Bitget to End Services for Some Users, With Account-Specific Deadlines

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Users tied to the affected accounts will notice the change through individual deadlines, withdrawal instructions, and account support, rather than a single universal cutoff. One reported deadline is Oct. 21, and the terms also name Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan as prohibited jurisdictions. This matters now because the action is being applied to some users while the exchange says its wider service continues.

In practice, the platform is no longer treating all users the same way under one blanket service model, because some accounts are being placed on separate deadlines. What remains in place is the broader exchange operation and the statement that user funds are safe during the change. That means the immediate shift is in account handling and access, not a public shutdown of the exchange itself.

The move was larger before the first headline than after. That is an observation, not an explanation: the market also moves on things nobody publishes.
