Bitget reopened Bitcoin withdrawals after a temporary pause, and the exchange said withdrawals were live again while other assets would return in phases. By early Sept. 28, it said it had processed thousands of BTC withdrawal requests, and later reported that a larger wave of withdrawal orders had been handled with no backlog. Separate coverage described the post-reopening outflow in Bitcoin terms and tracked some of the movement path used for the stolen funds.

What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Bitget users who wanted to move Bitcoin had access again once withdrawals reopened, while holders of other assets were still waiting for phased returns. Anyone watching the exchange that day would have seen withdrawal activity resume and continue to build through the morning and later hours.

Before the reopening, Bitcoin withdrawals were paused; after it, the exchange was processing large volumes of withdrawal requests and reporting no backlog. The broader mechanics of the movement also changed for the tracked funds, which were sent through prepared Chainflip deposit addresses before being converted into Bitcoin.
