Our attacker addresses are publicly listed and actively tracked. We are formally asking @THORChain to refuse service to these addresses. Decentralization is a design principle, not a shield for facilitating known stolen funds.

Within 24 hours of the September 24 (UTC) incident: here is our further update as promised. Our investigation with Mandiant and SlowMist is ongoing โ thorough forensic analysis takes more than 24 hours, and further findings will be shared as they become available. Three key updates below ๐
Revised figure:
Onchain tracing has confirmed $387.5M transferred to attacker addresses โ revised up from $351.6M. The higher figure reflects a more complete accounting of transfers during the incident, adding Zcash and TRON assets. To be clear: this is not additional theft. No further unauthorized transfers have occurred. The incident remains contained. Mandiant and SlowMist investigations are ongoing.
Launched bounty program:
Recovery Bounty Program is now live. 5% for voluntary freezing attacker funds, 5% for voluntary recovery. Freezes already secured count toward the bounty โ thank you to every exchange, foundation and security team that moved quickly. We have published a real-time tracing dashboard, a submission portal, and the attacker's address API. You can also submit reports through Bybit's Lazarusbounty platform. Exchanges, security researchers, onchain investigators โ we need you.
Resuming withdrawals:
We are currently working full steam ahead to prepare to resume withdrawals. The withdrawal plan will be announced by September 26th, 4:00AM UTC.

Earlier 7 hours ago, I hosted a live stream with everyone that lasted over three hours. Here's a summary of the points I covered in the live:
โ Bitget security incident update โ 1 hours in. We're sharing specific facts, not just reassurances.
โก Affected assets include ETH, XRP (the largest single chain loss), BNB, AVAX, USDT, USDC, and several other altcoin. The incident spans multiple chains: Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC, and Base. Cold wallets across all chains have been confirmed secure and unaffected.
โข We have contacted foundations across all affected chains. A few have already frozen the hacker's wallet addresses. We are actively pursuing every available avenue and will provide updates as the situation develops.
โฃ Based on IP behavioral patterns and on-chain signatures, this attack is consistent with techniques used by DPRK-linked hacker groups. We have notified relevant authorities and are cooperating fully with them globally.
โค Bitget Wallet operates on completely separate infrastructure from Bitget Exchange. It was not affected by this incident. Bitget Wallet's funds are fully safe.
โฅ To be transparent about our financial position: beyond the $464M+ Protection Fund โ all held in publicly verifiable wallets โ Bitget holds over $1 billion in its own assets. User funds are covered on a 1:1 basis.
โฆ Withdrawal restoration timeline: we are targeting a full resumption as soon as possible. We will announce the exact window as soon as it is confirmed. We will not commit to a timeline we cannot deliver.
Show more
Here is what we can confirm at this stage:
On the attack:
Our security team has made initial progress in tracing the source. The attacker compromised a critical backend system within our wallet infrastructure, used it to spoof transaction data, and triggered our authorization process to move funds out. Private key compromise has been ruled out โ this excludes the more severe risk scenarios. Loss containment is confirmed. No further unauthorized transfers are possible. The specific method of system intrusion remains under active investigation. A full technical report will follow once confirmed.
On withdrawal restoration:
Multiple technical teams are working in parallel on system remediation and security hardening. Withdrawal restoration is being prepared in parallel. We will announce a timeline as soon as one is confirmed โ we will not commit to a window we cannot guarantee.

Been thinking a lot about the last 8 years, and the next 8. We started with crypto because that was where the opportunity was. Today, our users are looking at Bitcoin, stocks, gold and other global markets from the same portfolio.
That change in user behavior has changed how I think about what an exchange should be. The next chapter isn't about adding more products for the sake of it. It's about making it easier for capital to move across markets, 24/7, from one place.
Good piece on why Universal Exchange (better than everything exchange ;) ) is becoming a much bigger conversation across the industry.
Bitget was featured in a FinanceFeed piece about 'Everything Exchanges' and they did an indepth breakdown about our Universal Exchange as well. Here you can read more:

When we first introduced the Universal Exchange (UEX), some called it just a concept.
One year later, Bitget has grown from a challenger into a leader in trading and product innovation, from stock perps and Pre-IPO access to AI trading and our cross-asset Unified Account (UTA).
Data proves our real impact: TradFi perps and CFDs have each surpassed $10 billion in daily trading volume, while tokenized stocks (rToken) has crossed 3 million cumulative transactions.
As #BitgetTurns8#, our direction is clearer than ever, keep making trading perfect for everyone.

Once a while, I just like to read the Bitcoin White paper. Appreciate the mathematical beauty behind it.
