Bitget — Security Incident and Service Restoration Notice

What happened

On September 24, 2026, at approximately 18:31 (UTC), Bitget experienced a hot and warm wallet security breach involving unauthorized transfers resulting in a final confirmed loss of approximately $387.5 million, while cold wallets remained unaffected. CEO Gracy Chen announced the incident and temporary withdrawal suspension via her official X account and announcements on September 24 and 25, 2026. All user losses are fully covered by Bitget's $464 million User Protection Fund. Following a phased resumption plan that restored BTC on September 28, ETH/Layer-2 on September 29, and USDT on September 30, all cryptocurrency, fiat, and C2C withdrawals were fully completed as of October 2, 2026.

What to check if you used this exchange

• Log in to your account to verify your cryptocurrency balance and confirm that normal withdrawal functionality is available following the October 2 release of restrictions.
• Be aware that temporary withdrawal suspensions may still occur periodically for specific token networks due to routine wallet maintenance.
• Check official Bitget announcements and the official X account regularly for the latest operational updates and security guidelines.

The following is not borrowed reporting — these are values AntProfit collects and measures directly (as of 17:02 on 13 Oct KST).

• USDT spot markets we track on this exchange: 3,317
• Measured fill cost (buying ARX): a $100 order slips 0.027% · a $100,000 order 48.264% — large orders fill worse than the quote

Normal-looking numbers do not mean safety — regulatory and withdrawal problems show up in prices and books only later.
