Bitget announced it will discontinue services for certain customers, particularly those in prohibited jurisdictions such as Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Affected users receive individual notices with deadlines and withdrawal instructions, with one reported cutoff date on October 21. The exchange clarified this is a targeted action, not a full shutdown, and customer funds remain safe. This move follows a major security breach in September involving $387.5 million in transfers, though Bitget did not link the account terminations to that incident.
