Odaily reports: Bitget stated on X platform that an investigation by Google Cloud's Mandiant into Bitget's September 24 security incident found that attackers gained unauthorized access to certain third-party security devices, then laterally moved into Bitget's exchange wallet environment and obtained access to both warm and hot wallets. The investigation findings are consistent with the attack path previously disclosed by Bitget.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen 发布安全事件最新进展称，平台正与独立第三方安全团队 Mandiant 和慢雾合作，对此次事件展开全面调查。 Gracy Chen 表示，目前用户账户余额保持完整，此次平台层面安全事件造成的影响将由 Bitget 用户保护基金覆盖；Bitget Wallet 采用自托管模式，其基础设施与 Bitget Exchange 相互独立，因此未受到此次事件影响。 目前 Bitget Exchange 的充值、交易及奖励等功能继续运行，但提币仍暂时暂停，平台正在进行额外安全核查，确认安全后将恢复。Bitget 官方公告也显示，提币服务目前仍处于暂停状态，充值和交易正常运行。 Bitget 表示，后续调查进展及安全事件相关信息将通过官方渠道持续公布。
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen posted a 12-hour progress report on the security incident on X, including:1. Affected assets include ETH, XRP (largest single-chain loss), BNB, AVAX, USDT, USDC, and other tokens. Affected chains include: Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC, and Base. All on-chain cold wallets have been confirmed secure and unaffected.2. All foundations of the affected chains have been contacted, and some foundations have confirmed the freezing of the hacker's wallet addresses.3. Based on IP behavioral characteristics and on-chain analysis, the attack methodology is highly consistent with known patterns of North Korean hacker groups. Relevant authorities have been notified, and full cooperation is being provided for a global investigation.4. Bitget Wallet (decentralized wallet) operates completely independently from Bitget exchange infrastructure, and this incident has no impact on it. Bitget Wallet assets are completely safe.5. Transparent disclosure regarding the platform's financial status: In addition to over $464 million in protection funds (all held in publicly verifiable wallet addresses), Bitget's own assets exceed $1 billion. User funds are covered at a 1:1 ratio, and all data can be verified on-chain.6. Regarding withdrawal recovery timing: The goal is to achieve full recovery as soon as possible. Once a specific time window is confirmed, an announcement will be made immediately. No commitment will be made to timelines that cannot be fulfilled.

Odaily News: Bitget Wallet has announced its official membership in the Blockchain Collaborative Consortium (BCCC) of Japan, becoming the first global ToC self-custodial wallet to join the BCCC to date.As Japan officially implements new regulations related to crypto-asset intermediation services in June 2026, Bitget Wallet will participate in industry policy discussions as a BCCC member, exploring the role and positioning of self-custodial wallets within the regulatory framework; at the same time, it will leverage its global self-custodial wallet operational experience to engage in institutional dialogue in the Japanese market, and promote awareness and adoption of on-chain everyday finance among Japanese users.Founded in 2016, the BCCC is Japan's first and largest blockchain industry association, with over 270 member companies and multiple specialized committees including DeFi and stablecoin committees. The alliance has long served as a policy communication and collaboration bridge between Japan's blockchain industry and regulatory authorities.
As the provider of bank account and card services for crypto wallets and payment card products such as SafePal and Bitget Wallet, Fiat24 stated that due to the growth in user base and trading volume outpacing the expansion of its risk management, compliance, and customer service capabilities, it has suspended crypto asset deposits and temporarily halted new user registrations starting July 14 to upgrade its internal control systems. Its international wire transfers, foreign exchange conversions, and P2P payments remain operational, while the resumption time for crypto asset deposits has not yet been announced.
Bitcoin remained near $76,000 on Thursday. After the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, market attention quickly shifted to internal policy divergence and macroeconomic uncertainty. Analysts noted that Bitcoin remains suppressed below the key resistance range of $78,000 to $79,000, lacking short-term breakout momentum.Thomas Perfumo, Chief Economist at Kraken, stated that the market is currently more focused on policy uncertainty stemming from internal "divisions" within the Federal Reserve rather than the inaction itself. This is particularly true against the backdrop of Chairman Jerome Powell's continued tenure and the potential expectation of Kevin Warsh succeeding him, creating a lack of clear policy transition.Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin remains "trapped" below the True Market Mean, with resistance concentrated in the $78,000 to $79,000 range and support lying between $65,000 and $70,000. While selling pressure has eased, demand remains insufficient to support a sustained upward breakout.On the macro front, the Fed has shown rare, severe internal disagreements, interpreted by the market as rising uncertainty over the inflation path. Analysts from institutions like Bitget Wallet and 21Shares point out that the expectation of "higher rates for longer" is suppressing risk asset performance, pushing the crypto market into a wait-and-see phase.Regarding capital flows, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net outflows for three consecutive days, with a single-day outflow of approximately $138 million on April 29. Ethereum ETFs saw outflows of about $87.7 million over the same period. Although individual products still saw inflows, the overall trend indicates cooling institutional demand.Meanwhile, CME open interest and ETF assets under management have stabilized but have yet to show strong signals of capital return. In the derivatives market, short positions in perpetual contracts have reached an all-time high, suggesting a potential squeeze if sentiment improves. However, the current market remains dominated by a low-volatility, low-confidence consolidation structure.Overall, Bitcoin is caught in a tug-of-war between an improving support structure and weak demand. Sustained ETF outflows, policy uncertainty, and macroeconomic risks collectively suppress its ability to break through the key resistance range. (The Block)
Bitget Wallet has launched a Labor Day QR code payment campaign, running from April 28 to May 7, further driving the adoption of stablecoin payments in everyday consumption and travel scenarios across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. During the campaign, users who complete offline QR code payments using USDT or USDC will receive RLUSD cashback for each transaction. From May 1 to May 7, Bitget Wallet will randomly select one paying user per day to receive an additional 1,000 RLUSD cashback. To lower the barrier to first-time usage, Bitget Wallet will also airdrop XRP to eligible participants—serving as the account reserve required to activate RLUSD withdrawals. RLUSD is a compliant U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Ripple and regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). This campaign marks Bitget Wallet’s first real-world consumer application following its integration of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) mainnet and onboarding of the RLUSD payment ecosystem at the end of March—and represents a key milestone in advancing Bitget Wallet’s Everyday Finance strategy.
