Bitget2026-09-28 07:54:53Bitget CEO says first security incident in eight years stemmed from third-party security product flawBitget CEO Gracy said in a community livestream on Sept. 28 that the exchange’s recent security incident was the first such event in the company’s eight-year history. According to her account, attackers exploited a vulnerability in a third-party security product to steal internal network credential permissions, then forged withdrawal instructions to the wallet system and triggered abnormal transfers that bypassed risk checks. Gracy said private keys were not compromised and cold wallets were not affected, with fuller technical details to be released in a formal security report. She also said verified losses from the incident fall within the coverage of Bitget’s protection fund, meaning user funds were not affected. Gracy added that Bitget has more than $1.4 billion in proprietary funds, including about $464 million in its user protection fund, and said the platform plans to replenish the fund to its $300 million baseline within one week while maintaining the security commitment it made when the fund was established in 2022.260
Bitget2026-09-28 07:54:23Bitget CEO says protection fund will be replenished to $300 million within a week after security incidentBitget CEO Gracy said in a community livestream that the exchange will restore its protection fund to the $300 million baseline within one week after a recent security incident. She described the case as the first security incident in Bitget’s eight-year history and said the attack was traced to a vulnerability in a third-party security product. According to her account, the attacker stole internal network permission credentials and then forged withdrawal instructions to the wallet system, leading the wallet to execute abnormal transfers that bypassed risk checks. Gracy said private keys were not leaked and cold wallets were not affected, with more technical details to be disclosed in a formal security report. She also said the verified losses fall within the coverage of the protection fund, so user funds remain safe. Bitget’s proprietary capital exceeds $1.4 billion, she added, including about $464 million in the user protection fund. Gracy said the exchange will continue to honor the security commitment it made when the fund was established in 2022.250
THORChain2026-09-27 02:25:06RUNE jumps more than 20% in 24 hours as THORChain addresses Bitget stolen funds debateMarket data showed THORChain’s native token RUNE rose more than 20% over the past 24 hours, reaching a high of 0.824 USDT before trading at 0.801 USDT at the time of the update. The move came as discussion continued around part of the funds stolen from Bitget allegedly being moved through THORChain. In a post on X, THORChain said it had noticed the recent Bitget theft and was deeply troubled by the incident, adding that the case was a challenge for everyone in the industry. The protocol also argued that THORChain, like Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB Chain, is decentralized and permissionless, and questioned what responsibility those networks should bear when handling known stolen funds. THORChain later called out OKX CEO Star and Bitget CEO Gracy in the same discussion.260
Bitget2026-09-14 10:36:28Bitget’s 8th anniversary letter puts institutional business at the center of its next phaseBitget marked its eighth anniversary with a public letter from CEO Gracy, who used the occasion to revisit the exchange’s UEX strategy and outline what comes next. She said the plan, introduced a year ago, was met with skepticism at first, and that the team chose to answer those doubts through product launches rather than rhetoric. In the letter, Gracy said UEX was designed to remove fragmentation across assets, accounts, time zones and regions, allowing users to trade global quality assets through a one-stop platform. She also described 2025 to 2026 as the first year of multi-asset trading, pointing to a broader move by leading exchanges into traditional finance products. The letter listed several launches over the past year, including stock perpetual futures, Pre-IPO products, a unified cross-asset account, rToken and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. Bitget said non-crypto assets at peak accounted for 40% of total platform trading volume, while daily trading volume in TradFi contracts and CFDs both exceeded $10 billion. Gracy added that institutional business will be the company’s core direction in the next stage, with institutional client net assets up 45% by Q2 2026 from Q3 2025, and core active market makers rising from 90 to 248.880
Bitget2026-09-14 10:20:01Bitget CEO Gracy says multi-asset trading era is just beginning in 8th anniversary letterBitget marked its eighth anniversary with a public letter from CEO Gracy, who used the occasion to defend the exchange’s Universal Exchange, or UEX, strategy and outline what she sees as the next stage of competition in trading platforms. Gracy said the idea behind UEX was to remove fragmentation across assets, accounts, time zones and regions so users could access global quality assets through a single trading venue. In the letter, she said Bitget spent the past year answering skepticism with product launches rather than rhetoric. She described 2025 to 2026 as the “first year of multi-asset trading,” pointing to a broader move by leading exchanges into traditional finance products. The company rolled out stock perpetual futures, Pre-IPO products, a cross-asset unified account, rToken and Hong Kong stock Quanto contracts. Gracy also disclosed operating figures tied to that push. Non-crypto assets at peak accounted for 40% of total platform trading volume. Daily trading volume for TradFi contracts and CFDs each surpassed $10 billion, while cumulative rToken trades exceeded 3 million. On institutional expansion, she said Bitget will make that business a core focus. As of the second quarter of 2026, net assets held by institutional clients were up 45% from the third quarter of 2025, and the number of core active market makers increased from 90 to 248.840
