No unauthorized transfers have occurred since the incident, and the situation remains under control. Bitget has launched a Recovery Bounty Program, offering a 5% bounty to each party that voluntarily assists in freezing the attacker's funds or recovering the funds. The exchange has also launched a real-time tracking dashboard, an information submission portal, and an attacker address API, while supporting reports submitted through Bybit's Lazarus Bounty platform. Bitget is currently making full preparations to resume withdrawals, with a specific withdrawal plan to be announced before 4:00 AM (UTC) on September 26.
According to on-chain detective SomaXBT, Circle has frozen 99,989.91 USDC in an address associated with the Bitget hacker, while approximately 218,000 USDT at the same address remains unfrozen. According to prior on-chain tracking, this address shares a multi-hop fund connection with Bitget's initial stolen funds address. The transferred USDC and USDT remained inactive for over 2.5 hours. The community had previously publicly called on Circle and Tether to freeze the relevant assets. Circle has now taken the lead in executing the action, and SomaXBT subsequently urged Tether to follow suit.

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.
on-chain analyst Yu Jin has monitored that the $464 million risk protection fund Bitget claims can cover stolen assets is a total of 5,500 BTC, distributed across 3 wallet addresses.
Odaily reports: On-chain analyst Specter has stated that they have established an on-chain connection between the Bitget attack and the AFX attack that occurred in July of this year. The latter involved approximately $24 million in stolen funds and was attributed to TraderTraitor.Specter claims that the XRP stolen from Bitget can be directly traced to the stolen funds from the AFX attack after being bridged across chains, leading them to believe that this attack may be related to Lazarus Group. The attribution is still pending further verification.
According to Bitcoin News monitoring, $176 million worth of ETH and USDT0 was transferred from multiple Bitget wallets to a single address, in what appears to be unauthorized activity. This suspected hack did not involve Bitcoin. Bitget has not yet commented.
Odaily News: According to on-chain analyst Ember, B2 rose 120% from $0.41 to $0.9 this afternoon. A suspected B2 proactive market maker transferred 13 million B2, worth $10.44 million, to Binance Alpha through multiple wallets.This batch of B2 was withdrawn from Bitget and Gate about 1 month ago at a price of $0.47, currently yielding a profit of $4.27 million. One of the receiving wallets is linked to an address that previously operated SIREN; Ember believes that this proactive market maker may be the same party that previously operated projects such as SIREN, AKE, XPIN, and BTR.
Bitget Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng has released an open letter on the occasion of the platform's eighth anniversary.
