On September 24, 2026, Bitget confirmed that hackers drained approximately $351.6 million from its hot and warm wallets.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The loss, which is possibly 2026's largest crypto heist, has caused Bitget's own token, BGB, to fall roughly 5%. While the broader crypto market is up nearly 10%, the frozen withdrawals pose a risk to sentiment regarding other centralized exchanges.
