exchange WazirX sets up an entity in Panama, named Zensui Corporation, to continue crypto operations without a mandatory Singapore license due to tightening regulations.
Singapore is implementing the Financial Services and Markets Act in June 2022, making it harder for companies to operate crypto businesses without a special license from MAS.
WazirX is transferring its platform's crypto-related services to a subsidiary in Panama, known for its relaxed crypto regulations, to ensure smoother operations with easier compliance.
Despite setbacks like the $235M hack in 2021, WazirX continues recovery efforts, faces regulatory scrutiny, and contributes to the broader cryptocurrency adoption landscape in India.
