Bitget Confirms It Was Tricked Into Approving $388M Theft

Bitget confirmed it was tricked into approving its own $388 million theft, raising its loss estimate after counting Zcash and TRON transfers. The exchange said it will announce the status of suspended withdrawals by midnight ET.

The upward revision matters less than the admission itself: this was an authorized-looking transfer, not a breached wallet, which puts the burden on operational controls rather than smart-contract security. Users of the exchange face the immediate question of withdrawal access, with the stated deadline the first concrete signal of how contained the damage is. The open question is whether other venues treat this as an isolated approval-flow failure or a broader pattern worth auditing.
