first_img Bitget: A small amount of hot wallets were unauthorizedly transferred, involving 351.6 million USD; the vast majority of the platform's assets are safe, and the protection fund can cover the losses

The cryptocurrency trading platform Bitget announced on its official X account that on September 24, 2026, at 18:31 (UTC), its security system detected unauthorized transfers from a small number of hot wallets. The security team has immediately initiated an emergency response procedure and started a comprehensive investigation.Bitget stated that, based on current assessments, approximately $351.6 million in assets are affected. Cold wallets and the vast majority of assets on the platform remain secure and unaffected, and user funds are still protected. The incident falls within the coverage of the user protection fund, which currently holds over $464 million.Bitget mentioned that customer account balances remain accurate, and deposits and transactions continue to operate normally. As a precautionary measure, withdrawals have been temporarily suspended to allow the team to complete a thorough security review. The company has identified and flagged the relevant transfer addresses, formally contacted law enforcement agencies and on-chain security partners, and will restore withdrawals as soon as safety is confirmed, providing subsequent updates through official channels while refraining from speculating on the attack path during the investigation.

first_img Bitget suspected of being hacked, approximately 183 million USD in assets flowed out from the exchange wallet

According to Decrypt, on-chain data shows that approximately $183 million in crypto assets flowed from a wallet marked as Bitget to a newly created address. Bubblemaps and Arkham analysts flagged this unusual activity on September 24, stating that Bitget may have been hacked. The funds were transferred from the exchange's hot and cold wallet reserves within about an hour, involving tokens such as ETH, USDT, USDC, AVAX, BNB, and XAUT.The first anomaly came from the hot wallet. A new address starting with 0xe410 utilized $19.67 million in USDT within 6 minutes, exchanging it for 7,111 ETH through UniswapX and 1inch Fusion, with the transaction price about 5% higher than the market price. On-chain researcher DCF GOD pointed out that subsequently, more wallets marked as Bitget transferred ETH, AVAX, BNB, USDC, USDT, and XAUT to the same address. The outflow of funds stopped about 6 minutes after the first suspicious transaction and remained silent for at least 20 minutes thereafter.Some users reported that withdrawals were blocked, and Bitget has not issued a public statement nor responded immediately to Decrypt's request for comment. On-chain analysts stated that the marked Bitget wallets still hold approximately $500 million in assets. Bitget had launched a $300 million protection fund in 2023 to cover losses from hacks, thefts, and other incidents.
