After the Bitget security incident on Sept 24, withdrawals were restored in phases according to the official announcement; on Oct 2 at 08:00 UTC (about 16:00 Beijing time), other tokens, fiat, and P2P will be opened. The core message in one sentence only: withdrawals are proceeding according to the schedule ≠ the risk is gone—still verify with official sources, test with a small withdrawal first, and stay away from “compensation/unfreeze” phishing links.
[How to read the phased timetable—what step opens today]
According to Bitget’s official support page (published on 2026-09-26) UTC schedule: from Sept 28 at 08:00, BTC; from Sept 29 at 08:00, ETH and multiple EVM networks; from Sept 30 at 08:00, USDT (including Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Tron, etc.); from Oct 2 at 08:00, other tokens, fiat, and P2P. As of press time (around 12:00 noon Beijing time on Oct 2), BTC/ETH/USDT have already been advanced according to an earlier phase; the UTC 8:00 slot for today has not arrived yet—please rely on the platform’s actual withdrawable status and official channels, and do not turn the “plan” into “fully restored.”
【Has withdrawals resumed—so the risk is gone?】
No. Opening in stages indicates that security checks and risk control are being rolled out gradually—not that all historical vulnerabilities, impersonation site risks, and social-engineering risks are cleared at once. Multiple reports say the platform’s protection fund has been replenished to roughly $309 million. CEO Gracy Chen also publicly said that the remaining assets and P2P will be launched together on Friday at 8:00 AM UTC. These are “progress signals,” not a license to skip verification. What’s more useful for users is: whether your balance is shown, whether the withdrawal button is available, and whether the network and withdrawal limits match the announcements—not rehashing loss headlines.
【What should ordinary people do today to avoid pitfalls】
1. Rely only on official announcements and the app’s in-app status: use the Bitget official website Support Center and the withdrawal page inside the client as the source of truth. Media summaries may be delayed or use different wording.
2. Try withdrawing a small amount first: after withdrawals reopen, use the minimum amount to test the network and arrival time, then scale up. If it gets stuck, stop and compare with the official instructions—don’t listen to unknown customer service offering “remote assistance.”
3. Beware phishing via “this incident” links: “urgent unfreezing,” “compensation airdrops,” “customer service chat to re-sign,” and similar links are almost always bait. Don’t click unfamiliar short links, don’t download unofficial installation packages, and don’t transfer funds to strangers.
4. Don’t badmouth or blindly follow catchphrase-style warehouse/migration talk: whether you should keep using a certain platform is a personal risk preference and asset-allocation decision.

【Frequently Asked Questions】
Q: Can P2P and fiat be withdrawn already by this afternoon?
A: According to the official schedule, other tokens/fiat/P2P plans will start at 08:00 UTC on October 2 (about 16:00 Beijing time). Before the time, follow what the platform shows; after the time, please verify with the official sources first before you act.
Q: Can BTC, ETH, and USDT be withdrawn now?
A: Per the earlier-stage announcements, the three networks were restored separately starting at 8:00 AM UTC on 9/28, 9/29, and 9/30 respectively. The specific coins and networks still depend on the “withdrawable list” shown in the app.
Q: If the protection fund has been topped up to about $300 million, do we still need to worry?
A: The fund size is one of the signals of solvency, but it can’t replace personal verification. You still need to use the official entry points, try a small withdrawal first, and watch out for phishing “compensation” links.
Q: Someone DMed me to click a link for “unfreezing withdrawals.” Can I trust it?
A: No. The official side will not ask you to click an unfamiliar link or install a third-party tool to unfreeze. If you run into such a request, ignore it immediately and verify only through the official app/website.
Q: Should I switch platforms because of this right away?
A: This article does not recommend any platform or tell you to “move instantly.” First ensure your assets are safe and that withdrawal channels are usable, then make your long-term plans based on your own rules.
【In one sentence】
Bitget advances withdrawals according to the UTC schedule: BTC/ETH/USDT have already opened first, while other tokens, fiat, and P2P are planned to start today at 8:00 AM UTC (about 16:00 Beijing time). The return is progress—not a full clearing of risk. Verify official info, try a small withdrawal first, and refuse phishing links; it’s more effective than chasing headlines.
When checking market data and using the client, stick to each platform’s official entry points. Be alert to impersonation sites, unfamiliar download packages, and phishing links for “compensation/unfreezing.” This article does not include any registration or invitation links.
