Xie Jiayin said in a post on X that the Bitget security incident involved multiple non-EVM chains and 10 tokens, and that the exchange handled processing and withdrawal restoration differently from last year’s Bybit security incident because the theft methods were not the same. He also said he will appear with Bitget CEO Gracy Chen in a community livestream on Monday, scheduled 30 minutes before withdrawals resume, to discuss the incident and answer questions from the community.
Bitget later posted on X that withdrawals will return in stages. Bitcoin network withdrawals are set to resume at 8:00 UTC on Sept. 28. ETH withdrawals on Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism are scheduled for 8:00 UTC on Sept. 29. USDT withdrawals on Ethereum, BSC, Solana, and Tron are set for 8:00 UTC on Sept. 30. Withdrawals for other tokens, fiat, and P2P are planned for 8:00 UTC on Oct. 2. The exchange said trading and deposit services remain available and users do not need to take action in advance.
Odaily reported that Xie Jiayin said in a post on X that the Bitget security incident involved multiple non-EVM chains and 10 tokens. He said the exchange used a different approach from the one taken during last year’s Bybit security incident when handling the matter and restoring withdrawals, because the method used to steal the assets was different and the platform wanted to fully rule out potential risks.
