ChainCatcher news, the Madras High Court of India ruled on Friday that crypto assets constitute property protected by the constitution, preventing WazirX from reallocating user assets under its restructuring plan in Singapore. Judge N. Anand Venkatesh issued an injunction to protect 3,532 XRP tokens, rejecting the exchange's proposal for “socialization of losses” after suffering a $234 million hacker attack in July 2024. The judge stated that while cryptocurrencies “are neither tangible property nor currency,” they “are a form of property that can be enjoyed and owned beneficially.” This ruling establishes the legal status of crypto assets as property and stipulates that assets held by exchanges must be regarded as client trust property. The court also rejected WazirX's argument that its Singapore court-approved restructuring automatically binds Indian users. Currently, users have only received 30% of the expected funds.
