DOG Founder Leonidas Questions Bitget Delisting During Withdrawal Freeze
Bitget announced the delisting after a hack while users still could not withdraw DOG, widening price differences across exchanges.
Bitget’s decision to delist DOG while withdrawals remained suspended after a hack has drawn criticism from DOG founder Leonidas, who questioned the timing and its impact on user trust.
Bitget announced the delisting while users were still unable to withdraw DOG. The combination of restricted access and the delisting notice caused DOG’s price on Bitget to diverge noticeably from prices on other exchanges, affecting users who held or traded the token on the platform.
Leonidas said issuing a delisting notice within hours of a major security incident was not reasonable. He urged Bitget to reverse the decision and keep DOG spot trading available while withdrawals remained unresolved.
The episode has raised concerns about how exchange access, token pricing and user confidence interact during a security incident.
