[SECURITY NOTICE] Bitget Hot Wallet Incident — September 24, 2026
At 18:31 UTC on September 24, 2026, Bitget's security systems detected unauthorized transfers from some of our hot wallets. Our security team activated emergency response protocols immediately.
What we have confirmed:
-Estimated funds affected: approximately $351.6 million
-Cold wallets remain fully secure. Bitget operates a three-tier wallet architecture — the breach contained only a portion of the hot wallet and warm wallet layers.
-User funds are safe. The full amount of this loss falls within the coverage of Bitget's User Protection Fund, which currently holds over $464 million
Actions we have taken:
-Emergency response team activated within minutes of detection
-Abnormal transfer addresses identified, flagged, and reported
-Withdrawals temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure, pending security review
-Law enforcement and on-chain security firms have been formally notified and are engaged
What this means for you:
-Your account balances are accurate and your assets are protected
-Deposits and trading remain fully operational
Withdrawals are temporarily paused and will be restored as soon as the security review is complete
-What comes next: We will provide updates on an hourly basis across this channel and all official platforms. A full incident report — including root cause analysis and corrective actions — will be published within 24 hours. We will not speculate on the attack vector until the investigation is complete.
Bitget has navigated multiple market cycles. We will not run from this. Every dollar and every decision will be accounted for, transparently and in full.
Updates will be posted here and across all official Bitget channels as they become available.

I haven’t been able to withdraw my funds from @bitget for more than an hour now.
There was previously some unofficial information that the exchange had been hacked for around $150 million. For an exchange of this size, that may not be a significant amount, as they have reserves, but I still want to see my funds safely in my own wallet.
A ROBOTIC HAND SET WRITES CALLIGRAPHY, BALANCES A CYLINDER, RESETS ITS OWN GRIP — BUILT BY ONE FRENCH ENGINEER FOR $800.
two dexterous hands, mounted on arms, working off the same table. one holds a brush steady while it traces a character stroke by stroke — no drift in the line, no overcorrection at the end of a stroke, the kind of fine motor control that usually needs a lab-grade actuator stack behind it.
that's the actual gap this closes. most dexterous hands at this level of finger articulation come out of research labs with six-figure budgets per unit — multiple motors per finger, force sensors in every joint, tendon-driven actuation that has to be tuned individually. this one, called T-Rex, was built solo, outside that budget entirely.
the fingers aren't just closing around objects, they're making contact decisions — how much force to apply gripping a cylinder without crushing it or dropping it, how to reposition mid-task when the first grip isn't quite right. that correction loop is the hard part. a hand that grabs once and holds is easy. a hand that notices the grip is off and adjusts without being told is a different problem.
$800 for a hand doing work that normally justifies a research grant.
@xQu1q the wires and support rods staying visible is the detail most reposts leave out, and it's the actual limitation worth tracking as this gets iterated on. "low-visibility" is a more honest framing than "invisible"
actually, this question already makes sense. at first glance, you can’t even tell AI-generated content from something real anymore. most people never actually meet the celebrities or influencers they follow anyway, and when they pay for subscriptions on certain platforms, they’re still just looking at a screen. so, to a large extent, this is already becoming a real question
@DarioCpx put OI at 421K vs call OI at 251K on that expiry is a real skew worth noting, regardless of whether "manipulation" is the right word for options positioning doing what options positioning does
@VitalikButerin curious how this actually plays out for the parts explicitly flagged as hard to compress — UI components where the definition isn't much smaller than the implementation. does formal verification just not apply there, or does the asymmetry break down differently
@DarioCpx appointing someone specifically to cut rates and having them hike instead, unanimously, with zero dissents, is the kind of independence story that doesn't happen by accident
@andreysuperior $120k a year with $14k net worth after eight years is the story most people assume is exaggerated until they actually look at their own spending pattern against their raises
@xQu1q "I don't trust ChatGPT yet to control this robot on stage with me. I do trust my colleagues though" is the most honest thing a robotics founder has said publicly about where the industry actually stands
@DN_degen battery cell sorting and parts handling are real confirmed autonomous tasks now. still worth remembering some of Tesla's earlier demos turned out to be teleoperated — the track record makes "not staged" worth verifying case by case
@xQu1q the robots are in the factory. they're not doing factory work' is the line that actually matters here. everyone quotes Optimus production targets, almost nobody quotes what Musk himself said those units are currently doing
