Users can still deposit, withdraw assets, and convert crypto to Bitcoin or Ether. Remaining open positions will be forcibly liquidated by Dec. 30, with card services suspended the same day. This phased shutdown follows Bitget's August announcement to comply with Japanese regulations and comes after a $388 million unauthorized transfer incident in September, which has since been addressed.
