Bitget reopened Bitcoin (BTC) withdrawals at 4 a.m. ET (0800 UTC) Monday, beginning the exchange’s staged restoration of services after a security incident.

Ether (ETH) withdrawals are scheduled to resume at 4 a.m. ET (0800 UTC) on Sept. 29, followed by Tether’s USDT withdrawals at 4 a.m. ET (0800 UTC) on Sept. 30. Withdrawals for other tokens, along with fiat and customer-to-customer services, are scheduled to return in stages starting at 4 a.m. ET (0800 UTC) on Oct. 2.

The schedule follows a phased rollout announced by Bitget for restoring withdrawal access. The exchange is also holding a public livestream Monday to review the security incident, provide updates and answer user questions.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen and Greater China head 谢家印 are participating in the livestream. The staged plan places Bitcoin first, with additional assets and services returning over the following four days.
