Bitget Reopens Bitcoin Withdrawals as Hacker Moves $83M in Stolen XRP

  • —BTC withdrawals reopened September 28, ETH on the 29th, USDT on the 30th, remaining assets on October 2
  • —Hacker moved $83 million in XRP from three wallets and converted ETH to BTC via THORChain
  • —Circle and Tether froze $318,000 tied to the hack
  • —Loss estimate rose from $351.6 million to $387.5 million after Zcash and TRON transactions
Why it matters: Phased withdrawal restoration eases bank-run risk, but tracking stolen funds through THORChain remains unresolved.
