BitMart said “updates within three weeks,” not “withdrawals within three weeks.”

I won’t treat hiring a financial advisor as a signal that withdrawals have resumed. For users who still have funds in BitMart, what you should do now is save your balances and withdrawal application records—not arrange funds according to a “three weeks later” payout schedule.

On September 9, BitMart announced that it would hire Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) to assess assets, financial condition, and feasible options. The announcement plans to publish a user feedback portal within five business days. In the following three weeks, it will roll out updates through feedback channels and an action plan. One is an entry point for collecting opinions, and the other is an information update window—neither is a withdrawal completion deadline.

Advisor involvement is a step toward asset verification; however, without seeing the verification results disclosed, it can’t be taken as confirmation that solvency has been established. Cointelegraph’s report also pointed out that this announcement did not provide asset figures, recovery estimates, or a withdrawal timeline. The official statement also said it plans to appoint an independent third party to oversee operations and asset custody—“planned to appoint” is not the same as already taking over.

This doesn’t mean users definitely won’t get their funds back—only that the current evidence is insufficient to judge when, and how much, can be recovered. For affected users, the next more useful steps are to export account transaction records, save the withdrawal numbers, and then follow the subsequent feedback portal after the official announcement. Do not transfer money to any “unlock/accelerate withdrawals” addresses found in private messages, and do not provide your seed phrase.

Next, track the two windows mentioned in the September 9 announcement: whether a formal portal is available within five business days, and whether verified asset information and actionable withdrawal arrangements are provided within three weeks. The latter two are observation requirements, not promises that the announcement will be completed within the stated time. Only if the verification results and actual withdrawal progress corroborate each other can the risk to funds usability be reduced; if there is another delay without substantive disclosure, or if additional transfers are required to release balances, increase your alert level.
