I want to clarify my position regarding BitMart's notice on 26 July 2026 concerning the orderly wind-down of its trading platform operations. On 24 July 2026 I was informed that my employment as Global CEO was being terminated and that my offboarding would begin immediately. I have not been given a confirmed final date. Since 24 July I have had no role in the management or decision-making of the company and have not been consulted on any operational matters. I was not involved in the decision announced today, not consulted on it, and not informed of it. I learned of it when it became public. My concern is for BitMart's users and its employees. Users should rely only on BitMart's official channels regarding their accounts, and should read the official notice and act on its guidance without delay. Official notice: I am grateful to the colleagues I worked alongside, and my thoughts are with them and with the users affected. I will not be commenting further on the matter at this time. 26 July 2026 Nenter Chow
