{"investigation":{"slug":"bitget","entity_name":"Bitget","trust_score":21,"severity_base":null,"score_modifier":2,"confidence":0.65,"status":"draft","content_type":"investigation","summary":"Bitget is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2018 that offers spot and derivatives trading, a proof-of-reserves program, and a self-custody wallet (Bitget Wallet, formerly BitKeep). On September 24, 2026, Bitget confirmed a hack of approximately $351.6 million from its hot and warm wallets — one of the largest exchange breaches of the year — and froze withdrawals pending investigation. The exchange has a long history of monthly proof-of-reserves disclosures but also carries a record of regulatory restrictions in multiple jurisdictions (France, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines), disputed token-listing practices, and recurring user complaints about frozen accounts and customer support.","sections":[{"content":"At 18:31 UTC on September 24, 2026, Bitget's security systems detected unauthorized transfers from a limited number of the exchange's hot and warm wallets. The company confirmed that approximately $351.6 million in assets — including ETH, USDT and other stablecoins, tokenized gold, AVAX and BNB across multiple blockchains — had been moved out by an unknown attacker, who reportedly swapped freezeable stablecoins into ETH to evade issuer freezes. CEO Gracy Chen stated that Bitget operates a three-tier wallet architecture and that the breach was 'contained to a portion of the exchange's hot and warm wallet layers,' with cold wallets and the majority of platform assets unaffected. Bitget suspended all user withdrawals while keeping deposits and trading online, pending a security review, and said it had notified law enforcement. The company stated the loss falls within the coverage of its User Protection Fund, which it says holds over $464 million, and pledged a full incident report with root-cause analysis within 24 hours of the breach; as of this writing Bitget had not disclosed the attack vector. Independent blockchain analysts, including Arkham Intelligence, flagged the unusual wallet outflows before Bitget's official announcement, and some outlets initially reported lower figures (approximately $178–183 million) before the exchange confirmed the larger $351.6 million total. The incident pushed reported crypto-industry losses for September 2026 above $684 million, making it the costliest month of the year by gross loss, surpassing April 2026's roughly $646.9 million (driven largely by the Drift and KelpDAO exploits). No entity has yet claimed responsibility, and no confirmed attribution (e.g., to North Korea's Lazarus Group, which was blamed for the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025) had been established at time of writing. Given the immaturity of the investigation, the ultimate cause, full asset breakdown, and duration of the withdrawal freeze remain unverified and should be treated as developing.","heading":"September 2026 Hot Wallet Hack ($351.6 Million)","sources":[{"url":"https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/09/24/crypto-exchange-bitget-loses-usd352-million-in-hack-claims-user-funds-are-safe","name":"Crypto exchange Bitget says $352 million affected in a hack, claims user funds are 'safe' — CoinDesk","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitget-calls-security-withdrawal-claims-unverified-amid-178m-breach-reports","name":"Bitget Says User Funds Safe After $351.6M Wallet Incident — Cointelegraph","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cryptoslate.com/bitgets-351-6-million-hack-pushes-september-crypto-losses-to-2026-high/","name":"Bitget's $351.6 million hack pushes September crypto losses to 2026 high — CryptoSlate","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://investinglive.com/cryptocurrency/hackers-drain-351-6-million-from-bitget-in-possibly-2026-s-biggest-crypto-heist/","name":"Hackers drain $351.6 million from Bitget in possibly 2026's biggest crypto heist — InvestingLive","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.tftc.io/bitget-351-million-hot-wallet-hack-withdrawals-frozen","name":"Bitget $351.6M Hack: Withdrawals Frozen, Fund Claims Full Cover — TFTC","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://decrypt.co/379275/bitget-potentially-hacked-as-183-million-vanishes-from-exchange-wallets","name":"Bitget Hacked as $350 Million Vanishes From Crypto Exchange Wallets — Decrypt","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"Prior to Bitget's 2023 acquisition of the non-custodial wallet BitKeep (later rebranded Bitget Wallet), BitKeep suffered two publicly reported breaches.

In December 2022, attackers distributed a counterfeit, trojanized version of the BitKeep app that harvested users' seed phrases; blockchain security firm PeckShield estimated total losses at approximately $8 million, comprising BNB, USDT, DAI and ETH. BitKeep pledged full refunds and reported that 11,090 affected wallets had been compensated by March 2023.

Separately, following the end of the EU's MiCA transitional period on July 1, 2026, Bitget restricted access for users in Austria, France and Germany while its Vienna-based EU entity (which filed a MiCA/CASP authorization application with Austria's Financial Market Authority, announced June 17, 2026) awaits approval.

Bitget has confirmed it does not hold an MAS license and restricts access for Singapore residents. BitgetX withdrew from Hong Kong in 2023 rather than pursue a virtual-asset trading license there. The Philippines blocked access to Bitget's website starting August 1, 2025, with the Philippine SEC citing the platform's operation without required Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration. Bitget's own restricted-jurisdiction list as of 2026 reportedly spans roughly two dozen markets, including the United States, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and the Netherlands, alongside sanctioned states such as Iran, North Korea and Cuba; the exchange holds no U.S. entity or license.

In late 2023, Bitget became embroiled in a dispute with the Floki Inu team over the listing of the TokenFi (TOKEN) memecoin; Floki alleged Bitget listed a fake version of the token roughly twelve minutes before the genuine token had been issued and facilitated tens of millions of dollars of trading volume without holding underlying tokens, while Bitget cited suspected market manipulation and 'malicious control of liquidity' on decentralized exchanges as grounds for delisting. Separately, Bitget faced a lawsuit from an advisor to the ReelStar (REELT) token project after that token's listing went sour; Bitget publicly stated an influencer involved had acted in bad faith and said it would cooperate with authorities on possible insider trading or price manipulation, after REELT's price fell over 60% from its opening price, prompting delisting and user compensation. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has separately accused Bitget of allowing market makers to manipulate token supply on the RAVE, RIVER, SIREN and LAB tokens to the detriment of retail traders — an allegation reported via secondary sources and not independently confirmed by regulators. In May 2026 Bitget announced a 'market integrity and token accountability framework' aimed at strengthening pre-listing review and post-listing surveillance, an implicit acknowledgment of prior listing-related controversy.","heading":"Token Listing Disputes and Alleged Market Manipulation","sources":[{"url":"https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/11/01/bitget-embroiled-in-bitter-10m-dispute-with-floki-over-tokenfi-memecoin-listing","name":"Bitget Embroiled in Bitter $10M Dispute With Floki Over TokenFi Memecoin Listing — CoinDesk","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitget-exchange-sued-advisor-reelstar-100000687.html","name":"Bitget Exchange Faces Lawsuit by Advisor of ReelStar Token Project After the Listing Goes Sour — Yahoo Finance","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://pluang.com/en/news-feed/bitget-terlibat-penipuan-pasar-dengan-manipulasi-suplai-token-rave-river-siren","name":"Bitget accused of enabling market maker fraud via token supply manipulation (RAVE/RIVER/SIREN) — Pluang","type":"news_article","credibility":3},{"url":"https://invezz.com/news/2026/05/20/bitget-introduces-market-integrity-and-token-accountability-framework/","name":"Bitget introduces market integrity and token accountability framework — Invezz","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"high"},{"content":"Bitget has published a monthly Proof of Reserves (PoR) report since December 2022, stating a commitment to a 1:1 reserve ratio policy. As of the September 2026 update (its 46th issue), Bitget reported an aggregate reserve ratio of 135% and expanded asset coverage from 4 to 19 assets. Proof-of-reserves programs of this kind, industry-wide, rely on self-selected audit scope and snapshot timing set by the exchange, and do not constitute a full independent audit of liabilities; critics of the PoR model generally (not specific to Bitget) have noted risks such as snapshot manipulation via short-term borrowing.

Trustpilot shows a middling composite rating (reported around 3.1/5 from over 2,500 reviews) with a recurring pattern of complaints: users allege accounts were frozen over unproven market-manipulation accusations and that funds were released only after users forfeited trading profits; other complaints describe P2P trading scams in which counterparties allegedly failed to deliver after receiving crypto, with limited support recourse; and complaints of unexplained forced liquidations in margin accounts followed by unresponsive support. These are user-submitted, largely unverified reports and should be treated as low-confidence, Tier 3 evidence rather than established fact, though their volume and consistency are a pattern worth noting. Independent scam-tracking sites disagree sharply on Bitget's trustworthiness, with some giving Bitget a high 'trust' score and others flagging it over blacklisting history and transparency concerns — underscoring the unreliability of consumer-facing trust badges as a category.","heading":"User Complaints: Account Freezes and Customer Support","sources":[{"url":"https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bitget.com","name":"Bitget Reviews — Trustpilot","type":"community_report","credibility":3}],"severity":"medium"},{"content":"Bitget is led by CEO Gracy Chen.
