A balance on a screen is little comfort when the withdrawal button is unavailable. For Bitget users, that button is due to return in stages after the exchange halted withdrawals following a September 24 security breach.
Bitcoin withdrawals are scheduled to reopen at 4 p.m. Philippine time on September 28. Ether follows on September 29, USDT on September 30, and other tokens, fiat withdrawals and peer-to-peer services on October 2. Each stage is scheduled for 4 p.m., though users will need to check whether their asset’s specific network is supported when service returns.
The reopening plan comes as Bitget’s accounting of the breach has grown. The exchange initially reported about $351.6 million in affected assets. It now says approximately $387.5 million reached attacker-controlled addresses after investigators identified additional Zcash and Tron assets involved in the same incident. Bitget says the increase does not mean a second theft occurred.
Bitget says customer balances remain intact and its protection fund covers the financial impact. It also says the vulnerability has been fixed and the incident contained. Those assurances have yet to translate into restored withdrawal access: the company is completing security checks before each service reopens. Deposits and trading remain available in the meantime.
For users, the next test is practical. The published dates say when Bitget plans to restore access; the platform itself will show when a particular withdrawal route is available. The exchange says customers need take no advance action and should watch its official channels for updates.
