The exchange stated that the New Zealand Court has granted the platform an additional ten working days to submit the first settlement report, with the date scheduled for June 4th, 2019.
Here’s the tweet from the official Twitter profile of Cryptopia:

Cryptopia’s current situation
At the moment, by visiting the website of the exchange, there is a press release relating to the liquidation process.
According to the announcement, the liquidation process is managed by David Ruscoe and Russell Moore, representatives of Grant Thornton. The expected time for the entire liquidation will be several months instead of a few weeks as originally planned.
The exchange decided to go down this path because of the security breach that occurred at the beginning of January this year.
In the last few days, the solen Ethereum funds have started to circulate towards several wallets and exchanges, including Huobi and EtherDelta.
Huobi issued a statement on the recent events and the way in which it intends to deal with these funds. More specifically, the platform stated that the stolen funds were immediately detected by its system and that they were immediately frozen.
The new exchange
Cryptopia founder Adam Clark hasn’t given up and, according to his LinkedIn profile, he has been working on a new exchange for about 9 months. The exchange will be called Assetylene.
As of today, the newborn exchange seems to be working but the volumes are still close to zero.
