Bitget reopens bitcoin withdrawals in phased restart after $388 million hack

Posted September 28, 2026 at 6:18 am EST.

Bitget reopened bitcoin withdrawals on Monday, the first step in bringing back a service the exchange has kept frozen since attackers took about $388 million from its hot and warm wallets on Sept. 24.

Withdrawals of BTC on the Bitcoin network began at 8:00 UTC “as scheduled,” Bitget said on X. The exchange said the flaw the attackers used “has been remediated” and that there were “no further unauthorized transfers identified following containment.”

One Asset Group a Day

The rest of the platform comes back in stages, under a timetable Bitget published on its support site on Sept. 26. ETH withdrawals on Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Base and Optimism are set for 8:00 UTC on Tuesday. USDT on Ethereum, BSC, Solana and Tron follows at the same hour on Wednesday. Every other token, along with fiat and P2P withdrawals, is slated for Oct. 2.

Bitget’s notice said the order “applies consistently across users without preference.” Trading and deposits have stayed open, and users don’t need to do anything before their assets unlock, according to the exchange.
