2019-11-25 15:58
Updated on 2022-08-12: We would like to clarify that the “acquisition” described below was limited to an agreement to purchase certain assets and intellectual property of WazirX. Binance did not purchase any equity (and does not own any equity) in Zanmai Labs, the entity operating WazirX and established by the original founders. WazirX (including the foregoing assets) continues to be operated and managed by Zanmai Labs. In addition, as mentioned in our update, we have removed the off-chain fund transfer channel between WazirX and Binance. Effective from 2022-08-11 03:00 (UTC), Binance will cease to support off-chain fund transfers between WazirX Exchange and Binance via the “Login with Binance” option.
