On September 25, 2026, Bitget Exchange confirmed a hack that resulted in the theft of over $183 million from its hot wallets, while cold wallets remain secure. CEO Gracy Chen assured users that their funds are safe and that the loss is covered by the User Protection Fund, which holds over $464 million. The attack was flagged by on-chain analysts who noted unusual activity, with assets rapidly transferred to a newly created address. The exploit involved swapping USDT for ETH through decentralized exchanges like UniswapX and 1inch Fusion, indicating a quick response from the attacker. Bitget Wallet, a separate self-custody service, confirmed that its systems were unaffected and urged users to remain vigilant against phishing attempts. The exchange has since paused withdrawals while investigating the incident.
