In another separate tweet, Shetty responded to Zhao’s claims that Binance can shut down WazirX by saying, “ We could shut down WazirX ” – Proves you have control. “Shared access of AWS” – You have
ROOT access of AWS! Anyone with root access controls AWS
“WazirX domain transferred to our control” – Good to see you confirm that
Only control now is Zanmai, why are you not taking it”.

Shetty also said that WazirX is still owned by Binance.
In 2019, Binance said
that it had acquired WazirX — India’s biggest crypto exchange. However, amidst the ongoing “crypto winter” and a
recent freeze of WazirX’s accounts by the ED owing to alleged money laundering, Binance has claimed that it only served as a wallet service provider to WazirX.
