Bitget freezes XRP withdrawals as 27M stolen tokens move
XRP withdrawals remained disabled on Sept. 26, while Bitquery's dated trace shows tokens moving onward without a measured spot-market sale.
Bitget’s XRP withdrawal route was still disabled on Sept. 26, even as the 거래소 set Oct. 2 at 08: 00 UTC for the last phase of its post-breach withdrawal reopening. Itspublished timetablenames BTC, ETH and USDT for earlier phases, then “other tokens, ” fiat and peer-to-peer services for Oct. 2. XRP is not listed separately, so the schedule places it in that final group by exclusion. Bitget’spublic XRP coin statusshowed external XRP withdrawals disabled and deposits enabled at 12: 11 UTC on Sept. 26.
The timing matters to XRP holders because the stolen tokens are also moving. Bitquerymeasured 27. 63million XRP moving onward from two tracked attacker accounts by 02: 54 UTC on Sept. 26, while 75. 35million remained in six tracked accounts. That is a dated account-balance snapshot, not a measure of XRP sold into the market. It leaves two different developments to watch: when customers can withdraw their XRP, and where the stolen XRP goes next.
Bitget’s first scheduled withdrawal phase starts with BTC on the 비트코인 networkon Sept. 28 at 08: 00 UTC. ETH follows on Sept. 29 across the networks named in its notice, and USDT follows on Sept. 30. The Oct. 2 phase covers everything grouped under other tokens, along with fiat and peer-to-peer services. Each date is a planned start; Bitget says actual withdrawal availability will appear on its platform.
The 거래소 said it had identified and remedied the vulnerability involved in the Sept. 24 incident and was carrying out further checks of its withdrawal infrastructure. It described the pause as a security measure and said user balances were unaffected. 거래 and deposits continue, according to Bitget. Its public XRP status reflected that split on Sept. 26: the XRP network was open for deposits while external withdrawals were off.
For a customer, the open 거래 venue and the closed XRP withdrawal route serve different purposes. A holder could change an XRP position on Bitget under the 거래 service the company says remains available. The API status showed that the same holder could not withdraw XRP to an outside XRP Ledger address at the time of the check. The Oct. 2 entry offers a timetable for that route; an enabled platform status and a functioning withdrawal will show whether it has opened.
Bitquery’s transaction-backed investigation put the XRP taken from Bitget at about 102. 98million tokens. In its Sept. 26 snapshot, 27. 63million XRP had moved onward from two of the six attacker accounts it tracked. The other 75. 35million XRP remained across those six accounts at 02: 54 UTC. The figures can change as funds move, and transfers out of an initial account do not identify who ultimately controls the destination.

The analytics firm followed outgoing XRP through new accounts toward THORChain, a cross-chain swap network. It said most of the XRP flow it could follow was being swapped toward 비트코인. That description applies to the route Bitquery traced, not necessarily to the full 27. 63million XRP that moved onward. The investigation also cannot identify the owners of the final 비트코인 wallets.
