$XRP $TRX $ZEC The exchange detected unauthorized transfers from hot/warm wallets on September 24, 2026. The initial estimate was approximately US$351.6 million and was revised to around US$387.5 million after tracking across multiple networks (Ethereum and other EVMs, XRP Ledger, TRON, Zcash, etc.). The company attributes the attack to methods consistent with North Korean groups, states that cold wallets and most funds were not affected, that private keys were not compromised, and that the user protection fund (over US$464 million) covers the loss.
Withdrawals were suspended; Bitget plans to gradually resume them starting September 28 (beginning with Bitcoin). There is intense discussion about THORChain's refusal to block wallets linked to the attack (claiming permissionless design), with criticisms and defenses circulating.
