Bitget to Restore Withdrawals in Phases From Sept 28 After Security Fix

The staged, network-by-network restart is the tell: Bitget is prioritising the chains with the deepest liquidity and the most user exposure first, which suggests the fix is being validated under real load rather than declared complete. Naming Mandiant and SlowMist, and confirming the protection fund absorbs the hit, addresses the two questions that follow any exchange breach — was it contained, and who pays. The open question is whether the phased schedule holds without further delay, since slippage there would say more about residual risk than the disclosure itself.
