Bitget's withdrawal restart is proceeding asset by asset, not exchange-wide: BTC withdrawals on the Bitcoin network opened September 28 at 08:00 UTC, ETH withdrawals across Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism are scheduled for September 29 at 08:00 UTC, and USDT on Ethereum, BSC, Solana, and Tron follows on September 30 at 08:00 UTC, per the exchange's official phased timetable.
Three facts define the current status. First, the restart is network-specific, not simultaneous across all assets. Second, Bitget has confirmed BTC withdrawals on the Bitcoin network are open. Third, ETH withdrawals remain on a scheduled basis, not yet live as of this writing. For related coverage, see Crypto Derivatives Update: Funding, Open Interest & Liquidations | Sept 27, 2026.
The restart follows a September 24 security incident in which Bitget's systems detected unauthorized transfers from hot wallets at 18:31 UTC; the exchange suspended all withdrawals as a precaution at that time. Initial estimates from independent reporting put affected assets at approximately $351.6 million.
A subsequent Bitget tracing update revised the affected-asset figure to approximately $387.5 million transferred to attacker-controlled addresses; the exchange said the higher number reflected fuller blockchain accounting rather than newly identified transfers.

Bitget separately confirmed in a follow-up notice that BTC withdrawals on the Bitcoin network had opened on September 28, consistent with the phased schedule. The network-specific framing is material: BTC availability on the Bitcoin network does not extend to other assets or other chains.
BTC withdrawals — Bitcoin network Sept. 28, 08:00 UTC The exchange's schedule treated the restart as asset- and network-specific, with ETH and USDT following later.CryptoSlate reported that Bitget futures feeds showed BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT fills around 04:20 UTC on September 28, but noted those fills do not establish that a customer withdrawal completed; futures trading activity and confirmed withdrawal availability are distinct operational states. On-chain transaction hashes or block-explorer proofs documenting a specific completed customer BTC withdrawal have not been published.
Separately, blockchain tracing firm AMLBot identified 4 BTC from the Bitget hack routed through Wasabi CoinJoin, a privacy-mixing protocol, indicating active on-chain movement of stolen funds concurrent with the withdrawal reopening process.
ETH withdrawals are scheduled for September 29 at 08:00 UTC across five networks: Ethereum mainnet, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism. The scheduled status distinguishes ETH from BTC's stated open status; users should verify network-specific availability directly via Bitget's support notices before initiating transfers.
USDT withdrawals on Ethereum, BSC, Solana, and Tron are listed in the phased schedule for September 30 at 08:00 UTC. The original breach involved hot-wallet transfers first flagged five days prior, making the $351.6 million initial theft estimate a reference point that has since been revised upward to $387.5 million as blockchain tracing continued.
Bitcoin traded at $83,194 at data capture, down 1.47% over 24 hours, with the broader crypto Fear & Greed Index reading 74 (Greed). Users with pending withdrawals across any of Bitget's scheduled networks should monitor the exchange's official support channel for per-asset, per-network confirmation as each 08:00 UTC window opens.
