Bitget to Resume Withdrawals in Phases Starting September 28

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget will begin restoring customer withdrawals in stages from September 28, four days after it detected and contained a security incident in its wallet infrastructure. The vulnerability behind the breach has been identified and remediated, and the exchange is reopening withdrawals in dated phases while independent security firms review the fix, according to a notice on Bitget’s support center. Trading and deposits have continued uninterrupted throughout the pause.

Four phases for the return of withdrawals

Bitcoin withdrawals reopen first, at 08:00 UTC on September 28, on the Bitcoin network. Ether withdrawals follow at the same time on September 29 across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Base and Optimism. Tether’s USDT returns on September 30 across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana and Tron, and all remaining tokens, fiat services and peer-to-peer transfers are scheduled for October 2. Bitget said the staggered rollout lets it restore services “as quickly and safely as possible” while its teams finish security checks across the withdrawal infrastructure. The phased schedule also lets the exchange bring withdrawals back in an orderly way, and Bitget said the same timetable applies consistently across users without preference.
